Текст песни

[Chorus: 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. 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, yeah!

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
Yeah, uh, a fresh cool young Lu,
Tryna 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,
Standin' 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, whatever you did, you undo,
Heavy as heaven, the devil on me, two tons too.

[Chorus: 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.
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, yeah!

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
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, meanin' we want it to grow,
Meanin' 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 waitin' since ten to see the lights get dim.

[Chorus: 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.
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, yeah!

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]
So, chauffeur, chauffeur, come and take me away
‘Cause I've been standin' in this line for like five whole days.
Me and security ain't gettin' 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 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 performin' for me
Like, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

[Chorus: 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.
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, yeah!
If you are what you say you are,
Then have no fear.
