Lausd Lyrics - Quality Control - 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 bein' stars 

'Cuz stars fall and disintegrate before they hit the 

Asphalt, they incinerate 'cuz we came 

Not to destroy the law but to fulfill 

For those who appreciate those with skills 

And fresh windmills and graf 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 

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? 

Yo, don't get caught up in glamor and glitz and camera tricks 

The Land of the Dead, before you come examine your set 

Where drama collects and women use special effects 

Where amateur stunts can make a nigga damage your fronts 

Uh, the California Sunkist with a twist of limelight 

Some set trip on the Sunset Strip 

Believe the Hide Boulevard nice, the glamorous life 

Many searchin' for the fame but can't afford the price 

She would turn you out if you wasn't prepared, Hollywood 

She would tell you the things that you wanted to hear, Hollywood 

She would blur your vision when it once was clear 

This chick is full of tricks so approach with fear, 'cuz 

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 bein' stars 

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 paper chase 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 Shugs and I wish you would 

You can dance with Alvin Haley and Les Miserables 

In this century city, you can walk on the stars 

Sex, money, and murder, yeah it's all 4 to 5 

'Cuz fame and passerby with the name immortalized 

On the avenue of stars, many names are called 

On the boulevard, known for leavin' permanent scars 

Many dreams get robbed, real movie macabre 

Young heartthrobs get young heart sobs, 'cuz 

{"Good evening, good evening, ladies and gentlemen 

Welcome to Hollywood, California"} 

The city of angel's wings represents people's hopes and dreams 

And the evil that men do that live life close to kings 

And boast supreme, fancy cars, coats, and cream 

Material things provoke more folks to scheme 

Whether you paid your cost, Cali green made your call 

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 

Despite the claims of what L.A. is and what it ain't 

The picture the city paints that over exaggerates 

Within the circus, if you're fillin' this service purpose 

Some feel it ain't worth it, the city that's got you nervous 

And make you injure and get up out of here nigga 

'Cuz L.A. never considered for those that need baby sitters 

This is the hot bed for singles and newlyweds 

Some lookin' for better gigs or fiendin' 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 

'Cuz brothers with big dreams, sometimes they get lost 'cuz 

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 bein' stars 

'Cuz stars fall, and disintegrate before they hit the 

Asphalt, they incinerate 'cuz we came 

Not to destroy the law but to fulfill 

For those who appreciate those with skills 

And, and 

What is a DJ without the 

Without the elements, it's all irrelevant 

I represent the real from the beginning to the end of it
