Everybody wants to be a superstar They wanna roll in a nice big flashy car 26 inch rims ain't enough for them 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 Everybody wants to be a superstar They wanna roll in a nice big flashy car 26 inch rims ain't enough for them 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 Everybody wants to be a superstar They wanna roll in a nice big flashy car 26 inch rims ain't enough for them 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 Everybody wants to be a superstar They wanna roll in a nice big flashy car 26 inch rims ain't enough for them
