[Hidden track][Hidden track]

Hate when they call me a superstarHate when they call me superstar
Do I look like a superstar?Do I look like a superstar?
Yet so far away and out of reachYet unreachable and very far
Ever notice I'm right here with you all?Ever noticed I'm right here wit ya'll?
I cover my face becauseI cover my face because
They don’t need to seeThey do not need to see
I ain't no gangster or no thugI ain't no gangsta or no thug
I'm just being meI am just being me
The world reeks of dramaThe world smells of drama
So I cover up my noseSo I cover up my nose
Faces like film left out too long, get overexposedThe faces like film leavin' out too long, gets overexposed
Getting praised by magazinesGetting praised by magazines
From the girls in my clothesFrom the girlfriends in my clothes
I hope they still love me when I pull away 'cause I'm scared to blowI hope they still love me when I shun away 'cuz I am afraid to blow
