Rock Star
Santogold Julian Casablancas & N.E.R.D. Lyrics

Fuckin' posers, it's almost over now, it's almost over now
For all you posers out there, it's almost over for you.

You think the way you live's okay
You believe that your lifestyle is acceptable.

You think posing will save your day
You believe that pretending to be something you're not will solve your problems.

You think we don't see that you're running
You believe that you can fool us into thinking you're someone you're not.

Let her call your boys 'cause I'm coming
You should call on all the backup you can get because I'm on my way to confront you.

You can't be me I'm a rock star
You can never replicate the success and lifestyle of a true rock star.

I'm rhymin' on the top of a cop car
I'm so successful that I can perform wherever I want, even on top of a police car.

I'm a rebel and my four four pops far so
I am a rebel at heart and I'm not afraid to speak my mind or use my weapon if necessary.

Guess you ain't heard that we swallow guys
You probably haven't heard that we are so dominant that we are literally making our competition disappear.

It's too damn late to apologize
You have already made too many mistakes and it's too late to try to make amends now.

When you see the mental or when you see the skies
When you experience the full extent of our power, you will understand the gravity of your mistakes.

You think that you don't have to ever quit
You believe that you can continue like this indefinitely without consequences.

You think that you can get away with it
You think that you will never be caught or held accountable for your actions.

You think that life won't be ever lit
You believe that your life will never be as exciting and successful as mine.

Somethin' on your chest better get it off
You should confess your secrets or grievances before it's too late.

There'll be no one left when we set it off
When we take action, there will be no one left to stop us.

We ain't gon' take it no more
We will not tolerate your behavior any longer.

You had plenty of time, there was no rush
You had ample opportunity to change your ways, but you didn't take it seriously.

But it was your dream to be like us
Despite your reluctance to admit it, you have always aspired to be like me and my colleagues.

You're in dreamland so you don't care
You are living in a fantasy world and are not aware of the reality of the situation.

And as you wait we're standing there
While you continue to procrastinate and ignore the facts, we are waiting patiently for our opportunity to take action.

No one ever really dies
People's legacies and influence can live on even after they pass away.

You believe that?
Do you agree with this statement?

Well if not, for you
If you don't believe in this concept,

It's almost over now, almost over now
Your time is running out.

I'm watching you by star track
I'm keeping my eye on you and monitoring your every move.

Comin' to a theater near you
Our next move or action will be happening soon and will be visible to everyone.
