Album: Lupe Fiasco's the Cool

tabbed by: qweyet Gi

Note: The B minor isn't what you'd call that chord on the guitar, but

I know on the piano, the keys build a B minor chord.

Leave your criticisms.

Intro:

If you are what you say you are, a superstar

Then have no fear, the crowd is here

And the lights are on

And they wanna show oh oh oh oh, yeah

Verse 1:

Yeah, uh

A fresh cool young Lu'

Tryna' catch his microphone check 2, 1, 2

Wanna' believe my own hype but it's too untrue

The world brought me to my knees, what have you brung you?

Did you improve on the design? Did you do somethin' new?

Well ya' name ain't on the guest list, who brung you?

YOU! The more famous person you come through

And the sexy lady next to you, you come too

And then it hit me

Standin' outside of heaven waitin' for god to come and get me

I'm too uncouth

Unschooled to the rules and too gum shoe

Too much of a new comer and too un-cool

Like Shadow and Lavelle, I battle wit' it well

Tho I need holiday like lady who sung "Blue"

Go back, whatever you did you undo

Heavy as heaven

The devil on me, two ton's too

Chorus:

If you are what you say you are, a superstar

Then have no fear, the camera's is here

And the microphone's

And they wanna' know oh oh oh oh, yeah

Verse 2:

And ya' better wear ya' shaaades

The spotlights here can burn holes through the staaage

Down to the basement pass the Indian graves

Where the dinosaurs laid

Then out through shinin', nearly miss the airliners

Magnified times five, 'less its pointed at the ryhmer

Ricochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaaaze

Now that's important to say

'Cause even with all that most of us don't want it to faaade

We want it to braid, meaning we want it to grow

Meaning we want it to staaay

Like the governor called and he told him to waaait

Un-strap him from the chair and put him back in his caaage

The audience ain't phased

And they ain't gon' clap and they ain't gon' praise

They want everything back that they've paid

'Cause they've been waitin' since ten to see the lights get dim

Verse 3:

So chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away

'Cause I've been standin' in this line for like five whole days

Me and security ain't getting' along

And when I got to the front, they told me all of the tickets were gone

So just take me home where the mood is mellow

And the roses are grown, M&Ms are yellow

And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker

Everybody gets a nice autograph picture

One for you and one for your sister

Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener

Every songs her favorite song and mics don't feedback

All the reviewers say "You need to go and see that"

And everybody claps 'cause everybody is pleased

And then they all take the stage and start performin' for me

Like, ha ha ha ha ha

Ha ha ha ha ha, ha
