Letras de (Rap) Superstar

You know people just don′t, people just don't see how much work is really involved in this rap –
I didn′t know it, I didn't see it
I never saw it until I was actually in it
You really gotta be in it to understand what it's like
But you always gotta, people always gotta see your smile
You always gotta put on that fake
You know what I′m sayin′?
No matter what you just been through

So you wanna be a rap superstar and live large
A big house, five cars, you're in charge
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
Lookin' in the mirror dreamin′ about blowin' up
To rock crowds, make money, chill wit' the honeys
Sign autographs and whatever the people want from me
-s funny, how impossible dreams manifest
In the games that be comin′ with it
Nevertheless you gotta go for the gusto
But you don′t know about the blood sweat and tears
And losin' some of your peers and losin′ some of yourself to the years past gone by
Hopefully you don't manifest for the wrong guy

Egomaniac in the brainiac, don′t know how to act
-s deep, 48 tracks, studio gangsta mack
Sign a deal, emcees wanna make a mill
But never will, 'til he crosses over still feelin′ no hate
But fantasies come wit' these just to sacrifice the taste of makin' cheese
You wanna be a rap superstar in the biz
And take - 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 to play, trapped in what you rappin' about

Tell me what happened when you lost clout
The rout you took started collapsing
No fans, no fame, no respect, no change
No women and everybody -s on your name

So you wanna be a rap superstar and live large
A big house, five cars, you′re in charge
Comin' up in the world, don′t trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
So you wanna be a rap superstar and live large
A big house, five cars, you're in charge
Comin′ up in the world, don't trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly

When you sign to a record label, you don't know you sign your life over
And these white boys don′t care about you ′cause the minute you fall off
They'll find another Noreaga and they′ll find another Capone-n-noreaga
And they'll find another b-real so you need to just keep stacking your chips up
Do what you gotta do while you′re hot and ma–in' get out the game

Stick to the drug game and the drug game is even worse
Because if someone jerks you, you can shoot ′em and kill me
But in this game if someone jerks you, you gotta be humble
No matter what you just been through, – has gotta be right
You gotta approach people, you gotta be on the up and up and everything gotta be all good
When you see someone slap hands with 'em
You know what I'm sayin′ give ′em a pound, or whatever it is
But you always gotta act like it ain't –

So you wanna be a rap superstar and live large
A big house, five cars, you′re in charge
Comin' up in the world, don′t trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
So you wanna be a rap superstar and live large
A big house, five cars, you're in charge
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 a hotel room lonely
But I thank god I'm wit′ my homies but sometimes
I wish I was back home but only no radio or videos
'Cause they 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 disowned me
And the best way back is to keep your head straight
Never inflate the cranium
Your crew worried about them honeys at the palladium
Who just wanna cling on swing on and so on and go on and fall off

The -s fall off to the next rap superstar
Wit' no shame give him a year and they′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
Sleazy people wanna be cheesy, they talkin′ lethal (assassin, assassin)

So you wanna be a rap superstar and live large
A big house, five cars, you′re in charge
Comin' up in the world, don′t trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
To be a rap superstar and live large
A big house, five cars, you're in charge
Comin′ up in the world, don't trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
