Lyrics

[Hook: Jurassic 5] 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 being stars 'Cause stars fall, and disintegrate Before they hit the asphalt – they incinerate 'Cause we came not to destroy the law but to fulfill For those who appreciate those with skills And fresh windmills, and graff 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 [Zaakir] 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? [Charli 2na] Yo, don't get caught up in glamor and glitz and camera tricks The Land of the Debt, before you come examine your set Where drama collects and women use special effects Where amateur stunts can make a nigga damage your fronts [Akil] Uh, the California Sunkist with a twist of limelight Some set trip on the Sunset Strip Believe the Hyde Boulevard nice, the glamorous life Many searching for the fame but can't afford the price [Marc 7even] She would turn you out if you wasn't prepared She would tell you the things you wanted to hear She would blur your vision when it once was clear This chick is full of tricks so approach with fear, 'cause [Hook: Jurassic 5] 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 being stars [Zaakir] 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 paperchase 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 Suge's and I-wish-you-would's [Marc 7even] You can dance with Alvin Ailey and Les Miserables In the Century City, you can walk on the stars Sex, money, and murder – yeah, it's all fortified 'Cause fame and passerbys want the name immortalized [Akil] On the avenue of stars, many names are called On the boulevard, known for leaving permanent scars Many dreams get robbed, real movie macabre Young heartthrobs get young heart sobs, 'cause [Scratch Break] "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen And welcome to Hollywood, California!" {*crowd applause* [Charli 2na] The City of Angels' wings represents people's hopes and dreams And the evil that men do to live life close to kings And boast supreme, fancy cars, coats, and cream Material things provoke more folks to scheme But if you paid, you floss; Cali green made you cough 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 [Zaakir] Despite the claims of what L.A. is and what it ain't The picture the city paints that over-exaggerate Within the circus, if you're feeling it's served its purpose Or feeling it ain't worth it, the city that's got you nervous Then make your Hijrah, and get up out of here, nigga 'Cause LA never considered for those that need babysitters This is the hot bed for singles and newlyweds Some looking for better gigs or fiending 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 'Cause brothers with big dreams, sometimes they get LAUSD 'cause [Hook: Jurassic 5] 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 being stars 'Cause stars fall, and disintegrate Before they hit the asphalt – they incinerate 'Cause we came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill For those who appreciate those with skills And {*sound of shoes squeaking*} and {*spray can sounds*} What is a DJ without the {*scratching*} Without the elements, it's all irrelevant "I represent the real, from the beginning to the end of it" "To the end of it..." "To the end of it..."
