If you are what they say you are (yeah, yeah)
A superstar (what you say now)
Then have no fear, the camera's here (uh)
And the microphones and they wanna know, oh, oh, oh, yeah (free Chilly)
Yeah, uh, a fresh cool young Lu'
Tryna cash 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 a 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 waitin' 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 what ever you did, you undo
Heavy as Heaven, the devil on my two tons too
If you are what they 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 through the basement, past the Indian graves where the dinosaurs laid, and
Out through China nearly misses airliners
Magnified times five, this is pointed at the rhymer
Ricochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaze
Now that's important to say 'cause even with all of 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 gone clap, and they ain't gon' praise
They want everything back that they paid
'Cause they been waiting since ten to see the lights get dim
If you are what they 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, M&M's are yellow
And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker
Everybody gets a nice autographed 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, ha"
If you are what they say you are
A superstar
Then have no fear, the camera's here
And the microphones and they wanna know, oh, oh, oh, yeah
If you are
What you say you are
Then have no fear
