    [Chorus (Matthew Santos):]
    If you are what you say you are, a superstar
    Then have no fear, the camera is here
    And the microphones
    And they wanna know oh oh oh oh (the return)
    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 wanna show oh oh oh oh, yeah

    [Verse 1 -- Lupe Fiasco]
    Yeah, uh
    A fresh cool young Lu'
    Tryna catch his microphone check 2, 1, 2
    Wanna believe my own hype but it's too untrue
    The world brought me to my knees, what have you bring you?
    Did you improve on the design? Did you do somethin' new?
    Well your name ain't on the guest list, who bring you?
    You! The more famous person you come through
    And the sexy lady next to you, you come too
    And then it hit me
    Standin' outside of heaven waitin' for god to come and get me
    I'm too uncouth
    Unschooled to the rules and too gum shoe
    Too much of a new comer and too un-cool
    Like Shadow and Lavelle, I battle with it well
    Tho I need holiday like lady who sung "Blue"
    Go back, whatever you did you undo
    Heavy as heaven
    The devil on me, two ton's too

    [Chorus (Matthew Santos):]
    If you are what you say you are, a superstar
    Then have no fear, the camera is here
    And the microphones
    And they wanna' know oh oh oh oh, yeah

    [Verse 2 -- Lupe Fiasco]
    And you better wear your shades
    The spotlights here can burn holes through the stage
    Down to the basement pass the Indian graves
    Where the dinosaurs laid
    Then out through China, nearly miss the airliners
    Magnified times five, 'less it's pointed at the rhymer
    Ricochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaze
    Now that's important to say
    'cause even with all that most of us don't want it to fade
    We want it to braid, meaning we want it to grow
    Meaning we want it to stay
    Like the Governor called and he told him to Wait
    Un-strap him from the chair and put him back in his Cage
    The audience ain't fazed
    And they ain't gonna clap and they ain't gonna praise
    They want everything back that they've paid
    'cause they've been waitin' since ten to see the lights get dim

    [Chorus (Matthew Santos)]

    [Verse 3 -- Lupe Fiasco]
    So chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away
    'cause I've been standin' in this line for like five whole days
    Me and security ain't getting' along
    And when I got to the front, they told me all of the tickets were gone
    So just take me home where the mood is mellow
    And the roses are grown, M&M's are yellow
    And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker
    Everybody gets a nice autograph picture
    One for you and one for your sister
    Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener
    Every songs her favorite song and mics don't feedback
    All the reviewers say "You need to go and see that"
    And everybody claps 'cause everybody is pleased
    And then they all take the stage and start performin' for me
    Like, ha ha ha ha ha
    Ha ha ha ha ha, ha

    [Chorus (Matthew Santos):]
    If you are what you say you are, a superstar
    Then have no fear, the camera's is here
    And the microphone's
    And they wanna know oh oh oh oh
    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 wanna show oh oh oh oh, yeah

    If you are, what you say you are
    Then have no fear.

    One of the actual 'rap' songs I like.

    I usually hate rap but for some reason I didn't really mind that
