Hate when they call me superstar

Do I look like a superstar?
3
Yet unreachable and very far
4
Ever noticed I'm right here wit ya'll?
5
I cover my face because
6
They do not need to see
7
I ain't no gangsta or no thug
8
I am just being me
9
The world smells of drama
10
So I cover up my nose
11
The faces like film leavin' out too long, gets overexposed
12
Getting praised by magazines
13
From the girlfriends in my clothes
14
I hope they still love me when I shun away 'cuz I am afraid to blow

WANT WAR?

[2nd Verse]
25
Now the fear of blowing up
26
Definitely takes it's toll
27
It sends it's demons down to your mind to take control
28
If it thinks it's got my mind
29
Well it better think again
30
I got the pleasure of the piano
31
and this powerful pen
32
But you
33
([Shae:] You!}
34
You want 15 minutes to shine what's your concept?
35
What's so interesting?
36
What's your desire?
37
Soon as you get your cover story
38
And your precious headlines
39
So sorry, so sorry, so sorry
40
They'll just fuck you from behind
41
[Chorus]
42
WANT WAR?

Well!

I don't wanna blow up
51
I'm smiling 'cuz I know
52
All the pieces that make me me
53
Will glisten from my soul
54
My self-esteem is not a fake
55
It comes from within
56
Come and take a picture,
57
I'll sign whatever you want my friend
