Yo, we are no superstars   Who wanna be large and forget who we are   Don't judge us by bank accounts and big cars   No matter how bright we shine we're far from bein' stars      'Cuz stars fall and disintegrate before they hit the   Asphalt, they incinerate 'cuz we came   Not to destroy the law but to fulfill   For those who appreciate those with skills      And fresh windmills and graf that kills   What is a DJ without the scratch to build?   Without the elements, it's all irrelevant   Niggas love to freestyle but hate to fellowship      Yeah, taste the city's agenda, most of you outta town niggas   Get caught up and turn bitter, the city of bullshitters   Where hopes are blown, not even money for the phone   Now tell me what's the solution, how to get back home?      Yo, don't get caught up in glamor and glitz and camera tricks   The Land of the Dead, before you come examine your set   Where drama collects and women use special effects   Where amateur stunts can make a nigga damage your fronts      Uh, the California Sunkist with a twist of limelight   Some set trip on the Sunset Strip   Believe the Hide Boulevard nice, the glamorous life   Many searchin' for the fame but can't afford the price      She would turn you out if you wasn't prepared, Hollywood   She would tell you the things that you wanted to hear, Hollywood   She would blur your vision when it once was clear   This chick is full of tricks so approach with fear, 'cuz      We are no superstars   Who wanna be large and forget who we are   Don't judge us by bank accounts and big cars   No matter how bright we shine we're far from bein' stars      You say you love L.A., you say the weather is great   Plenty sun in your face, you like the cars with bass   You like the way we paper chase and the women that shake   In the land of earthquakes and high crime rates      A lot of people are fake, this is Hollywood   We shape the minds of kids in every hood   We make your past situation look good   The nights filled with Shugs and I wish you would      You can dance with Alvin Haley and Les Miserables   In this century city, you can walk on the stars   Sex, money, and murder, yeah it's all 4 to 5   'Cuz fame and passerby with the name immortalized      On the avenue of stars, many names are called   On the boulevard, known for leavin' permanent scars   Many dreams get robbed, real movie macabre   Young heartthrobs get young heart sobs, 'cuz      {"Good evening, good evening, ladies and gentlemen   Welcome to Hollywood, California"}      The city of angel's wings represents people's hopes and dreams   And the evil that men do that live life close to kings   And boast supreme, fancy cars, coats, and cream   Material things provoke more folks to scheme      Whether you paid your cost, Cali green made your call   The smog covers the city like a table cloth   Is it fame at fault? Entertainers labeled soft   The place where people come to lose their train of thought      Despite the claims of what L.A. is and what it ain't   The picture the city paints that over exaggerates   Within the circus, if you're fillin' this service purpose   Some feel it ain't worth it, the city that's got you nervous      And make you injure and get up out of here nigga   'Cuz L.A. never considered for those that need baby sitters   This is the hot bed for singles and newlyweds   Some lookin' for better gigs or fiendin' to make it big      It's the only place where stars are born   And we are the only ones that can't be worn out   By any place regardless of the cost   'Cuz brothers with big dreams, sometimes they get lost 'cuz      We are no superstars   Who wanna be large and forget who we are   Don't judge us by bank accounts and big cars   No matter how bright we shine we're far from bein' stars      'Cuz stars fall, and disintegrate before they hit the   Asphalt, they incinerate 'cuz we came   Not to destroy the law but to fulfill   For those who appreciate those with skills      And, and   What is a DJ without the   Without the elements, it's all irrelevant   I represent the real from the beginning to the end of it
