(Lupe! Ah hah hah, Young)

Oh my god, all this for me, I must be on my job

First album was a classic never got an award

Took my first ten grand and bought a Honda Accord

And then I packed them things inside that Honda Accord

And put 'em on the highway and watched the Honda Accord

Excuse me Mr. Engineer I hope you're pressing record

And on behalf of the streets, I just can't be ignored (yeah!)

Hit the stage in all black, just like a new glock (whoop)

All the broads screamin' like they just seen Tupac

Say his earrings about as big as his ego

Keep a fresh bald head like he just left chemo (ay!)

This ain't even mine, this is Lupe's single

[rap, hip-hop and R&B lyrics found on beckerist.com]

And every time I watch the Wire like I just left B'more (hah hah!)

Call me Marlo, come be my Snoopy

Superstar baby why wouldn't you do me (go!)

If you are what you say you are

A superstar, then have no fear

The camera's here

And the microphones, and they want to know

(Yeah, one more time, come on)

You on your fifteenth minute of fame and

On the sixteenth beginneth the lame and

On seventeen you lose everything

The 21st is the worst, wishin' you was eleven

Poppin' like you were seven

[rap, hip-hop and R&B lyrics found on beckerist.com]

With the feelin' when you were seconds (wooh!)

Reminiscin' when you was just in, now you just him

No longer the trend they dressin'

Now you wonderin' where all the press went

You no longer impress them, get arrested

Paparazzi will press then

I failed on purpose to stay a freshman

I lose, but Lu' attended school for X-Men

So when I get my cap and gown and put the rappin' down

I'll only know half my powers but I spent half an hour

Like a senior citizen havin' a baby shower

Hater's want to budget but my fans still love it

So you can ask them exactly who I are

Nine weeks at number one, I'm a superstar

[rap, hip-hop and R&B lyrics found on beckerist.com]

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 (yeah)

(Ok now)

Anyone who know me they know me to ride

But when this shit was sellin' slow it's just my homies and I

Had to get rid of all the phony's and the homies disguised

So you speakin' I don't reply, homie don't be surprised

You ain't got to ride for me, I didn't ask you to

Take the journey on my own, I will gladly do

You goin' and turn around me I'll call a cab for you

I stand up on my own two, me kiss the ass of who

No way Jose, we pop Rose', blow dro is more than OK

[rap, hip-hop and R&B lyrics found on beckerist.com]

See but don't say my fault they clip more yay than Cirque du Soleil

Kaiser Soze or they kill people and get off like OJ

You catch your case, just shut your face, don't get caught singin', do re

Me fa so la ti do, ghetto hero G code I obey, he's so gay

Didn't have no business hangin' 'round me, no way, it's ok

Life lesson learned, I suggest you go your way, I be straight

No conversation man, it's all I'm goin' say, hey

If you are what you say you are

A superstar, then have no fear

The camera's here

And the microphones, and they want to know

If you are what you say you are

A superstar (superstar,) then have no fear

[rap, hip-hop and R&B lyrics found on beckerist.com]

The crowd is here

And the lights are on, and they want a show (yeah)

If you are what you say you are

Then have no fear
