Superstar

Superstar (feat. Matthew Santos) - Lupe Fiasco/Matthew Santos

If you are what you say you are a superstar

Then have no fear the camera's here

And the microphones

And they wanna know oh oh oh the return

If you are what you say you are a superstar

Then have no fear the crowd is here

And the lights are on

And they want a show oh oh oh yeah

Yeah uh a fresh cool young lu

Trying to catch his microphone check two one two

Wanna believe my own hype but it's too untrue

The world brought me to my knees

What have you brung you

Did you improve on the

Design did you do something new

Well your name ain't on the

Guest list who brung you

You the more famous

Person you come through

And the sexy lady next to you you come too

And then it hit me standing

Outside of heaven

Waiting for god to come

And get me I'm too uncouth

Unschooled to the rules and too gumshoe

Too much of a newcomer and too uncool

Like shadow and lavelle I battle with it well

Though I need a holiday

Like lady who sung blue

Go back whatever you did you undo

Heavy as heaven the devil on me two tons too

If you are what you say you are a superstar

Then have no fear the camera's here

And the microphones

And they wanna know oh oh oh yeah

And you better wear your shades

The spotlights here can

Burn holes through the stage

Down to the basement past the indian graves

Where the dinosaurs laid

Then out through china nearly miss the airliners

Magnified times five unless

It's pointed at the rhymer

Ricochets off the moon

And sets the forest ablaze

Now that's important to say

'Cause even with all that most of us

Don't want it to fade

We want it to braid

Meaning we want it to grow

Meaning we want it to stay

Like the governor called

And he told him to wait

Unstrap him from the chair

And put him back in his cage

The audience ain't fazed

And they ain't gonna clap

And they ain't gonna praise

They want everything back that they've paid

'Cause they've been waiting

Since ten to see the lights get dim

If you are what you say you are a superstar

Then have no fear the crowd is here

And the lights are on

And they want a show oh oh oh yeah

So chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away

'Cause I've been standing in

This line for like five whole days

Me and security ain't getting along

And when I got to the front

They told me all of the tickets were gone

So just take me home where the mood is mellow

And the roses are thrown mm's are yellow

And the light bulbs around

My mirror don't flicker

Everybody gets a nice autograph picture

One for you and one for your sister

Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener

Every song's her favorite

Song and mics don't feedback

All the reviewers say you

Need to go and see that

And everybody claps 'cause

Everybody is pleased

And then they all take

The stage and start performing for me

Like ha ha ha ha ha

Ha ha ha ha ha

If you are what you say you are a superstar

Then have no fear the camera's here

And the microphones

And they wanna know oh oh oh

If you are what you say you are a superstar

Then have no fear the crowd is here

And the lights are on

And they want a show oh oh oh yeah

If you are

What you say

You are

Then have no fear
