Better Get 'em Lyrics - Lil Wayne

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne] 

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me 

I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed 

She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb 

In the shape of an "L" on her forehead 

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming 

Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running 

Didn't make sense not to live for fun 

Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb 

So much to do, so much to see 

So what's wrong with taking the back streets? 

You'll never know if you don't go 

You'll never shine if you don't glow 

Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play 

Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid 

And all that glitters is gold 

Only shooting stars break the mold 

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder 

You're bundled up now, wait till you get older 

But the meteor men beg to differ 

Judging by the hole in the satellite picture 

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin 

The water's getting warm so you might as well swim 

My world's on fire, how about yours? 

That's the way I like it and I never get bored 

Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play 

Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid 

All that glitters is gold 

Only shooting stars break the mold 

Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play 

Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show, on get paid 

And all that glitters is gold 

Only shooting stars 

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas? 

I need to get myself away from this place 

I said yep what a concept 

I could use a little fuel myself 

And we could all use a little change 

Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming 

Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running 

Didn't make sense not to live for fun 

Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb 

So much to do, so much to see 

So what's wrong with taking the back streets? 

You'll never know if you don't go (go!) 

You'll never shine if you don't glow 

Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play 

Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid 

And all that glitters is gold 

Only shooting stars break the mold 

And all that glitters is gold 

Only shooting stars break the mold
