"Superstar"

(feat. Matthew Santos)

[Matthew Santos:]

If you are what you say you are, a superstar

Then have no fear, the camera is 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

[Lupe Fiasco:]

Yeah, uh, a fresh cool young Lu

Trying to catch his microphone, check 2-1-2

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

[Matthew Santos:]

If you are what you say you are a superstar

Then have no fear, the camera is here

And the microphones

And they wanna know, oh oh oh, yeah

[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

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

[Matthew Santos:]

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

[Lupe Fiasco:]

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 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, ha"

[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

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
