Superstar
A. G. Cook Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Forget about the cars, the bentleys with the rims
It's not about the clothes, the baggy jeans and timbs
Forget about the house, the mansion on the hill
With the swimming pool in the back and the barbecue on the grill
Forget about fortune, forget about the fame
See it's not about money or people screaming my name
I just love you, oh Lord I just love you for who you are
That's all, that's all
See, I'm not trying to be no superstar
That's not why I'm singing this song

Some people just love you for the things you've done
And some just love you for all the victories won
Now there's nothing wrong (nothing wrong) with that kind of praise (kind of praise)
But this time around, I love you is all I wanna say
I got one more verse, before I end this tune
See, I can go on and on like Erykah Badu
Cause I just love you, oh Lord I just love you for who you are
That's all, that's all
See, I'm not trying to be no superstar

Now if you never bless me with material things
(Like what?) Like the furs and the diamonds and the escalade or the rims
See you would still be God and that's enough for me to love you
Hey, I love you Lord
Cause I just love you, oh Lord I just love you for who you are
You mean more than this world to me
See, I'm not trying to be no superstar
That's not why I'm singing this song

I love you Lord and here's the reason why
You gave your life, you didn't have to die
Everytime I think about it I just cry
As I long as I live you'll be glorified
I know I don't pray just as much I should
I know I don't read just as much as I could
And if I ask you to forgive me Lord I know you would
Tryin' to end this song but you've been so good to me
I just love you, oh Lord I just love you for who you are
You mean more than this life to me
See, I'm not trying to be no superstar

You mean more than life to me, you're everything I need
You supply all of my needs
The list goes on and on
I just love you
I'm tryin' to end this song but you've been so good
All I can say is....





na na na na naaa, na na na na naaaa
(repeat until end)

Overall Meaning

In A.G. Cook's "Superstar," the lyrics delve into the idea of celebrity culture and what truly matters in life. The first verse challenges the idea that material possessions or fame are what define someone as a superstar, instead emphasizing the love and appreciation for a higher power. The second verse expands upon this idea by acknowledging the different types of praise that people receive and admits that solely expressing love is the most important thing to convey. The final verse is a heartfelt prayer of gratitude and asks for forgiveness with the acknowledgement of the Lord's goodness.


Cook's lyrics are introspective and reflective, questioning the inherent value placed on material possessions and fame in modern society. The repetition of the phrase "I just love you" highlights the simplicity of the message, emphasizing that love is enough on its own. The use of a gospel choir in the chorus adds to the spiritual undertones of the song, elevating it from a simple pop track to a more soulful and meaningful soundscape.


Overall, "Superstar" serves as a reminder of the importance of love and appreciation for the things that truly matter in life, rather than getting caught up in superficial pursuits of fame or material wealth.

Every day, dreaming
Of a time and a place not far away
Every time, I begin
Feeling fine cos I know I'm going
Up up up oh oh
Up up I know I'm going
Up up up oh oh
Up up I know I'm going
Up up up oh oh
Up up I know I'm going
Up up up oh oh
Up and away with you
Maybe you know
Where to go when you feel
Like the world wants to bring you down
Maybe you know
That we all wanna feel like we make a difference
Do you believe
Do you believe
Do you believe
I've got what it takes
Do you believe
Do you believe
Do you believe
I'm gonna make it to the top
I'll never let you down and
I'll never let you go
You make me feel like
I wanna take it all the way
I know that you're the one and
I just want you to know
You make me feel like
I'm a superstar
I'll never let you down and
I'll never let you go
You make me feel like
I'm gonna make it
I wish I could
Make you believe in you the way I do
The things I do, I do for you
You... I.Know
I-I Know
I Know
I know that you're the one and
You make me feel like
I'm a superstar

I know that you're the one and
You make me feel like

I know that you're the one and
You make me feel like
I'm a superstar
I know that you're the one and
I just want you to know
You make me feel like

PC Music is honestly the best thing I've heard in recent memory. They are doing for electronic music what Devo did for rock music but on a whole other level. The music/aesthetic completely transcends the fake/real dichotomy that underscores our culture today, shit is lit af.
