[laughs] Yeahhh, yea, yea, uhh [Chorus: Ja Rule] I'm a rock star bay-bayyyyy If they could only, read my mind I'm a rock star bay-bayyyyy If they could only, hear my cries I'm a rock star bay-bayyyyy If they would only re-alize I'm a rock star bay-bayyyyy, hey hey Only if they could live my life [Ja Rule] Said a n***a was RAISED up in the streets (yea mama I'm a thug) And nuttin is stoppin for me (except for myself) Is the Lord in me? (You and everyone else) God please shine down on me I'm not the only n***a that prays every day for forgiveness This life is makin me substance abusive The media always wants the exclusive Well here it is - fu*k 'EM ALL - baby cause they're useless Sometimes I feel all I need is my music It f**in sets me free, and let me breathe Cause my n***az ain't leavin they blood on the streets for they kids not to eat, and they kids not to eat REVOLUTION! Pick a side and draw heats And may the best man hold his head on these here streets Cause in life and in music I'm poised and I'm focused And the world should take notice [Chorus] [Ja Rule] Underworld ties, is where my heart lies They do the drama, makin songs like "Ol' Blue Eyes" that make the whole world sing.. It's alright if you don't understand me, it wasn't meant to be Cause it's hard enough for me to fight for what I believe in Than have to look in the mirror and see demons Now everybody's talkin rhyme over reason My only reason for rhymin is cause I bleed it Here come the leeches; they gettin paid off my talent, my love, my pain - am I a slave? Bein cursed in my own brain For this life I embrace and I praise A n***a stuck in his ways As the remix plays Rule and J. Blige, "Rainy Days" I think about life and music and how to stay focused And the world should take notice [Chorus] [Ja Rule] Hey, this is a message to mankind I bust clearly you shoot blind, not in my right mind Lord if you love me please throw up a sign And take a n***a off the path of destroyin his life, and This life we're livin the sign of the times Where buildings take on planes, babies born with AIDS And we all need change So I became a rock star bay-bayyy (rock on) Now they all gon' hate me (hate on) But from the bottom of my heart I pray That in life and in music the world stays focused And I hope you all notice [Chorus - repeat 2X]
