[Intro:]

Ohhhh, ohhhhh (so you wanna be a star, star)

Ohhhh, ohhh (never, never, never)

Ohhhh, ohhhhh (you say you wanna be a star, star)

Ohhhh, ohh, ohhh (never, never, never)

[Chorus:]

I think you're gonna have to find who you are

Can't find your, lane but you wanna be a star

A star, do you wanna be a star?

Can't find your, lane but you wanna be, wanna be a star

[Krayzie Bone]

I know the grind, she tryin to be a star, she goin hard

Doin a hundred in the car but never could make it out the yard

Cause you're stalled; how, when you can't even get it started?

It's probably cause you too naughty to get up in the party

She wanna make it so she'll sleep with him, late night creep with him

He'll tell her he can make her famous if she did him

Suck him lick him, another victim of a "bust and ditch 'em"

Why must you suffer this when really love, what's the mission?

Because you still live in your daddy and your momma house

Shoulda knew homie was not about to go the dumber route

Left you with a lot of doubt, kinda like in a drought

Got no mo' integrity, slow flow, what you tellin me?

There's jealousy goin on, all because she wanna make it famous

and sip champagne with the greatest

So you wanna be a star, the ride you'll take is evident

You'll never get ahead so it's irrelevent (relevent)

[Chorus:]

I think you're gonna have to find who you are

Can't find your, lane but you wanna be a star

A star, do you wanna be a star?

Can't find your, lane but you wanna be, wanna be a star

[Wish Bone]

Baby girl can sing, she thick, man I think she got it

But they tellin me to watch her, call her baby pockets

So I bring it to her straight, to a real knight

She got herself on protection, we all good all night

She said they only wanna cut, bustas never business

Sometimes she wishes but uhh, maybe then they'll listen

Dirty game, I feel the same

And do I think her career woulda jumped if she just laid down

A tear in her eye, baby don't cry

And then she told me all about her church background

And how she lovin this life, livin this life

Now I think I'm dealin with a headcase

Any heart put it all in, tell yo'self it's a must-win

Apply pressure never give up, laugh in the end then fuck 'em

Stay on yo' paper nigga straight face, attitude nigga pay me

Still wanna be a star, huh, huh? Reach hard!

[Chorus:]

I think you're gonna have to find who you are

Can't find your, lane but you wanna be a star

A star, do you wanna be a star?

Can't find your, lane but you wanna be, wanna be a star

[Flesh-N-Bone]

Hear you wanna be a star, huh?

Think you got what it take to make it large, huh?

Don't even know who you are, huh?

You say you wanted to learn it, huh? You say everybody feelin you

"Flesh I hear 'em" - what a wonderful tinglin feel in you

How straight are your priorities? So the story goes

Chasin dreams, all they tellin them is sacrifice they souls

You really listenin? Learn a lesson from these bro's

Playin the game it's heavy heatin up and down that road

[Layzie Bone]

They say the boy got talent but he can't catch a break

He doin everything he can but he makin mistakes

Plus he runnin with the crowd cause he wanna be seen

Got the tendency to follow instead of takin the lead

We in the league of extraordinary gentlemen check

And if you wanna play the game you got to give 'em the step

Make no impression with expression but you gotta be focused

They don't pick you for the team just because you the dopest

Too many niggaz got the game twisted lookin for fame

instead of lovin what they do, and makin a name

It's a shame how they idolize the idiot box

Feel the pain in television, the deception and shock

And when they finally figure out it ain't about what they seein

Take the money and the toys, niggaz still human beings

All of that ain't jack if you ain't got the respect

Cause a real superstar know how to double them checks, yep

[Chorus:]

I think you're gonna have to find who you are

Can't find your, lane but you wanna be a star

A star, do you wanna be a star?

Can't find your, lane but you wanna be, wanna be a star

[Bizzy Bone]

I see women givin they bodies like David Letterman love you

Strugglin in the hustle, slangin tapes on the internet avenue

get you capitol shit, know how the ratchet do

Sorry I was late to tell you exactly what masters do

You don't have to sell your soul, no not anymore

Parker Brothers, Ouija board, I covered that Adam whore

Niggaz get their labels but wait, it's a recession in weight

You downloadin on all the industry's veterans

Been a star but bein a star don't pay the bills

Know 'bout the spinnin wheels, baby Bizzy keep it real

Don't open battle seals, no matter who you are

Now get your money, only Jesus can make you a star

[Chorus:]

I think you're gonna have to find who you are

Can't find your, lane but you wanna be a star

A star, do you wanna be a star?

Can't find your, lane but you wanna be, wanna be a star

[Outro:]

Ohhhh, ooh, ohhhh (so you wanna be a star, star)

You wanna be, you wanna be (never, never, never)

You wanna be, ohhhhh, ohh, ohhhhh (you say you wanna be a star, star)

You wanna be, wanna be (never, never, never)

Wanna be a star, star, star, star

Ohhh, ohhh
