Showbiz

Yeah

I knew I was him by the time that I turned four

This is what I was probably put on Planet Earth for

This is an example of what to work for

This is what Suzanne Olmsted 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, Sean Carter too (Hello)

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 brain fissures will

Hide what I can, if you don't ask me, I won't tell

"You're a superstar, G, we see you livin' well"

But how do I get by? The substances that I inhale

Deep down, I'm terrified that one day I could fail

The drugs pure, the lights blur, 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 it catch, it's time to move on

They love you today, they move on tomorrow

They must be living on time I borrow

I swear it's a fucked-up, inauthentic, ungrateful, "What have you done lately?"

Are you sure you wanna be in showbiz?

Are you really sure you wanna be in showbiz? Uh

So you wanna be a rock superstar? Live large?

Big house, five cars, you're in charge

Coming up in a world, don't trust nobody

Gotta look over your shoulder constantly

To be a rock superstar, live large

Big house, five cars, you're in charge

Coming up in a world, don't trust nobody

Gotta look over your shoulder constantly

Oh, my God

We winning

Never a dull moment

And now we back, back, back, back, back

Are you really sure you wanna be in showbiz?
