Yo, we are no superstars

Who wanna be large and forget who we are

Don't judge us by bank accounts and big cars

No matter how bright we shine, we're far from being stars

'Cause stars fall, and disintegrate

Before they hit the asphalt – they incinerate

'Cause we came not to destroy the law but to fulfill

For those who appreciate those with skills

And fresh windmills, and graff that kills

What is a DJ without the scratch to build?

Without the elements, it's all irrelevant

**** love to Freestyle but hate to Fellowship

Yeah, taste the city's agenda, most of you outta town ****

Get caught up and turn bitter, the city of bullshitters

Where hopes are blown, not even money for the phone

Now tell me what's the solution, how to get back home?

Yo, don't get caught up in glamor and glitz and camera tricks

The Land of the Debt, before you come examine your set

Where drama collects and women use special effects

Where amateur stunts can make a **** damage your fronts

Uh, the California Sunkist with a twist of limelight

Some set trip on the Sunset Strip

Believe the Hyde Boulevard nice, the glamorous life

Many searching for the fame but can't afford the price

She would turn you out if you wasn't prepared

She would tell you the things you wanted to hear

She would blur your vision when it once was clear

This chick is full of tricks so approach with fear, 'cause

We are no superstars

Who wanna be large and forget who we are

Don't judge us by bank accounts and big cars

No matter how bright we shine we're far from being stars

You say you love L.A., you say the weather is great

Plenty sun in your face, you like the cars with bass

You like the way we paperchase and the women that shake

In the land of earthquakes and high crime rates

A lot of people are fake, this is Hollywood

We shape the minds of kids in every hood

We make your past situation look good

The nights filled with Suge's and I-wish-you-would's

You can dance with Alvin Ailey and Les Miserables

In the Century City, you can walk on the stars

Sex, money, and murder – yeah, it's all fortified

'Cause fame and passerbys want the name immortalized

On the avenue of stars, many names are called

On the boulevard, known for leaving permanent scars

Many dreams get robbed, real movie macabre

Young heartthrobs get young heart sobs, 'cause

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen

And welcome to Hollywood, California!" {*crowd applause*

The City of Angels' wings represents people's hopes and dreams

And the evil that men do to live life close to kings

And boast supreme, fancy cars, coats, and cream

Material things provoke more folks to scheme

But if you paid, you floss; Cali green made you cough

The smog covers the city like a table cloth

Is it fame at fault? Entertainers labeled soft

The place where people come to lose their train of thought

Despite the claims of what L.A. is and what it ain't

The picture the city paints that over-exaggerate

Within the circus, if you're feeling it's served its purpose

Or feeling it ain't worth it, the city that's got you nervous

Then make your Hijrah, and get up out of here, ****

'Cause LA never considered for those that need babysitters

This is the hot bed for singles and newlyweds

Some looking for better gigs or fiending to make it big

It's the only place where stars are born

And we are the only ones that can't be worn

Out, by any place, regardless of the cost

'Cause brothers with big dreams, sometimes they get LAUSD 'cause

We are no superstars

Who wanna be large and forget who we are

Don't judge us by bank accounts and big cars

No matter how bright we shine, we're far from being stars

'Cause stars fall, and disintegrate

Before they hit the asphalt – they incinerate

'Cause we came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill

For those who appreciate those with skills

And {*sound of shoes squeaking*} and {*spray can sounds*}

What is a DJ without the {*scratching*}

Without the elements, it's all irrelevant

"I represent the real, from the beginning to the end of it"

"To the end of it..." "To the end of it..."
