You know people just don't [00:00:00]
People just don't see how much work[00:00:02]
Is really involved in this rap sh*t [00:00:04]
I didn't know it [00:00:05]
I didn't see it[00:00:07]
I never saw it until I was actually in it[00:00:07]
You really gotta be in it[00:00:10]
To understand what it's like[00:00:11]
But you always gotta [00:00:12]
People always gotta see you smile[00:00:13]
You always gotta put on that fake [00:00:15]
You know what I'm sayin' [00:00:17]
Like no matter what you just been through[00:00:18]
See it's gotta be right[00:00:19]
So you wanna be a rap superstar and live large[00:00:20]
A big house 5 cars you're in charge[00:00:22]
Comin' up in the world don't trust nobody[00:00:24]
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly[00:00:27]
I remember the days when I was a young kid growin' up[00:00:29]
Lookin' in the mirror dreamin' about blowin' up[00:00:32]
To rock crowds make money chill wit' the honeys[00:00:34]
Sign autographs and whatever the people want from me[00:00:37]
Shits funny how impossible[00:00:39]
Cream manifest in the games that be comin' with it[00:00:41]
Never the less you gotta go for the gusto[00:00:44]
But you don't know about the blood sweat and tears[00:00:46]
And losin' some of your peers and losin' some of yourself[00:00:48]
Music has past gone by[00:00:51]
Hopefully you don't manifest for the wrong guy[00:00:52]
Egomaniac in the brainiac don't know how to act[00:00:55]
Shits deep 48 tracks studio gangsta mack[00:00:58]
Sign a deal Emcees wanna make a mill[00:01:01]
But never will till he crosses over still feelin' no hate[00:01:03]
But fantasies come wit' these just to[00:01:06]
Sacrifice the taste of makin' cheese[00:01:08]
You wanna be a rap superstar in the biz[00:01:10]
And take sh*t from people who don't know what it is[00:01:12]
I wish it was all fun and games[00:01:15]
But the price of fame is high[00:01:17]
And some can't pay to play [00:01:18]
Trapped in what you rappin' about[00:01:20]
Tell me what happened when you lost clout[00:01:22]
The rout you took started collapsing[00:01:24]
No fans no fame no respect [00:01:25]
No change[00:01:27]
No women and everybody shits on your name[00:01:28]
So you wanna be a rap superstar and live large[00:01:30]
A big house 5 cars the rent charged[00:01:33]
Comin' up in the world don't trust nobody[00:01:36]
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly[00:01:38]
To be a rap superstar and live large[00:01:41]
A big house 5 cars the rent charged[00:01:43]
Comin' up in the world [00:01:46]
Don't trust nobody[00:01:47]
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly[00:01:49]
When you sign to a record label[00:01:51]
You don't know you sign your life over[00:01:53]
And these white boys don't care about you[00:01:55]
'Cuz the minute you fall off[00:01:56]
They'll find another Noreaga[00:01:58]
And they'll find another Capone N-Noreaga[00:01:59]
And they'll find another B-Real[00:02:01]
So you need to just keep[00:02:02]
Stack your chips up[00:02:04]
Do what you gotta do while your hot[00:02:05]
And motherf**kin' get out the game[00:02:06]
Just do for the drug game is[00:02:08]
Even worse because in a drug game[00:02:09]
If somebody jerks you [00:02:11]
You can shoot 'em and kill 'em[00:02:12]
But in this game if somebody jerks you [00:02:14]
You gotta be humble[00:02:16]
No matter what you just been through [00:02:17]
Sh*t has gotta be right[00:02:18]
You gotta approach people [00:02:19]
You gotta be on the up and up[00:02:21]
And everything's gotta be all good[00:02:22]
When you see somebody slap hands with 'em[00:02:24]
You know what I'm sayin' give 'em a[00:02:26]
Pound or whatever it is[00:02:28]
But you always gotta act like it ain't sh*t[00:02:29]
So you wanna be a rap superstar and live large[00:02:31]
A big house 5 cars the rent charged[00:02:34]
Comin' up in the world don't trust nobody[00:02:37]
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly[00:02:40]
To be a rap superstar and live large[00:02:42]
A big house 5 cars [00:02:44]
The rent charged[00:02:46]
Comin' up in the world [00:02:47]
Don't trust nobody[00:02:48]
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly[00:02:50]
My own son don't know me [00:02:52]
I'm chillin' in a hotel room lonely[00:02:53]
But I thank God I'm wit' my homies but sometimes[00:02:55]
I wish I was back home but only no radio or videos[00:02:58]
'Cause they show me no love[00:03:01]
The phony gotta hit the road slowly[00:03:03]
So the record gets pushed by Sony[00:03:05]
I'm in the middle like monie and the press say that[00:03:07]
My own people disowned me[00:03:10]
And the best way back is to keep your head straight[00:03:11]
Never inflate the cranium[00:03:13]
Your crew worried about them honeys at the palladium[00:03:15]
Who just wanna cling on swing on[00:03:17]
And so on and go on and fall off[00:03:19]
The hoes fall off to the next rap superstar[00:03:21]
Wit' no shame give him a year and[00:03:24]
They'll be right out the game[00:03:26]
The same as the last one who came before him[00:03:28]
Gained fame started gettin' ignored[00:03:30]
I warned him assured him[00:03:32]
This ain't easy take it from Weezy[00:03:33]
Sleazy people wanna be cheesy [00:03:35]
They talkin' evil[00:03:36]
So you wanna be a rap superstar and live large[00:03:42]
A big house 5 cars [00:03:45]
The rent charged[00:03:47]
Comin' up in the world [00:03:48]
Don't trust nobody[00:03:50]
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly[00:03:51]
Assassin[00:03:53]
Assassin[00:03:53]
To be a rap superstar and live large[00:03:54]
A big house 5 cars [00:03:56]
The rent charged[00:03:57]
Comin' up in the world [00:03:58]
Don't trust nobody[00:04:00]
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly[00:04:01]
