A Star Is Born

Radio speaker : Yeah baby, it's Phil ? live at Night Talk

we're talkin' about musical genius R.A. The Rugged Man

let's take some calls, find out what you guys think

# 1 Caller: Yo, R' s definitly one of the illest liricist I've ever heard, that's real

# 2 Caller: R.A. man, he's comin' out, guns blazin' baby, BOOM, watch out

# 3 Caller: He's very intelligent, he's a positive model in rap

# 4 Caller: I went to a show last week, he was the bomb... He was better than Michael Jackson

# 5 Caller: He's so sexy, My girl said he has an 11 inch cock, couldn't walk ?

# 6 Caller: Yo R.A. is worldwide man, he's goin platinum, quadruple, and big time

# 7 Caller: First time I saw him, I knew he had a star quality, he's a superstar

[Verse 1]

Ayyo, here's the whole story, the whole true, "He's retarded"

Here's how my whole bullshit career started

Back in '88 it was about battle rappin' and shootin' guns off

at house parties, say "HO" (BANG! BANG!BANG!) ? before rhymin'

No complainin' , no money, no fame, still maintainin'

1991, now my whole career started bustin'

You see in on stage shows, guess the crowd jump in

Let the kids come on

Tommy Boy, Mercury, Priority wanted me

Russell Simmons, and 9 other record companies

Sendin limousines out to pick up my broke ass

Feedin' me stakes, buyin' me hookers, I hope that shit last

I was used to have no cash, I got gats

White trash, why they wanna sign my ass ?

'92 the whole industry was on my dick

I signed to Jive Records, and fucked up the whole shit

[Chorus]

You're a shinin' star

You're a superstar

Ooohhh..

Large star

But you gonna be large

You're a shinin' star

You're a superstar

Ooohhh..

Yeah, right

[Verse 2]

Now I'm stuck on a wack label

They say, "You see the way you behave

Now wonder why the label hate you"

They say "He's a beast, he's a creature

Keep him in the other room, don't let him see Aaliyah"

Banned from the building, I don't wanna see ?

"He just don't know how to play the game right

He could be large than life"

They try to turn the label caucasian

They signed me, Whitey Don and the Insane Clown Posse

And they signed the Backstreet Boys and Britney

It's a pop label, what the fuck they want with me

Forget R. Kelly, I' ma do that rippin' out your cunt shit

I flipped the fuck out and did some dumb shit

? looked at me, I got a gun shit

I ain't gonna give that commercial run hit

Instead I gave your label suck dick

Try to press charges against me

Suited me, blackballed me

My lawyer wouldn't even call me

[Chorus]

You're a shinin' star

You're a superstar

Ooohhh..

Large star

But you gonna be large

You're a shinin' star

You're a superstar

Ooohhh..

Large star

You're a shinin' star

You're a superstar

Ooohhh..

Large star

But you gonna be large

You're a shinin' star

You're a superstar

Ooohhh..

Yeah right

[Verse 3]

'95, I'm broke out the ass, no doe

Watchin' everybody else around me blow

Trackmasters, Mobb Deep, Keith Murray

Biggie and Puff, I'll admit it, I was jealous as fuck

I was so pathetic

No doe under ugly chick

With a no doe fetish, all my old hoes jetted

Went from hearin' "You're a star kid"

To hearin' "He ain't talented, he's garbage"

? shitty ? there's no market

'96, I got a gun now

I remember I was bout to kill Jeff Henster

Moved back in with pop duke

and my handicapped brothers and sisters, and we had no loot

That's when the Feds came by

And surrounded the house

They had automatic weapons, and was pullin' em out

And the moral of the story is

all that glamour and glitz shit (what?)

Fuck that shit, I don't need it

[Chorus]

You're a shinin' star

You're a superstar

Ooohhh..

Large star

But you gonna be large

You're a shinin' star

You're a superstar

Ooohhh..

Yeah right
