N.e.r.d. - Perseverance lyrics

[Hidden track] Hate when they call me superstar Do I look like a superstar? Yet unreachable and very far Ever noticed I'm right here wit ya'll? I cover my face because They do not need to see I ain't no gangsta or no thug I am just being me The world smells of drama So I cover up my nose The faces like film leavin' out too long, gets overexposed Getting praised by magazines From the girlfriends in my clothes I hope they still love me when I shun away 'cuz I am afraid to blow [Chorus] WANT WAR? Well! WAR WE'LL GIVE! We'll be rocking this BANDANA! Well you/So You CAN'T SEE sh*t! [scream] [2nd Verse] Now the fear of blowing up Definitely takes it's toll It sends it's demons down to your mind to take control If it thinks it's got my mind Well it better think again I got the pleasure of the piano and this powerful pen But you ([Shae:] You!} You want 15 minutes to shine what's your concept? What's so interesting? What's your desire? Soon as you get your cover story And your precious headlines So sorry, so sorry, so sorry They'll just f** you from behind [Chorus] WANT WAR? Well! WAR WE'LL GIVE! We'll be rocking this BANDANA! Well you/So you CAN'T SEE sh*t! [Bridge] I don't wanna blow up I'm smiling 'cuz I know All the pieces that make me me Will glisten from my soul My self-esteem is not a fake It comes from within Come and take a picture, I'll sign whatever you want my friend Still ([Shae:] Still) Still ([Shae:] Still) Yeah! War... [Chorus] WANT WAR? Well! WAR WE'LL GIVE! We'll be rocking this BANDANA! Well you/So you CAN'T SEE sh*t! [scream] WANT WAR!
