Superstar

(Feat. Matthew Santos)
 [Crowd cheering]
 [Chorus? Matthew Santos]
 If you are what you say you are, a superstar
 Then have no fear, the camera's is here
 And the microphone's
 And they wanna' know oh 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 oh, yeah
 [Verse 1? Lupe Fiasco]
 Yeah, uh
 A fresh cool young Lu'
 Tryna' 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 somethin' new?
 Well ya' 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 gum shoe
 Too much of a new comer and too un-cool
 Like Shadow and Lavelle, I battle wit' it well
 Tho I need holiday like lady who sung "Blue"
 Go back, whatever you did you undo
 Heavy as heaven
 The devil on me, two ton's too
 [Chorus? Matthew Santos]
 If you are what you say you are, a superstar
 Then have no fear, the camera's is here
 And the microphone's
 And they wanna' know oh oh oh oh, yeah
 [Verse 2? Lupe Fiasco]
 And ya' better wear ya' shaaades
 The spotlights here can burn holes through the staaage
 Down to the basement pass the Indian graves
 Where the dinosaurs laid
 Then out through shinin', nearly miss the airliners
 Magnified times five, 'less it's pointed at the rhymer
 Ricochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaaaze, woo!
 Now that's important to say
 'Cause even with all that most of us don't want it to faaade
 We want it to braid, meaning we want it to grow
 Meaning we want it to staaay
 Like the Governor called and he told him to waaait
 Un-strap him from the chair and put him back in his caaage
 The audience ain't faaazed
 And they ain't gon' clap and they ain't gon' 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 crowd is here
 And the lights are on
 And they want a show oh oh oh oh, 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 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 grown, M&Ms 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 songs 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 microphone's
 And they wanna' know oh 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 oh, yeah
 If you are, what you say you are
 Then have no fear
