Cypress Hill - Rap Superstar lyrics

Most people don't see how much work is really involved In this rap sh** I didn't know it I didn't see it I never saw it until I was actually in it You really gotta be in it To understand what its like But you always gotta People always gotta see your smile You always gotta put on that fake You know what I'm saying No matter what you just been through So you want to be a rap superstar And live large a big house 5 cars, you're in charge Comin up in the world Don't trust nobody Gotta look over your shoulder constantly I remember the days when I was a young kid growing up Looking in the mirror dreaming about blowing up To rock crowds make money Chill wit the honies Sign autographs and whatever the people want from me sh**s funny How impossible cream manifest in the games that be coming with it Never the less you gotta go for the gusto But you don't know about the blood sweat and tears And losing some of your peers And losing some of your self Music has past gone by Hopefully you don't manifest for the wrong guy Egomaniac in the brainiac Don't know how to act sh**s deep 48 tracks Studio gangsta mack Sign a deal emcees want to make a mill But never will Till he crosses over still Feeling no hate But fantasies come wit these Just to sacrifice the taste of makin cheese You want to be a rap superstar in the biz And take sh** from people who don't know what it is I wish it was all fun and games But the price of fame is high And some can't pay to play Trapped in what you rapping about Tell me what happened when you lost clout The rout you took started collapsing No fans No fame No respect No change No women And everyone sh**s on your name So you want to be a rap superstar And live large A big house 5 cars The rent charged Coming up in the world don't trust nobody Gotta look over your shoulder constantly To be a rap superstar And live large A big house 5 cars The rent charged Coming up in the world don't trust nobody Gotta look over your shoulder constantly When you sign to a record label You don't know you sign your life over And these whiteboys don't care about you 'cause the minute you fall off They'll find another Noreaga And they'll find another Capone-n-Noreaga And they'll find another be -Real So you need to just keep Stack your chips up Do what you gotta do while your hot And motherf**ing get out the game Stick to the drug game And the drug game is even worse Because if someone jerks you You can shoot em and k** me But in this game if someone jerks you You gotta be humble No matter what you just been through sh** has gotta be right You gotta approach people You gotta be on the up and up And everything gotta be all good When you see someone slap hands with em You know what I'm sayin give em a pound Or whatever it is But you always gotta act like it ain't sh** So you want to be a rap superstar And live large A big house 5 cars The rent charged Coming up in the world don't trust nobody Gotta look over your shoulder constantly To be a rap superstar And live large A big house 5 cars The rent charged Coming up in the world don't trust nobody Gotta look over your shoulder constantly My own son don't know me Sitting up in the hotel room lonely But I thank god I'm wit my homies But sometimes I wish I was back home But only no radio or videos 'cause they show me no love The phony gotta hit the road slowly So the record gets pushed by Sony I'm in the middle like monie And the press say that My own people disowned me And the best way back Is to keep your head straight Never inflate the cranium Your crew worried about them honies at the palladium Who just want to cling on swing on And so on and go on and fall off The hoes fall off To the next rap superstar Wit no shame give him a year And they'll be right out the game The same as the last one Who came before him Gained fame Started getting ignored I warned him Assured him This ain't easy take it from weezy Sleezy people want to be cheesey They talking evil So you want to be a rap superstar And live large A big house 5 cars The rent charged Coming up in the world don't trust nobody Gotta look over your shoulder constantly To be a rap superstar And live large A big house 5 cars The rent charged Coming up in the world don't trust nobody Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
