Lauryn Hill Lyrics
"Superstar"
Come
on baby, light my fire
Everything you drop is so tired
Music is supposed
to inspire
How come we ain't getting no higher?
Now tell me your philosophy
On
exactly what an artist should be
Should they be someone with prosperity
And
no concept of reality?
Now, who you know without any flaws
That lives above
the spiritual laws
And does anything they feel just because
There's always
someone there who'll applaud
Come on baby, light
my fire
Everything you drop is so tired
Music is supposed to inspire
How
come we ain't getting no higher?
I know you think that you've got it all
And
by making other people feel small
Makes you think you're unable to fall
And
when you do, who you gonna call?
See, what you give is just what you get
I
know it hasn't hit you yet
Now I don't mean to get you upset
But every cause
has an effect
Come on baby, light my fire
Everything
you drop is so tired
Music is supposed to inspire
So, how come we're not
getting no higher?
I cross sands in distant lands, made plans with the sheiks
Why
you beef with freaks as my album sales peak?
All I wanted was to sell like
500
And be a ghetto superstar since my first album, Blunted
I used to work
at Foot Locker, they fired me and fronted
Or I quitted, now I spit it - however
do you want it?
Now you get it!
Writing rhymes my range with the frames
slightly tinted
Then send it to your block and have my full name cemented
And
if your rhymes sound like mine, I'm taking a percentage
Unprecedented and still
respected when it vintage
I'm serious, I'm taking over areas in Aquarius
Running
red lights with my 10,000 chariots
Just as Christ was a superstar, you stupid
star
They'll hail you then they'll nail you, no matter who you are
They'll
make you now then take you down
And make you face it, if you slit the bag open
and
put your pinky in it, then taste it
Come on baby,
light my fire
Everything you drop is so tired
Music is supposed to inspire
So,
how come we ain't getting no higher
[repeat to end]
