Song lyrics

[Intro:]
A lot of a... sharks out there tryna take a bite of something what's hot. Lot of chameleons out there tryna change up anytime something new comes along. Everybody wants a bite. Don't happen overnight.

[Chorus: B-Real]
So you wanna be a rock superstar?
And live large, a big house, five cars, you're in change
Comin' up in the world don't trust nobody,
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly.

[Verse 1: B-Real]
I remember the days when I was a young kid growin' up,
Lookin' in the mirror, dreamin' about blowin' up,
To rock crowds, make money, chill with the honeys,
Sign autographs or whatever the people want from me.
Shit's funny how impossible dreams manifest,
And the games that be comin' with it, nevertheless,
You gotta go for the gusto but you don't know
About the blood, sweat and tears and losing some of your peers,
And losin' some of yourself to the years past gone by,
Hopefully, it don't manifest for the wrong guy.
Egomaniac and the brainiac, don't know how to act,
Shit's deep, 48 tracks.
Studio gangster mack signed the deal, thinks 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 cheese.
You wanna be a rock superstar in the biz?
And take shit 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,
Still 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 shits on your name.

[Chorus: B-Real – ×2]
So you wanna be a rock superstar?
And live large, a big house, five cars, you're in change
Comin' up in the world don't trust nobody,
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly.

[Interlude:]
People see rockstars, you namsayin'? But you still tryna get out more like, like everybody else. It's a fun job, but it's still a job. Save your money, man, save your money too. It's single don't last very long, you namsayin'? I mean, you're lucky in this game, too. There's gon' be another cat comin' out lookin' like me, soundin' like me. Next year, I know this, they'll be a flipside, do what cha do. Somebody'll try to spin off like some series.

[Verse 2: Sen Dog]
You ever have big dreams of makin' big cream?
Big shot, heavy hitter on the mainstream.
You wanna look shanty in the Bentley,
Be a snob 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, everything 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 give full to the fullest,
That's while fools end up dinin' on the bullet.
Think everything's fine in the big time,
See me in my Lex' with the chrome raised high,
So you wanna roll far and live large?
It ain't all that goes with being a rockstar.

[Chorus: B-Real – ×2]
So you wanna be a rock superstar?
And live large, a big house, five cars, you're in change
Comin' up in the world don't trust nobody,
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly.

[Verse 3: B-Real]
My own son don't know me,
I'm chillin' in the 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 didn't show me,
No love, the phony, gotta hit the road slowly,
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 is to keep your head straight,
Never inflate the cranium.
They're too worried about them honeys at the Palladium,
Who just wanna cling on, swing on, and so on,
Go on, fall off, the hoes roll on
To the next rock superstar with no shame,
Give him a year, he'll be right out the game,
The same as the last one, who came before him.
Gained fame, started gettin' ignored, I warned him,
Assured him, this ain't easy, take it from Weezy,
Sleezy people wanna be so cheesy, the fuckin' lethal
Assassins, assassins.

[Chorus: B-Real – ×2]
So you wanna be a rock superstar?
And live large, a big house, five cars, you're in change
Comin' up in the world don't trust nobody,
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly.
