[Eminem Speaking]
  Most people don't see how much work is really involved
  in this rap shit
  I didn't know it
  I didn't see it
  I never saw it until i was actually in it
  You really gotta be in it
  To understand what its like
  But you always gotta
  People always gotta see your smile
  You always gotta put on that fake
  You know what i'm sayin
  No matter what u just been through
    [B-Real]
  So you wanna be a rap superstar
  And live large a big house
  5 cars, you're in charge
  Comin up in the world
  Don't trust nobody
  Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
    [B-Real]
  I remember the days when i was a young kid growin up
  Lookin in the mirror dreamin about blowin up
  To rock crowds make money
  Chill wit the honies
  Sign autographs and whatever the people want from me
  Shits funny
  How impossible cream manifest in the games that be comin with it
  Never the less you gotta go for the gusto
  But you don't know about the blood sweat and tears
  and losin some of your peers
  And losin some of your self
  Music has past gone by
  Hopefully you don't manifest for the wrong guy
  Egomaniac in the brainiac
  Don't know how to act
  Shits deep
  48 tracks
  Studio gangsta mack
  Sign a deal emcees wanna make a mill
  But never will
  Till he crosses over still
  Feelin no hate
  But fantasies come wit these
  Just to sacrifice the taste of makin cheese
  You wanna be a rap superstar in the biz
  And take shit from people who don't know what it is
  I wish it was all fun and games
  But the price of fame is high
  And some can't pay to play
  Trapped in what you rappin about
  Tell me what happened when you lost clout
  The rout you took started collapsing
  No fans
  No fame
  No respect
  No change
  No women
  And everyone shits on your name
    [Chorus]
  So you wanna be a rap superstar
  And live large
  A big house
  5 cars
  The rent charged
  Comin up in the world don't trust nobody
  Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
  To be a rap superstar
  And live large
  A big house
  5 cars
  The rent charged
  Comin up in the world don't trust nobody
  Gotta look over your shoulder constantly
    [Noreaga Speaking]
  When you sign to a record label
  You don't know you sign your life over
  And these whiteboys don't care about you
  Cuz the minute you fall off
  They'll find another Noreaga
  And they'll find another Capone-n-Noreaga
  And they'll find another B-Real
  So you need to just keep
  Stack your chips up
  Do what you gotta do while your hot
  And mafuckin get out the game
  Stick to the drug game
  And the drug game is even worse
  Because if someone jerks you
  You can shoot em and kill me
  But in this game if someone jerks you
  You gotta be humble
    [Eminem Speaking]
  No matter what you just been through
  Shit has gotta be right
  You gotta approach people
  You gotta be on the up and up
  And everything gotta be all good
  When you see someone slap hands with em
  You know what i'm sayin give em a pound
  Or whatever it is
  But you always gotta act like it ain't shit
    [Chorus]
    [B-Real]
  My own son don't know me
  Sittin up in the hotel room lonley
  But I thank god I'm wit my homies
  But sometimes I wish I was back home
  But only no radio or videos
  Cuz they show me no love
  The phony gotta hit the road slowly
  So the record gets pushed by sony
  I'm in the middle like monie
  And the press say that
  My own people disowned me
  And the best way back
  Is to keep your head straight
  Never inflate the cranium
  Your crew worried about them honies at the paladium
  Who just wanna cling on swing on
  And so on and go on and fall off
  The hoes fall off
  To the next rap superstar
  Wit no shame give him a year
  And they'll be right out the game
  The same as the last one
  Who came before him
  Gained fame
  Started gettin ignored
  I warned him
  Assured him
  This ain't easy take it from weezy
  Sleezy people wanna be cheesey
  They talkin evil
    [Chorus]
