D-Sisive - Russell Peters lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm sitting at the ACC Anticipating laughs My backstage pa** laminate hangs A proud friend seated in the bleachers Stadium status Started from scratch Spins radio cla**ics The beats k**ed Thousands of tickets scanned The seats fill When I grow up I wanna be like him The beat got louder The lights dimmed A short video played on the big screens The sound drowned in the howling and thick screams That got louder when out walked the one feature It was Beatlemania For Russell Peters [Verse 2] It was just a week ago when I was skimming magazines on an indigo shelf When I saw him on the cover of a Reader's Digest "Dope!" My fingers gripped the spine and Flipped it to the page where his article was printed I read the Q&A, grinning I went back to a quote about his dad pa**ing a year prior A quote I can relate to I wish I couldn't, but the cards were dealt It was up to us to play the game through And play strong, cause nobody gets to play two When his dad died, he was generating close to 80G's a year A couple hundred heads and yuk-yuks paid to see him; A commendable career But Heaven needed an angel; When his dad died That's when success came to see him World wide attention Hail up and cheers Pockets gained weight Moved out the yuk-yuk's basement And into stadiums and theaters He fought through the heartache and pain; His father became his guardian angel [Verse 3] I was rowing in the same boat Sort of Far from making the same dough But after my father died That's when I started strolling down the paved road To making my name known My father always hated me and rap music Told me I f**ed up, by being a bad student I tell him "One day, I'll win a damn Juno And you and me will be there in matching black suits!" He'd roll his eyes and laugh like I was joking Then ask me to pa** him whatever I was smoking My Dad left me an orphan I filled a notepad with my story; The B.O.O.K. dropped And kids ate up my new EP Hopped on a jet-plane to Vancouver, B.C., Nominated for my first J On March 29th, my birthday One step closer to fulfilling my old dream But I was only one half of the whole team Even though he was watching from the nosebleeds He wasn't with me in a Harry Rosen I kept thinking to myself "This is not fair," All I wanted was my pop there With me sitting at the BC Place Anticipating claps His backstage pa** laminate hangs A proud dad seated in the bleachers Stadium status...
