Rock Star

from How I Feel: The EP by Zuby

lyrics

Let’s take it to rock star status baby. Singing ‘when I grow up I just wanna be a rock star!’

CHORUS

When I came into the world I was sweeter than a Pop Tart just a little boy didn’t care about a pop chart/ Said my first word then I kissed my first girl singing, ‘when I grow up I just wanna be a rock star!’/ Came into the game and they said I’m going not far now I’m on the stage and they scream like I’m a pop star/ I don’t really care long as people now I’m here/ when I grow up I just wanna be a rock star!

Here’s my new year’s resolution hit em with the best vox (yup) vivid high resolution graphical like Xbox (what)/ so just try and ignore me I’ve got patience [patients] like a medic it’s a metaphoric orgy so you all can fricking get it (ha ha)/ attack a track with flack, vocal ammo’s stored there lines refined within my mind it’s like guerrilla warfare/ I know I’m rhyming heat the mic is basically smoking (uh huh) no longer riding beats now we’re practically eloping (uh huh)/ no need to have a ruger lyrically I’m blessed like Judah and you ‘gainst ‘The Total Package’ like you’re flexing with the Luger and I’m talking ‘bout the Lex/ I ain’t talking ‘bout the shooter cuz I don’t respect the tec respect the knowledge like a tutor (chyea!)/ when people crowd around him I astound them with a free they too dumbfound to make a sound so they just nod like Mini Me/ and my sound is in surround vision dynamic to a T so you can see the bigger picture like a panoramic screen.

CHORUS

What I write is like a vice to crush your head like in ‘Casino’ (yup), you acting I direct the flick like Quentin Tarantino (yup)/ so when you feel the pressure, remember you’re an extra I’m the star in my own movie I don’t do this at my leisure (never)/ I can’t afford to tire stay compulsive like a liar I could burn you like a pyro (woo!) I love to play with fire leave you singing like a choir louder than an amplifier (ha)/ extra tender crispy like they flipped you out the fryer (chyeeea!)/ verses cut through chords stop your flow like a vasectomy, students of my board don’t even dream you could be testing me (no)/ sit back and can it or I’ll put you in detention, the measure of my talent is beyond your comprehension/ average means obscurity that’s something that I overstand and averageness is poor to me I’m comfortable with bigger plans/ if average is maturity then give me Never Never Land cuz averageness is boring me and Zuby is a winner man.

CHORUS

The norm is to conform and live your life without a risk and so my mind is always torn between a nine-to-five and this/ I’m a natural performer all I do is think of hits, music’s not an easy earner but the glamour and the glitz (what?)/ can make you think that famous is the only thing to be so we strive not to be nameless we all want celebrity/ all we see is big money, big stacks, big jewels, mad honeys, big plaques, big tracks, big crews (chyea!)/ that’s how you want to rock it so you’re glancing in amazement dreams of dancing on red carpet while you’re prancing on the pavement/ and we all love attention but what’s really fascinating is the length that some will go through and that’s simply to obtain it/ stay focused on my dream and too articulate to mumble (yeahhh), too modest to be arrogant too cocky to be humble (yeahhh)/ a different breed of artist I’m the smartest of my pedigree regardless go the farthest that it’s meant to be eventually (chyeeea!).

CHORUS

Bad Man…rock on baby/ O.X… rock on baby/ London…rock on baby/ B-town… rock on baby/ K.S.A… rock on baby/ Naija… rock on baby/ Worldwide…rock on baby, rock on baby, rock on baby.
