Stars Without Stages |
See they never been on TV or radio either |
All they ever did was take care of you, love you and feed ya |
Teach ya how to make it through this life and what life means |
Punch the clock and keep the bills paid, same routine |
You ain’t never seen a star if you haven’t seen mothers |
They don’t get to be on movie screens or magazine covers |
They just go about their day working their regular grind |
No award ceremonies and they never get shine |
We chase celebrities and power 'cause it’s clout that we seek |
But can your favorite rapper stretch ten dollars out through a week? |
Gotta judge her off her hardwork instead of her looks |
And when you went to jail who was putting bread on your books? |
She don’t have a million Twitter followers and no hits |
Only you and your sister or your brother, that’s it |
You supposed to take the pressure off of them and let 'em be free |
To quote KD, mama’s the real MVP |
The real star is your parents, not a singer or rapper |
Not a sports athlete, politician or actor |
It ain’t 'bout having lit social media pages |
'cause real superstars don’t perform on stages |
The real star is your parents, not a singer or rapper |
Not a sports athlete, politician or actor |
It ain’t 'bout having lit social media pages |
'cause real superstars don’t perform on stages |
Picture waking every morning ten or twenty years straight |
Showing up consistently to work a job that you hate |
Week after week cost of living don’t come cheap |
Providing for a whole family, sometimes one deep |
Paparazzi don’t chase them, no pictures get took |
Ain’t no award show for mama for the meals that she cooks |
Catching buses just to get around, no new cars |
No interviews on big talk shows for working two jobs |
Don’t complain about your parents, youngsta, leave them be |
When daddy leave the house, we ain’t seeing TMZ |
He developed your growth, watched and looked over you closely |
Bought that car when you graduated, where’s his trophy? |
Even when you grown we still rely on their help |
He gave some classic whoopings, they need to retire his belt |
And hang it from the ceiling in your house, a sign of respect |
Because that’s one of many things they use to keep us in check |
The real star is your parents, not a singer or rapper |
Not a sports athlete, politician or actor |
It ain’t 'bout having lit social media pages |
'cause real superstars don’t perform on stages |
The real star is your parents, not a singer or rapper |
Not a sports athlete, politician or actor |
It ain’t 'bout having lit social media pages |
'cause real superstars don’t perform on stages |
Forget fights, footage and, we don’t need that title |
Record somebody paying a light bill, make that go viral |
Once you realize the things they do, it’s hard to believe it |
Grandparents need awards for lifetime achievements |
We should live for mom and dad for all the hell we give 'em |
Next time you see a struggling parent, take a selfie with 'em |
Who been supporting you and staying down with ya? |
These the ones you need to run to and ask for a picture |
She don’t need a lot of applause coming at her because |
She’s a star in reality, you like reality stars |
But what’s crazy they the source of whatever you do |
Every attribute that you got they gave it to you |
They ain’t walking no red carpet, ain’t no big tour bus |
Not performing in front of twenty thousand people, just us |
You love to be around celebrities, gazing and staring |
You want a real autograph, go get one from your parents |
The real star is your parents, not a singer or rapper |
Not a sports athlete, politician or actor |
It ain’t 'bout having lit social media pages |
'cause real superstars don’t perform on stages |
The real star is your parents, not a singer or rapper |
Not a sports athlete, politician or actor |
It ain’t 'bout having lit social media pages |
'cause real superstars don’t perform on stages |
