(Rock) Superstar

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 flip side, 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 get full to the fullest

That's why fools end up dinin' on a 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 charge

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 charge

Comin' up in the world, don't trust nobody

Got to 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 with my homies

But sometimes I wish I was back home

But only no radio or video didn't show me

No love, they're 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 honeys 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, and 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 the Weezy

Sleazy 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 charge

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 charge

Comin' up in the world, don't trust nobody

Gotta look over your shoulder, constantly
