(Rock) Superstar - Edit

A lot of sharks out there tryna take a bite of somethin'
 What's hot?
 Lot of chameleons out there tryna change up
 Anytime somethin' new comes along, everybody wants a bite
 Don't happen overnight
 So you wanna be a rock superstar?
 And live large, a big house, five cars, you're in change
 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 growin' up
 Looking in the mirror, dreamin' about blowin' up
 The rock crowd, make money, chill with the honey's
 Sign autographs or whatever the people want from me
 Shit's funny how impossible dreams manifest
 And the games that be comin' with it, nevertheless
 You got to 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 yourself to the years past gone by
 Hopefully it don't manifest for the wrong guy
 Egomaniac and the brainiac don't know how to act
 Shit's deep, 48 tracks
 Studio gangster mack signed the deal, thinks he's gonna make a mil'
 But never will 'til he crosses over
 Still filling your head with fantasies
 Come with me, show the sacrifice it takes to make the cheese
 You wanna be a rock superstar in the biz?
 And take shit 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 the way
 Still trapped in what you rappin' about
 Tell me what happened when you lost clout
 The route you took started collapsing
 No fans, no fame, no respect, no change, no women and everybody shits on your name
 You wanna be a rock superstar?
 And live large, a big house, five cars, you're in change
 Comin' up in the world, don't trust nobody
 Gotta look over your shoulder, constantly
 To be a rock superstar?
 And live large, a big house, five cars, you're in change
 Comin' up in the world don't trust nobody
 Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
 People see rockstars, you know what I'm saying?
 But you still tryna get out more like
 Like everybody else, you know, you know
 It's a fun job, but it's still a job, you know
 Save your money man, save your money too
 Hit single don't last very long, you know what I'm saying?
 I mean, you're lucky in this game too
 There's gon' be another cat comin' out
 Lookin' like me, soundin' like me, next year I know this
 They'll be a flipside, do what you do
 Somebody'll try to spin off like some series
 You ever have big dreams of makin' big cream?
 Big shot, heavy hitter on the mainstream
 You wanna look trendy in the Bentley
 Be a snob and never act friendly
 You wanna have big fame, let me explain
 What happens to these stars and their big brains
 First they get played like all damn day
 Long as you sell, everything will be okay
 Then you get dissed by the media and fans
 Things never stay the same way they began
 I heard that some never give full to the fullest
 That's while fools end up dining on the bullet
 Think everything's fine in the big time
 See me in my Lex' with the chrome raised high
 So you wanna roll far and live large?
 It ain't all that goes with bein' a rock star
 So you wanna be a rock superstar?
 And live large, a big house, five cars, you're in change
 Comin' up in the world, don't trust nobody
 Gotta look over your shoulder, constantly
 To be a rock superstar?
 And live large, a big house, five cars, you're in change
 Comin' up in the world, don't trust nobody
 Gotta look over your shoulder, constantly
 My own son don't know me
 I'm chillin' in the hotel room, lonely
 But I thank God I'm with my homies
 But sometimes I wish I was back home
 But only no radio or video didn't 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 disown me
 And the best way back is to keep your head straight
 Never inflate the cranium
 They're too worried about them honies at the Palladium
 Who just wanna cling on, swing on, and so on
 Go on, fall off, the hoes roll on
 'Til the next rock superstar with no shame
 Give him a year, he'll be right out the game
 The same as the last one who came before him
 Gained fame, started gettin' ignored, I warned him
 Assured him, this ain't easy take it from Weezy
 Sleezy people wanna be so cheesy, the fuckin' lethal
 (Assassins, assassins)
 So you wanna be a rock superstar?
 And live large, a big house, five cars, you're in change
 Comin' up in the world, don't trust nobody
 Gotta look over your shoulder, constantly
 To be a rock superstar?
 And live large, a big house, five cars, you're in change
 Comin' up in the world, don't trust nobody
 Gotta look over your shoulder, constantly
