wanna be
Oh, oh (so you wanna be a star, star) Oh, oh (never, never, never) Oh, oh (you say you wanna be a star, star) Oh, oh, oh (never, never, never)  [Chorus] I think you're gonna have to find who you are Can't find your, lane but you wanna be a star A star, do you wanna be a star? Can't find your, lane but you wanna be, wanna be a star  I know the grind, she tryin' to be a star, she goin' hard Doin' a hundred in the car but never could make it out the yard Cause you're stalled, how, when you can't even get it started? It's probably cause you too naughty to get up in the party She wanna make it so she'll sleep with him, late night creep with him He'll tell her he can make her famous if she did him Suck him lick him, another victim of a "bust and ditch 'em" Why must you suffer this when really love, what's the mission? Because you still live in your daddy and your momma house Shoulda knew homie was not about to go the dumber route Left you with a lot of doubt, kinda like in a drought Got no mo' integrity, slow flow, what you tellin' me? There's jealousy goin' on, all because she wanna make it famous And sip champagne with the greatest So you wanna be a star, the ride you'll take is evident You'll never get ahead so it's irrelevant (relevant)  [Chorus]  Baby girl can sing, she thick, man I think she got it But they tellin' me to watch her, call her baby pockets So I bring it to her straight, to a real knight She got herself on protection, we all good all night She said they only wanna cut, bustas never business Sometimes she wishes but uh, maybe then they'll listen Dirty game, I feel the same And do I think her career woulda jumped if she just laid down A tear in her eye, baby don't cry And then she told me all about her church background And how she lovin' this life, livin' this life Now I think I'm dealin' with a headcase Any heart put it all in, tell yo'self it's a must-win Apply pressure never give up, laugh in the end then fuck 'em Stay on yo' paper nigga straight face, attitude nigga pay me Still wanna be a star, huh, huh? Reach hard!  [Chorus]  Hear you wanna be a star, huh? Think you got what it take to make it large, huh? Don't even know who you are, huh? You say you wanted to learn it, huh? You say everybody feelin' you "Flesh I hear 'em" what a wonderful tinglin' feel in you How straight are your priorities? So the story goes Chasin' dreams, all they tellin' them is sacrifice they souls You really listenin'? Learn a lesson from these bro's Playin' the game it's heavy heatin' up and down that road  They say the boy got talent but he can't catch a break He doin' everything he can but he makin' mistakes Plus he runnin' with the crowd cause he wanna be seen Got the tendency to follow instead of takin' the lead We in the league of extraordinary gentlemen check And if you wanna play the game you got to give 'em the step Make no impression with expression but you gotta be focused They don't pick you for the team just because you the dopest Too many niggas got the game twisted lookin' for fame Instead of lovin' what they do, and makin' a name It's a shame how they idolize the idiot box Feel the pain in television, the deception and shock And when they finally figure out it ain't about what they seein' Take the money and the toys, niggas still human beings All of that ain't jack if you ain't got the respect Cause a real superstar know how to double them checks, yep  [Chorus]  I see women givin' they bodies like David Letterman love you Strugglin' in the hustle, slangin' tapes on the internet avenue Get you capitol shit, know how the ratchet do Sorry I was late to tell you exactly what masters do You don't have to sell your soul, no not anymore Parker Brothers, Ouija board, I covered that Adam whore Niggas get their labels but wait, it's a recession in weight You downloadin' on all the industry's veterans Been a star but bein' a star don't pay the bills Know 'bout the spinnin' wheels, baby Bizzy keep it real Don't open battle seals, no matter who you are Now get your money, only Jesus can make you a star  [Chorus]  Oh, ooh, oh (so you wanna be a star, star) You wanna be, you wanna be (never, never, never) You wanna be, oh, oh, oh (you say you wanna be a star, star) You wanna be, wanna be (never, never, never) Wanna be a star, star, star, star Oh, oh
