B-Real - Rap Superstar lyrics

(Eminem Speaking) Most people don't see how much work is really involved In this rap sh** I didn't know it I didn't see it I never saw it until I was actually in it You really gotta be in it To understand what its like But you always gotta People always gotta see your smile You always gotta put on that fake You know what I'm sayin No matter what you just been through (B-Real) So you wanna be a rap superstar And live large a big house 5 cars, you're in charge Comin up in the world Don't trust nobody Gotta look over your shoulder constantly (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 wit the honies Sign autographs and whatever the people want from me sh**s funny How impossible dreams manifest and the games that be comin with it Never the less you gotta go for the gusto But you don't know about the blood sweat and tears And losin some of your peers And losin some of your self Through the years past gone by Hopefully it don't manifest for the wrong guy Egomaniac in the brainiac Don't know how to act sh**s deep 48 tracks Studio gangsta mack Signs a deal, thinks he's gonna make a mil But never will Till he crosses over still Feelin no hate But fantasies come wit these Shows the sacrifice it takes to make the G's You wanna be a rap superstar in the biz? And take sh** 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 to play Trapped in what you rappin about Tell me what happened when you lost clout The route you took started collapsing No fans No fame No respect No change No women And everyone sh**s on your name (Chorus) So you wanna be a rap superstar And live large A big house 5 cars You're in charge Comin up in the world don't trust nobody Gotta look over your shoulder constantly To be a rap superstar And live large A big house 5 cars You're in charge Comin up in the world don't trust nobody Gotta look over your shoulder constantly (Noreaga Speaking) When you sign to a record label You don't know you sign your life over And these white boys don't care about you 'Cuz the minute you fall off They'll find another Noreaga And they'll find another Capone-n-Noreaga And they'll find another B-Real So you need to just keep Stack your chips up Do what you gotta do while your hot And mo'f**in get out the game Stick to the drug game And it's even worse than the the drug game Because if someone jerks you You can shoot em and k** em But in this game if someone jerks you You gotta be humble (Eminem Speaking) No matter what you just been through sh** has gotta be right You gotta approach people You gotta be on the up and up And everything gotta be all good When you see someone slap hands with em You know what I'm sayin' give em a pound Or whatever it is But you always gotta act like it ain't sh** (Chorus) (B-Real) My own son don't know me Sittin up in the hotel room lonely But I thank God I'm wit my homies But sometimes I wish I was back home But only no radio or videos Cuz they 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 Your crew worried about them honies at the Paladium Who just wanna cling on and swing on And so on and go on and fall off The hoes fall off To the next rap superstar Wit no shame give him a year And they'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 cheesey They talkin evil (Chorus)
