So you wanna be a rock superstar, and live large
Your big house, five cars, you're in charge
Coming up in the world, don't trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
I remember the days when I was a young kid growing up
Looking in the mirror dreaming about blowing up
The rock crowds make money, shoot with the honeys
Sign autographs or whatever the people want from me
Shit's funny, how impossible dreams manifest
In the games that be coming 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 year's past, gone by
Hopefully it don't manifest with the wrong guy
Ego maniac in the braniac don't know how to act
Shit's deep, 48-track studio
Gangster-mac signed the deal, thinks he's gonna make a mil', but never will
Till he crosses over still feeling no hit, with fantasies come with means
Showed 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
Top this shit, it's all running things
But the price to fame is high
And some can't pave the way
Feel trapped in, what you rapping about
Tell me what happened when you lost clout
The route you took started collapsing
No fans, no fame, no respect, no chains, no women
And everybody shits on your shoulder
So you wanna be a rock superstar, and live large
Your big house, five cars, you're in charge
Coming up in the world, don't trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
To be a rock superstar, and live large
Your big house, five cars, you're in charge
Coming up in the world, don't trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
You ever have big dreams of making big cream
Big-shot heavy-hitter on the mainstream
You wanna look trendy in the Bentley
Be a star band never act friendly
You wanna have big fame, let me explain
What happens to these stars in their big brains
First they get played like all damn day
Long as you sell everything'll be okay
Then you get dissed by the media and fans
Things never stay the same way they began
I heard that some nigga get fulled to the fullest
That's why fools end up dining on the bullet
Think everything's fine in the big time
See me in my Lex with the chrome re-shined
So you wanna go far, and live large
It ain't all that goes with being a rock star
So you wanna be a rock superstar, and live large
Your big house, and five cars, you're in charge
Coming up in the world, don't trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
To be a rock superstar, and live large
Your big house, and five cars, you're in charge
Coming up in the world, don't trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
My own son don't know me
I'm chilling 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 videos
'Cause they show me no love, they're phony
Gotta hit the roads soley so the record gets pushed by Sony
I'm in the middle like moanie 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
You're too worried about them honeys at the Paladium
Who just wanna cling on, swing on, and so on
Go on, fall off, the hoes roll on
Till the next rock superstar with no shame
Give 'em a year and they'll be right out the game
The same as the last one who came before him
Gained fame, started getting ignored
I warned him, assured him this ain't easy, take it from Wheezy
Sleazy people want to be so cheesy, they're fucking evil
So you wanna be a rock superstar, and live large
Your big house, five cars, you're in charge
Coming up in the world, don't trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
To be a rock superstar, and live large
Your big house, five cars, you're in charge
Coming up in the world, don't trust nobody
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
