Rock Star-Fishbone

Rock Star - Fishbone When I was a kid I would go to the show and see the rock star Id play my records and look at the album cover at the rock star Sometimes Id check out the r&b But the polka, salsa classical scene just was not me I wanted to be like bootsy, dr. funkenstein or jimi the rock star Color meant nothing to me Everything was equal as far as I could see Ignorant to the racist music industry music industry music industry Music industry... white rock star Everywhere I look... white rock star Read it in the paper... white rock star Watch it on tv... white rock star Only just a little... black rock star Only for a token... black rock star Sing no controversy... black rock star Sometimes for the flavor of japanese No communication but its overseas Unaware of how propaganda works I soon became a victim, a trick at work With my black brothas playin rock & roll Signed and hoin for a major label Selling my soul as a rock star Do the rock star ohh Do the rock star yeah Break a window, smash a tv Were some hott mother as its no doubt about We do the rock star ohh Do the rock star, yeah Get real drunk, Kick in the radio, smash up a chair Do the rock star, wooh Do the rock star, yeah Wreck your hotel room, catch a lear jet Stay in debt, manic depressed Sweat & jerk to the best Smoke a cig Lie fry loosin your mind like a rock star I got supposed fortune & fame With existential potential of runnin the game But it the greedy of the whitey at the top of my frame thats Blurrin my art piece Makin it weak see Makin it watered down Dilutin my funky sound But its all you need to be In this weak society Powder puffy rock star dumb Keepin people stupid and dumb Do the rock star ooh Do the rock star hey Shoot up some heroin Snort some cocaine Smash your guitar Wreck a jet plane With a short gun to your brain For the price of fame Losers !!! Kurt cobain meant nothing to me But now I just cant escape from the rains that drive me ape Of their white fear Through the television in my eyes in my ears Racism ! separation ! media ! So I guess you can say Im an angry brotha Cant play my music cause of barrier of color Deep in debt with a seven record set Videos and funky shows but no one knows The major pain and misery of bein radical Speakin of what you feel in a world thats sad and dull But the rock star got the money and the right Action lights and plane flights Drugs and press but in reality Its a lot less when youre the rock star oooh
