Lupe Fiasco - Superstar (radio version) lyrics

Matthew Santos If you are what they say you are - a superstar Then have no fear, the camera's here And the microphones and they wanna know If you are that they say you are - a superstar Then have no fear, the crowd is here And the lights are on and they want a show Lupe Fiasco A fresh cool young Lu Trying to cash his microphone check two one two Want to 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 something new? Well you're name ain't on the guest list, who brung you? You, the more famous person you come through And the s**y lady next to you, you come too And then it hit me standing outside of Heaven waitin' for God to come and get me I'm too uncouth, unschool'd to the rules and too gum shoe Too much of a newcomer and too uncool Like Shadow and Lavelle I battle with it well Though I need a holiday like lady who sung blue Go back what ever you did you undo Heavy as Heaven, the devil on my two tons too Ha ha ha ha ha ha Matthew Santos If you are what they say you are - a superstar Then have no fear, the camera's here And the microphones and they wanna know Lupe Fiasco And you better wear your shades The spotlights here can burn holes through the stage Down through the basement past the Indian graves where the dinosaurs laid And out through China nearly misses air liners Magnified times five this is pointed at the rhymer Ricochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaze Now that's important to say 'cause even with all of 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 Un-strap him from the chair and put him back in his cage The audience ain't fazed and they ain't gone clap and they ain't gone praise They want everything back that they paid 'cause they been waiting since ten to see the lights get dim Ha ha ha ha ha ha Matthew Santos If you are that they say you are - a superstar Then have no fear, the crowd is here And the lights are on and they want a show Lupe Fiasco So chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away 'Cause I've been standing 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 thrown, M&M's are yellow And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker Everybody gets a nice autographed picture One for you and one for your sister Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener Every songs a 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 Then they all take the stage and start performing for me Like ha ha ha ha ha... Ha ha ha ha ha...ha Matthew Santos If you are what they say you are - a superstar Then have no fear, the camera's here And the microphones and they wanna know If you are that they say you are - a superstar Then have no fear, the crowd is here And the lights are on and they want a show
