You ain't gotta see me I ain't in your real world I'm only on your T.V. I ain't in a Bentley I'm only in a T.T. I don't ring your girl but she holla's on a B.B. Living like a rockstar born in tha 80's Certified I top charts I ain't doing maybes That's why I be asking em how we looking lately Cause they never answered I'm taking it as flee g, flee, yea Now I'm heavy round an Atlas Good CV but I'm looking for a night shift That's when a real star shines bright I done told them I'm looking for a hat trick Three gang stryder, and I'm more famous Even my ex girlfriends little niece knows what my name is Different level different stages In the hood I'm on an a-list. [Chorus]
