Everybody wants to be a superstar
They wanna roll in a nice big flashy car
26 inch rims ain't enough for them
[Verse 1]
Everybody wants to be a superstar
They wanna roll in a nice big flashy car
Yeah I know you heard that line before
And you gon' hear it ten more before this song is through
I know a lot of y'all wanna do it big
Get the money, get the cars, get the girls, get the bling
And it's the be-all-end-all to get a diamond ring
You think to be a superstar you gotta get all these things
To be a superstar you gotta roll in the Benz
So you can look all slick when they flashin' the lens
And cats can catch you on the court hoopin' it up with your friends
'Cause you have dreams of blowing up before your youthfulness ends
You want the life of the rich will all the fashion and the mansion
Live in Beverly Hills, finna get that check so you can cash it
No more worrying about the next bill that's coming in
You can be a superstar and be getting it in
[Hook]
Everybody wants to be a superstar
They wanna roll in a nice big flashy car
26 inch rims ain't enough for them
[Verse 2]
You think to be a superstar you gotta be the best rapper
But you know a lotta cats that've got that dream and so you workin' hard at it
50 Cent was your model, Lil Wayne was your idol
2Pac got your respect and Dr. Dre was vital
For you to learn to spit flow, so you hearin' their lyrics
And how they talk about all they got is going deep in your spirit
They tell you life ain't worth livin' for if it ain't high on the hog
Stuff is rolling through your mind, call it a mental fog
And so you spit about the money even though you ain't rich
And so you spit about the honeys even though they don't like you a bit
'Cause you was stuck up, tryin' actin' all big
People hated your guts, but you ain't cared one bit
See that's the problem with the rappers that you listenin' to
'Cause all they spit about is themselves every time they get in the booth
And that's crazy, you think you really that hard?
Just try dying in the ground, then get back where you are
[Hook]
Everybody wants to be a superstar
They wanna roll in a nice big flashy car
26 inch rims ain't enough for them
[Verse 3]
You wanna know a real superstar? Just look at Jesus Christ
Crucified and three days later he came back to life
He coulda came in chariots of fire with angels blasting the horns
Instead he came on down to rock the crown twisted in thorns
He coulda been born like a king with crowds lined up to see him
Instead he was born with only animals and shepherds to see him
He coulda came with power and might, and wiped out the Romans
Instead he chose to get dirty and be the lowest of servants
He coulda came loud and proud, after all he was God
Instead he chose to get down, wipe our feet off the ground
He coulda called down angels from heaven while he was up on the Cross
Instead he chose the cruelest punishment to save all the lost
And now you ask me, "how is that a superstar
When he ain't even got no fans or a flashy car?"
But tell me who else you know that can go die and come back?
And if he can be humble, then ain't no reason we can't
Now run it back
[Hook]
Everybody wants to be a superstar
