They say that I'm dangerous Like everything I touch falls apart If I were to tell, they'll kill me now Well imma cut to the chase I used to wish on a star but nowadays I need space: satellites See the black shades white chain, flashing lights Never thought I could of felt this low in the highlights So I asked Phyllis its still another day in paradise Is the heaven for the forever twenty seven Could it be three years till I'm jammin' with legends? I got thousands of fans, but I don't get the obsession There's a nice guy inside, I guess I've never met him Cause I could buy a fast car but not even an aeroplane can seem to get me out of here The pressure and the stress are both dying to see the end of me And the man in the mirror is looking at me like an enemy Whoa What doesn't kill you makes you stronger every time Naho Don't let em tell you how to live your life, cause They say that I'm dangerous Like everything I touch it falls apart If I were to tell, they'll kill me now Well imma cut to the chase Cause I'm living like a rockstar I ain't afraid the good die young Cause I be living like a rockstar I blow up a million miles away, away, away Oh oh oh oh oh oh Chica bang bang Oh oh oh oh oh oh Chica bang bang Mama always told that there's someone looking over me Think she meant the guy with the camera tryna photo me Be careful what you wish for, cause the truths a little different If the guardian's my angel, why's the sun burning holes in me? They let me loose on the public, but I didn't prepare I get shock by a lens everytime I appear Put a star in the room, I swear it changes the atmosphere Cause I'm a celebrity, can someone get me out of here Whoa What doesn't kill you makes you stronger every time Naho Don't let em tell you how to live your life, cause They say that I'm dangerous Like everything I touch it falls apart (oh like everything I touch it falls apart) If I were to tell, they'll kill me now Well imma cut to the chase Cause I'm living like a rockstar (yes I am!) I ain't afraid the good die young (woah oh oh oh) Cause I be living like a rockstar I blow up a million miles away, away, away Cause I don't care, I don't care Take me there, take me there Na na na I ain't scared, I ain't scared Take me there Well imma cut to the chase cause I be living like a You ain't a legend till your set in stone For now your just flesh and bone Just a little brother tryna build a home I'll be the best till my dying breath: brian jones A wise girl once sung tears dry on their own F*ck a moment of silence in my house We shut the whole shit down for winehouse So I've got something to say Take aim, pull the trigger Cause your never going to blow me away ( away,oh woah) They say that I'm dangerous Like everything I touch it falls apart If I were to tell, they'll kill me now Well imma cut to the chase Cause I'm living like a rockstar I ain't afraid to die young Cause I be living like a rockstar I blow up a million miles away Cause I don't care, I don't care Take me there, take me thaere Na na na I ain't scared, I ain't scared Take me there Well we can cut to the chase cause I'm living like a Cause I'm living like a rockstar! Oh oh oh oh oh oh Chica bang bang Oh oh oh oh oh oh Chica bang bang
