Fishbone - Rock Star Lyrics
When I was a kid I would go to the show and see the rock starId play my records and look at the album cover at the rock starSometimes Id check out the r&bBut the polka, salsa classical scene just was not meI wanted to be like bootsy, dr. funkenstein or jimi the rock starColor meant nothing to meEverything was equal as far as I could seeIgnorant to the racist music industry music industry music industryMusic industry... white rock starEverywhere I look... white rock starRead it in the paper... white rock starWatch it on tv... white rock starOnly just a little... black rock starOnly for a token... black rock starSing no controversy... black rock starSometimes for the flavor of japaneseNo communication but its overseasUnaware of how propaganda worksI soon became a victim, a trick at workWith my black brothas playin rock & rollSigned and hoin for a major labelSelling my soul as a rock starDo the rock star ohhDo the rock star yeahBreak a window, smash a tvWere some hott mother *****as its no doubt aboutWe do the rock star ohhDo the rock star, yeahGet real drunk, *****, *****, *****Kick in the radio, smash up a chairDo the rock star, woohDo the rock star, yeahWreck your hotel room, catch a lear jetStay in debt, manic depressedSweat & jerk to the bestSmoke a cig, *****, *****, *****Lie fry loosin your mind like a rock starI got supposed fortune & fameWith existential potential of runnin the gameBut it the greedy of the whitey at the top of my frame thatsBlurrin my art pieceMakin it weak seeMakin it watered downDilutin my funky soundBut its all you need to beIn this weak societyPowder puffy rock star dumbKeepin people stupid and dumbDo the rock star oohDo the rock star heyShoot up some heroinSnort some cocaineSmash your guitarWreck a jet planeWith a short gun to your brainFor the price of fameLosers !!!? ? ? ? ?Kurt cobain meant nothing to meBut now I just cant escape from the rains that drive me apeOf their white fearThrough the television in my eyes in my earsRacism ! separation ! media !So I guess you can say Im an angry brothaCant play my music cause of barrier of colorDeep in debt with a seven record setVideos and funky shows but no one knowsThe major pain and misery of bein radicalSpeakin of what you feel in a world thats sad and dullBut the rock star got the money and the ***** ***** rightAction lights and plane flightsDrugs and press but in realityIts a lot less when youre the rock star oooh
