Superstar - Lauryn Hill [Intro] Yo, hip hop Started out in the heart, uh huh Yo, now everybody trying to chart Say what? Yo, hip hop Started out in the heart Yo, now everybody trying to chart Come on now baby Come on now baby Come on now baby Come on Come on now baby Come on now baby Come on now baby Come on
1 - Come on baby, light my fire Everything you drop is so tired Music is supposed to inspire How come we ainâ??t getting no higher?
Now tell me your philosophy On exactly what an artist should be Should they be someone with prosperity And no concept of reality? Now, who you know without any flaws That lives above the spiritual laws And does anything they feel just because Thereâ??s always someone there whoâ??ll applaud
Repeat 1
I know you think that youâ??ve got it all And by making other people feel small Makes you think youâ??re unable to fall But when you do, who you gonna call? See, what you give is just what you get I know it hasnâ??t hit you yet Now I donâ??t mean to get you upset But every cause has an effect, oh
Repeat 1
I cross sands in distant lands, make plans with the sheiks Why you beef with freaks as my album sales peak? All I wanted was to sell like 500 And be a ghetto superstar since my first album, Blunted I used to work at Foot Locker, they fired me and fronted Or I quitted, now I spit it- however do you want it? Now you get it Writing rhymes in the range with the frames lightly tinted Then send it to your block and have my full name cemented And if your lines sound like mine, Iâ??m taking a percentage Unprecedented and still respected it when it vintage Iâ??m serious, Iâ??m taking over areas in Aquarius Running red lights with my 10,000 chariots Just as Christ was a superstar, you stupid star Theyâ??ll hail you then theyâ??ll nail you, no matter who you are Theyâ??ll make you now then take you down And make you face it, you slit the bag open Put your pinkie in it, then taste it
Repeat 1 until fade
