Lyrics

You know people just don't, people just don't see how much work is really involved in this rap – I didn't know it, I didn't see it I never saw it until I was actually in it You really gotta be in it to understand what it's like But you always gotta, people always gotta see your smile You always gotta put on that fake You know what I'm sayin'? No matter what you just been through So you wanna be a rap 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 I remember the days when I was a young kid growin' up Lookin' in the mirror dreamin' about blowin' up To rock crowds, make money, chill wit' the honeys Sign autographs and whatever the people want from me -s funny, how impossible dreams manifest In the games that be comin' with it Nevertheless you gotta go for the gusto But you don't know about the blood sweat and tears And losin' some of your peers and losin' some of yourself to the years past gone by Hopefully you don't manifest for the wrong guy Egomaniac in the brainiac, don't know how to act -s deep, 48 tracks, studio gangsta mack Sign a deal, emcees wanna make a mill But never will, 'til he crosses over still feelin' no hate But fantasies come wit' these just to sacrifice the taste of makin' cheese You wanna be a rap superstar in the biz And take - from people who don't know what it is I wish it was all fun and games but the price of fame is high And some can't pay to play, trapped in what you rappin' about Tell me what happened when you lost clout The rout you took started collapsing No fans, no fame, no respect, no change No women and everybody -s on your name So you wanna be a rap 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 So you wanna be a rap 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 When you sign to a record label, you don't know you sign your life over And these white boys don't care about you 'cause the minute you fall off They'll find another Noreaga and they'll find another Capone-n-noreaga And they'll find another b-real so you need to just keep stacking your chips up Do what you gotta do while you're hot and ma–in' get out the game Stick to the drug game and the drug game is even worse Because if someone jerks you, you can shoot 'em and kill me But in this game if someone jerks you, you gotta be humble No matter what you just been through, – has gotta be right You gotta approach people, you gotta be on the up and up and everything gotta be all good When you see someone slap hands with 'em You know what I'm sayin' give 'em a pound, or whatever it is But you always gotta act like it ain't – So you wanna be a rap 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 So you wanna be a rap 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 My own son don't know me, I'm chillin' in a hotel room lonely But I thank god I'm wit' my homies but sometimes I wish I was back home but only no radio or videos 'Cause they show me no love The 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 disowned me And the best way back is to keep your head straight Never inflate the cranium Your crew worried about them honeys at the palladium Who just wanna cling on swing on and so on and go on and fall off The -s fall off to the next rap superstar Wit' no shame give him a year and they'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 Weezy Sleazy people wanna be cheesy, they talkin' lethal (assassin, assassin) So you wanna be a rap 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 rap 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
