N.E.R.D. – Perseverance

Hate when they call me superstar

do I look like a superstar

yet unreachable very far

ever notice i’m right here where wit y’all

I cover my face because

they do not need t see

im no gangsta or no thug

im a just being me

the world smells of drama

and i cover up my nose

they faces like film left out to long

it gets over exposed

getting praised by magazines

from the girlfriends in my clothes

I hope they still love me

when i should wait

cuz i’m afraid to blow

chorus:

WANT WAR

(well)

WAR WILL GIVE

(we’ll be rockin this)

CHAINED DOWN

(so u)

SO U CANT SEE *HIT

Now the fear of blowing up

definitely takes it toll

it sends demons down deep into your mind

to take control

if it thinks its got my mind

then it better think again

I got a the pleasure of the piano

and this powerful pen

but you

(YOU)

you had 15 minutes to shine with your concepts

(huh)

Whats so interesting?

whats your desire?

did u get your cover story

and your precious headlines

so sorry so sorry so sorry they just *ucked ’em from behind

CHORUS

I dont wanna blow up

im smiling cuz i know

the pieces that make me me

and glisten thru my soul

my self esteem is not a thing

it comes from within

can u take a picture

I’ll sign whatever you want my friends

still

(still)

still

(still)

YEA!

CHORUS

WANT WAR
