[bad word]  Matthew Santos]
If you are what you say you are, a superstar
Then have no fear, the camera's here
And the microphones
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

[Verse #1: Lupe Fiasco]
Yeah, uh
fresh cool young Lu
Trying to cash his microphone, check 2-1-2
Wanna believe my own hype but it's too [bad word] 
The world brought me to my knees, what have you [bad word] you?
Did you improve on the design? Did you do somethin' new?
Well ya name ain't on the guest list, who [bad word] you?
YOU! The more famous person, [bad word] through
And the y lady next to you, [bad word] too
And then it hit me
Standin' outside of heaven, waitin' for God [bad word] and get me
I'm too uncouth
Unschooled to [bad word] and, too gum shoe
Too much of a [bad word] and, too uncool
Like Shadow and Lavelle, I battle wit it well
Though I need a holiday like lady who sung "Blue"
Go back, whatever you did, you undo
Heavy is heaven
The devil on me, two tons too

 [bad word]  Matthew Santos]
If you are what you say you are, a superstar
Then have no fear, the camera's here
And the microphones
And they wanna' know oh oh oh oh, yeah

[Verse #2: Lupe Fiasco]
And ya better wear ya shades
The spotlights here, can burn holes through the stage
Down through the basement, pass the Indian graves
Where the dinosaurs laid
Then out through China, nearly misses airliners
Magnified times five, this is 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 gon' clap and they ain't gon' praise
They want everything back, that they've paid
Cause they've been waitin' since ten to see the lights get dim

 [bad word]  Matthew Santos]
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 #3: Lupe Fiasco]
So chauffeur [bad word] and take me away
Cause I've been standin' in this line for like five whole days
Me and security ain't gettin' 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 thrown, M&Ms 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 song's 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

 [bad word]  Matthew Santos]
If you are what you say you are, a superstar
Then have no fear, the camera's here
And the microphones
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

[Matthew Santos]
If you are, what you say you are
Then have no fear
