Superstar (feat. Matthew Santos)

If you are what you say you are (yeah, yeah) a superstar (gon' say now)

Then have no fear, the camera's here

And the microphones

And they wanna know-oh-oh-oh, yeah (free Chilly)

Yeah, uh, a fresh cool young Lu'

Tryin' cash his microphone check, 2-1-2

Wanna believe my own hype but it's too untrue

The world brought me to my knees, what have you brung you?

Did you improve on the design? Did you do somethin' new?

Well, your name ain't on the guest list, who brung you?

You! The more famous person you come through

And the sexy lady next to you, you come too

And then it hit me

Standin' outside of heaven waitin' for God to come and get me

I'm too uncouth

Unschooled to the rules and too gum shoe

Too much of a new comer and too un-cool

Like Shadow and Lavelle, I battle with it well

Though I need holiday like lady who sung "Blue"

Go back, whatever you did you undo

Heavy as heaven, the devil on me, two tons too

If you are what you say you are, a superstar

Then have no fear, the camera's here

And the microphones

And they wanna know-oh-oh-oh, yeah

And you better wear your shades

The spotlights here can burn holes through the stage

Down to the basement pass the Indian graves

Where the dinosaurs laid and

Out through China, nearly miss the airliners

Magnified times five, 'less it's pointed at the rhymer

Ricochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaze

Now, that's important to say

'Cause even with all that most of us don't want it to fade

We want it to braid, meaning we want it to grow

Meaning we want it to stay

Like the governor called and he told him to wait

Unstrap him from the chair and put him back in his cage

The audience ain't fazed

And they ain't gon' clap and they ain't gon' praise

They want everything back that they've paid

'Cause they've been waitin' since ten to see the lights get dim

If you are what you say you are, a superstar

Then have no fear, the crowd is here

And the lights are on

And they want a show-oh-oh-oh, yeah

So chauffeur, chauffeur, come and take me away

'Cause I've been standin' in this line for like five whole days

Me and security ain't getting' along

And when I got to the front, they told me all of the tickets were gone

So just take me home where the mood is mellow

And the roses are grown, M&M's are yellow

And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker

Everybody gets a nice autograph picture

One for you and one for your sister

Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener

Every songs her favorite song and mics don't feedback

All the reviewers say "You need to go and see that"

And everybody claps 'cause everybody is pleased

And then they all take the stage and start performin' for me

Like, "Ha, ha, ha-ha-ha"

"Ha, ha, ha-ha-ha, ha"

If you are what you say you are, a superstar

Then have no fear, the camera's here

And the microphones

And they wanna know-oh-oh-oh (yeah)

If you are

What you say you are

Then have no fear
