"Showbiz" lyrics

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?
Are you really sure you wanna be in showbiz?
