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

If you are that they say you are a superstar

Then have no fear, the crowd is here

And the lights are on and they want a show

A fresh cool young Lu

Trying to cash his microphone check two one two

Want to 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 you're 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, unschool'd to the rules and too gum shoe

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

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

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 air liners

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

Un-strap 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 gone praise

They want everything back that they paid 'cause they been waiting since ten to see the lights get dim

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

If you are that they say you are a superstar

Then have no fear, the crowd is here

And the lights are on and they want a show

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 songs a 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

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

If you are that they say you are a superstar

Then have no fear, the crowd is here

And the lights are on and they want a show
