Superstar

Lupe Fiasco Superstar Lyrics
1.Superstar(feat. Matthew Santos)(Album Version)

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 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

Yea, uh
A fresh cool young Lu
Trying to cash his microphone check 2, 1, 2
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 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 to
And then it hit me
Standing outside of heaven waiting for god to come and get me
Im too uncouth
Unschooled to the rules
And two 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 song blue
Go back what ever you did you undo
Heavy is heaven
The devil on my two tons too
Ha ha ha ha ha

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, oh
Yeah

And you better wear your shades
The spotlights here can burn holes through the stage
Down through the basement
Passed 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 a blaze
Now that's important to say
Cuz 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 they 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
Cuz they been waiting since ten to see the lights get dim

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

So chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away
Cuz I 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 songs a favorite song
And mikes don't feed back
All the reviewers say you need to go and see that
And everybody claps cuz everybody is pleased
Then they all take the stage and start performing for me
Like ha ha hahaha
Ha ha hahaha ha

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 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.


2.Dumb It Down(feat. Gem StonesGraham Burris)(Amended Album Version)


Carrera(Dumb it down)
Coolest nigga what(Dumb it down)
FNF up(Dumb it down)
(Dumb it down)

I'm fearless
Now hear this
I'm earless
And I'm peerless
That means I'm eyeless
Which means I'm tearless
Which means my iris resides where my ears is
Which means I'm blinded
But I'mma find it I can feel it's nearness
But I'mma veer so I don't come near
Like a chicken or a deer
But I remember I'm not a listener or a seer
So my windshield smear
Here, you steer, I really shouldn't be behind this,
Clearly cause my blindness
The windshield is minstrel, the whole grill is roadkill,
So trill and so sincere, yeah, I'm both them there
Took both pills when a bloke in a trench coat and the locs
And the chair had approached him here
Made it clear as a ghost, so a biter of the throats in the
mirror
The writer of the quotes for the ghosts
Who supplier of the notes to the living
Riveting is rosy, pockets full of posies,
Given to the mother of the deceased.
Awaken at war, 'til I'm restin' in peace

You goin' over niggas' heads Lu(Dumb it down)
They tellin' me that they don't feel you(Dumb it down)
We ain't graduate from school nigga(Dumb it down)
Them big words ain't cool nigga(Dumb it down)
Yeah I heard Mean And Vicious nigga(Dumb it down)
Make a song for the bitches nigga(Dumb it down)
We don't care about the weather nigga(Dumb it down)
You'll sell more records if you(Dumb it down)

And I'm mouthless
Which means I'm soundless
Now as far as the hearing, I've found it
It was as far as the distance from her earring to the ground is
But the door knockers on the ear of a stewardess in a Lear
She fine and she flyin, I feel I'm flying by'em
'cause my mind's on cloud nine and in her mind at the same time
Pimps see the wings on the underground king
Who's also Klingon to infinity and beyond
Something really stinks, but I Sphinx like Leon
Or lion in the desert, I'm flying on pegasus
You're flying on the pheasant
Rider of the white powder, picker of the fire flowers,
Spit hot fire like Dylon on Chappelle's skit
Yeah, smell it on my unicorn,
Don't snort the white horse, but toot my own horn.

You've been shedding too much light Lu(Dumb it down)
You make'em wanna do right Lu(Dumb it down)
They're getting self-esteem Lu(Dumb it down)
These girls are trying to be queens Lu(Dumb it down)
They're trying to graduate from school Lu(Dumb it down)
They're starting to think that smart is cool Lu(Dumb it down)
They're trying to get up out the hood Lu(Dumb it down)
I'll tell you what you should do(Dumb it down)

And I'm brainless
Which means I'm headless
Like Ichabod Crane is
Or foreplay-less sex is
Which makes me stainless
With no neck left to hang the chain with
Which makes me necklace-less
Like a necklace theft
And I ain't used my headrest yet
They said they need proof like a vestless chest
'bout the best, fair F-F-jet in the nest
Who exudes confidence and excess depth
Even Scuba Steve would find it hard to breathe
Around these leagues
My snorkle is a tuba, Lu the ruler around these seas
Westside Poseidon, Westside beside'em, chest high and rising
Almost touching the knees of stewardess and the pilot
Lucky they make you fly with
Personal floating devices, tricks falling out of my sleeves
David Blaine
Make it rain
Make a boat
I make a plane
Then, I pull the plug and I make it drain
Until I feel like flowing and filling it up again..(Westside)

You putting me to sleep nigga(Dumb it down)
That's why you ain't popping in the streets nigga(Dumb it down)
You ain't winning no awards nigga(Dumb it down)
Robots and skateboards nigga?(Dumb it down)
GQ Man Of The Year G?(Dumb it down)
Shit ain't rocking over here B(Dumb it down)
Won't you talk about your cars nigga?(Dumb it down)
What the fuck is goyard(???what is that???) nigga(Dumb it down)
Make it rain for the chicks(Dumb it down)
Pour champagne on a bitch(Dumb it down)
What the fuck is wrong with you?(Dumb it down)
How can I get on a song with you?(Dumb it down)
