Showbiz

Yeah
I knew I was hit by the time that I turned four
This is what I was probably put on planet Earth for
Yeah
This is an example of what to work for
Ah
This is what Suzanne Oster gave birth for
This is what I put my heart into
Raised by Lil Wayne playing Carter II
And some Beatles and some Dylan and some 40 and some
Pac and some Amy and some Nina, Shawn Carter too
You know?
Come on
It ain't hard to tell
They say good intentions pave the pathway to hell
Somewhere along the road, I guess I got a bit derailed
The pressure got heavier than Brendan Fraser's will
Hide what I can
If you don't ask me, I won't tell
You're a super star, G
We see you living well
But how do I get by with the substances that I inhale?
Deep down, I'm terrified that one day I could fail
Yeah
The drug's pure
The line's blurred
The hype dies
The crowd moves
That's just facts, it's not lies
Nothing stays in one place for too long
By the time they catch us, time to move on
Yeah
They love you today, and move on tomorrow
I must be living on time I borrow
I swear this is a fucked up, inauthentic
Ungrateful, "What have you done lately?" atmosphere
Are you really sure you want to be in showbiz?
Are you really sure you want to be in showbiz?
I don't care
So you want to be a rock super star?
Live large, big house, five cars, you're in charge
Coming up in world, don't trust nobody
Got to look over your shoulder constantly to be a rock super star
Live large, big house, five cars, you're in charge
Coming up in world, don't trust nobody
Got to look over your shoulder constantly
Oh my God
We went, we went over
And now he's back on that motherfucking beat
Are you really sure you want to be in showbiz?
