"Do you really have the stamina? |
|
For everybody that sees you that say, 'Where's my camera?' |
|
For everybody that sees you, and say, 'Sign an autograph' |
|
For everybody that sees you cry, and say, 'You oughta laugh' |
|
You oughta laugh!" |
|
[Chorus: Kanye West sample] + (B.o.B) |
|
"Do you really have the stamina?" |
|
(Do you have the stamina) |
|
"For everybody that sees you that say, "Where's my camera?'" |
|
(Where's my camera) |
|
"For everybody that sees you, to say, "Sign an autograph" |
|
(Sign an autograph) |
|
"For everybody that sees you cry, and say, "You oughta laugh" |
|
(Say you oughta laugh) "You oughta laugh!" |
|
[Verse One]: |
|
Well, posing for pictures and living on a poster |
|
The hardest thing for me is to keep my composure |
|
I ain't always happy, and I ain't always sad |
|
But when the spotlight is on, you have to handle the task |
|
And even the people that swear they love so bad |
|
Will go and put your dirty laundry on the cover of mags |
|
And then everyone sees it and gets a good laugh |
|
And now, your whole persona is just a thing of the past |
|
Now, when people see they ignore all the pain |
|
They only think about the rumors and the mistakes you made |
|
So that's why I don't read all the comments on the blogs |
|
Everybody's a fan if you boo me or applaud |
|
Now give me your energy, even if you're my enemy |
|
Or trying to be friends with me, aggressively or timidly |
|
Put my next to anyone in this industry |
|
You still will never find someone that's in my league |
|
[Chorus: Kanye West sample] + (B.o.B) |
|
"Do you really have the stamina?" |
|
(Do you have the stamina) |
|
"For everybody that sees you that say, "Where's my camera?'" |
|
(Where's my camera) |
|
"For everybody that sees you, to say, "Sign an autograph" |
|
(Sign an autograph) |
|
"For everybody that sees you cry, and say, "You oughta laugh" |
|
(Say you oughta laugh) "You oughta laugh!" |
|
[Verse Two]: |
|
Celebrity this, celebrity that |
|
Reality television fiends addicted like crack and smack |
|
My business is rap, and my business is politicking with dat |
|
And then my business is put on the map |
|
Yeah, the bigger I get, the better the hat |
|
The better the slacks, the better the shirts, the more I adapt |
|
The more you start to pay attention to my sentences |
|
The more you'll realize why I am lyricist |
|
And why I sacrifice my time for this experience |
|
And why my album still isn't in your speakers yet |
|
You think you know me now, but you ain't even seen me yet |
|
Well, except maybe on your TV set |
|
Bring the bridge |
| [35 second Instrumental Break] |
|
|
{*Scratched: "Bring the bridge"*} |
|
[Chorus: Kanye West sample] + (B.o.B) |
|
"Do you really have the stamina?" |
|
(Do you have the stamina) |
|
"For everybody that sees you that say, "Where's my camera?'" |
|
(Where's my camera) |
|
"For everybody that sees you, to say, "Sign an autograph" |
|
(Sign an autograph) |
|
"For everybody that sees you cry, and say, "You oughta laugh" |
|
(Say you oughta laugh) "You oughta laugh!" |
