(Rock) Superstar (Live at The Fillmore, San Francisco, California, August 16, 2000) - Cypress Hill

So you wanna be a rock superstar and live large

A big house five cars you're in charge

Comin' up in the world don't trust nobody

Got to 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

The rock crowds make money chill with the honeys

Sign autographs and whatever the people want from me

It's funny how impossible dreams manifest

And the games that be comin' with it

Nevertheless you got to 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 it don't manifest let it all a lie

Egomaniac and the Brainiac don't know how to act

Just deep 48 track

Studio gangsta mack sign the deal

Think he's gonna make a mil but never will

'Till he crosses over still

Fillin' your head with fantasies come with me

Show the sacrifice it takes to make the G's

You wanna be a rock 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 the way

Feel trapped in what you rappin' about

Tell me what happened when you lost clout

The route you took started collapsin'

No fans no fame no respect no change no women

And everybody on your name

So you wanna be a rock superstar and live large

A big house five cars you're in charge

Comin' up in the world don't trust nobody

Got to look over your shoulder constantly

So you wanna be a rock superstar and live large

A big house five cars

Comin' up in the world don't trust nobody

Got to look over your shoulder constantly

You ever have big dreams of makin' big green

Big shot heavy hitter on the mainstream

You wanna look trendy in the Bentley

Be a star and never act friendly

You wanna have big fame

Let me explain what happens to these stars and their big brains

First they get played like all damn day

Long as you sell everythin' will be okay

Then you get dissed by the media and fans

Things never stay the same way they began

I heard that some never get fooled to the fullest

That's why fools end up dinin' on a bullet

Think everything's fine in the big time

See me in my Lex with the chrome ray shine

So you wanna roll far and live large

It ain't all that goes with bein' a rock star

So you wanna be a rock superstar and live large

A big house five cars you're in charge

Comin' up in the world don't trust nobody

Got to look over your shoulder constantly

So you wanna be a rock superstar and live large

A big house five cars you're in charge

Comin' up in the world don't trust nobody

Got to 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 with my homies

But sometimes I wish I was back home

But only no radio or video's

Sonna show me no love they're phony

Got to hit the road solely so the record gets pushed by Sony

I'm in the middle like Monie

And the press say that my own people disown me

And the best way back

Never inflate the cranium

They're too worried about them honeys at the Palladium

Who just wanna swing on cling on suck on

Go on suck it suck it some more

To the next rock superstar with 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

Take it from the weazy

Sleazy people want to be so cheesy

They're so evil evil evil

So you wanna be a rock superstar and live large

A big house five cars you're in charge

Comin' up in the world don't trust nobody

Got to look over your shoulder constantly

So you wanna be a rock superstar and live large

A big house five cars you're in charge

Comin' up in the world don't trust nobody

Got to look over your shoulder constantly
