Im Not A Star by MC Shy D Lyrics
[Intro]
Yo man, what are you talkin' about
Burger King, McDonalds?
You can go over here, where they serve you
For tabs for $100, you can drink Dom-Perignon
Steak, caviar, and all this
What are you talkin' about Burger King, blood?
You are a star, don't you understand?
[Verse 1]
Now, when I come out my house
And face reality, all the kids on the street
Just follow me
I just rock my rhyme but I do not sing
And around the way, they think that I am a king
And when I get on the bus, to go to school
Everybody does the same to learn the golden rule
I know they think I'm a star, but I'm really not
I'm just a cold fly guy, just rockin' the spot
I'm not a star
[Bridge]
Yo man, Ebony magazine called today
They want you on the cover (Star)
Yo man, they want twinkle twinkle, blood
Twinkle twinkle! (I'm not a star)
Yo man, why don't you want to be on the magazine?
Yo, you're Shy D, they love you out there!
[Verse 2]
And when I enter, my school, everybody greets me
They say "Yo, how you doin' How ya feel, Shy D?"
I speak back, and I walk, but they follow me
If my grade, was a D they would give me a B
I don't know what it is, but I feel real good
But I don't want to be the king of the neighborhood
They look at me as if I was on top
I gettin' all this attention, and I wish it would stop
I'm not a star
[Bridge]
Yo man, don't you want to get a Jherri Curl, man? (Star)
All stars wear Jherri Curls
A cab? We ain't runnin' no cab, get the limo!
Yo man, get the limo over there (Star)
Volkswagen my butt!
[Verse 3]
Now it's 3 o' clock, and I live real far
But this girl gave me, a ride in her car
I said thanks, got out, but she called me a jerk
She wanted to spend time, but I had homework
I had to study real hard, to make an A
So I told that girl "Maybe some other day"
She got real upset, but she couldn't deny
'Cause she told her friends "Yo, imma get that guy"
I'm not a star
[Bridge]
Yo man, why do you wanna diss all the girls? They love you!
You're Shy D! (Star)
Walkin' to the mall, you're gonna have to spend no money
All the girls will buy you everything you wanna wear (Star)
Why do you diss these girls?
You know what, why don't we switch places?
I'll do those things! (Kick it!)
Man, oh man, a lie
I just don't understand this (Yo man, I ain't with it homeboy)
I thought I taught you better than this, man (I ain't with it)
The Grammy Awards, yo man, the Grammy Awards (I'm not with it)
I think you're gonna win it (I'm not with it)
I think you're gonna win every award in there! (1, 2, 1, 2, 3 and)
[Verse 4]
Now when I thought about that girl, I got real upset
She thought that she could get me, by makin' a bet
But it don't work that way, 'cause I'm not for game
Don't try to go with me, just 'cause I'm my name
'Cause i'm a regular guy, I live a regular life
I'm MC Shy D, and I don't want no wife
I'm a single guy, and I wanna be free
But my head is not big on my body
I'm not a star
[Outro]
Yo man, we goin' over here to look at some sunglasses, blood
(Star)
You know, twinkle twinkle little star (I'm not a star)
I just don't understand, I thought I did my hair better than you
Why do you keep sayin' you're not a star?
Yo man, what are you talkin' about
Burger King, McDonalds?
You can go over here, where they serve you
For tabs for $100, you can drink Dom-Perignon
Steak, caviar, and all this
What are you talkin' about Burger King, blood?
You are a star, don't you understand?
[Verse 1]

Everybody does the same to learn the golden rule
I know they think I'm a star, but I'm really not

I'm not a star
