Lauryn Hill - Superstar Lyrics
Come on baby, light my fireEverything you drop is so tiredMusic is supposed to inspireHow come we aint getting no higher?Now tell me your philosophyOn exactly what an artist should beShould they be someone with prosperityAnd no concept of reality?Now, who you know without any flawsThat lives above the spiritual lawsAnd does anything they feel just becauseTheres always someone there wholl applaudCome on baby, light my fireEverything you drop is so tiredMusic is supposed to inspireHow come we aint getting no higher?I know you think that youve got it allAnd by making other people feel smallMakes you think youre unable to fallAnd when you do, who you gonna call?See, what you give is just what you getI know it hasnt hit you yetNow I dont mean to get you upsetBut every cause has an effectCome on baby, light my fireEverything you drop is so tiredMusic is supposed to inspireSo, how come were not getting no higher?I cross sands in distant lands, made plans with the sheiksWhy you beef with freaks as my album sales peak?All I wanted was to sell like 500And be a ghetto superstar since my first album, bluntedI used to work at foot locker, they fired me and frontedOr I quitted, now I spit it - however do you want it?Now you get it!Writing rhymes my range with the frames slightly tintedThen send it to your block and have my full name cementedAnd if your rhymes sound like mine, Im taking a percentageUnprecedented and still respected when it vintageIm serious, Im taking over areas in aquariusRunning red lights with my 10,000 chariotsJust as christ was a superstar, you stupid starTheyll hail you then theyll nail you, no matter who you areTheyll make you now then take you downAnd make you face it, if you slit the bag openAnd put your pinky in it, then taste itCome on baby, light my fireEverything you drop is so tiredMusic is supposed to inspireSo, how come we aint getting no higher(repeat to end)
