Superstar - Lupe Fiasco

[00:2.27]Ah, ah, oh my God
[00:4.12]All this for me, I must be on my job
[00:6.39]First album was a classic, never got an award
[00:8.89]Took my first ten grand and bought a Honda Accord
[00:11.56]And then I pack them thangs inside the Honda Accord
[00:14.06]And put them on a highway and watch the Honda Accord
[00:16.41]Excuse me Mr. Engineer, hope you pressin' record
[00:19.07]And on behalf of the streets, I just can't be ignored (YEAH!)
[00:21.8]The staging all black (Black)
[00:23.12]Just like a new glock
[00:24.25]All the broads screamin' like they just seen 2Pac
[00:26.65]Say his earrings 'bout as big as his ego
[00:28.76]Keep a fresh bald head like he just left chemo (AY!)
[00:31.56]This ain't even mine, this is Lupe's single
[00:34.13]And everytime I watch The Wire, it's like I just left B-Mo (HA HA!)
[00:36.68]Call me Marlo, come be my Snoopy
[00:39.18]Superstar, baby, why wouldn't you do me (YO!)
[00:41.85]If you are what you say you are
[00:45.21]A superstar
[00:48.2]Then have no fear
[00:50.83]The camera's here
[00:52.91]And the microphones
[00:55.34]And they wanna' know
[00:57.8]Oh, oh, oh
[00:58.83]Yeah, one more time
[01:01.73]You on your fifteenth minute of fame and on the sixteenth
[01:07.1]Beginith the lame, and on seventeen, you lose everything
[01:11.25]The twenty-first is the worst, wishin' you was eleven
[01:15.83]Poppin' like you was seven with the feelin' when you was seconds
[01:19.78]Reminiscin' when you was just in
[01:24.22]Now you just ten, no longer the trend they dressin'
[01:28.2]Now you wonderin' where all the press went
[01:32.5]You no longer impress them
[01:34.92]Get arrested, paparazzi will press then
[01:37.13]I fell on purpose to stay a freshmen
[01:41.42]I lose
[01:42.87]But Lu' attend the school for X-Men
[01:45.27]So when I get my cap and gown and put the rappin' down
[01:49.33]I'll only know half my powers, but I spend half an hour
[01:53.27]Like a senior citizen, havin' a baby shower
[01:57.67]Haters wanna budge it, but my fans still love it
[01:61.78]So you can ask them exactly who I are
[01:65.82]Nine weeks at number one, I'm a superstar
[01:70.42]If you are what you say you are
[01:76.62]A superstar

[02:12.13]Had to get rid of all the phonies in the homie's disguise
[02:16.3]So you speak and I don't reply, homie, don't be surprised
[02:20.52]You ain't gotta ride for me, I ain't asked you to
[02:24.83]Take a journey on my own, I would glad to do
