On the "Keep your head straight..." part, the guitar stops and 
only the violins play with the xylophone part

Lyrics:

So you wanna be a rock superstar,
And live large,
Big house,
5 Cars.
Your in charge.
Comin' up in the world, don't trust nobody,
Gotta look over your shoulder constantly.

[B-real]
I remember the days when I was a young kid growing up,
Looking in the mirror, dreaming about growing up.
The rock crowd collects money too with the honeyz,
Signed autographs and what ever the people want from me.
Shit's funny how impossible dreams manifest,
And the games that be comin' with it,
Never the less,
You got the go from the go from the gusto,
But you don't know about the blood sweat and tears,
That loses some of your peers,
That loses some of yourself to the years past that go by.
Hopefully it don't manifest,
Let the chrome die.
Ego maniac in the brainiac,
Don't know how to act,
Shit's deep, 48 tracks.
Studio gangsta max,
Signed a deal,
Thinks he's gonna make a meal,
But never will,
Till he crosses over steel.
Filling your head with ramesis,
Come with mes,
Take the sacrifice it takes to make the cheese.
You wanna be a rock superstar,
In the biz,
And take shit from people,
Who don't know what it is.
Think the ship is fun and games,
But the price of fame is high,
And some can't pay their way,
You feel trapped in.
What you laughin' about?
Tell me what happened when you lost clout,
The rocks you took started collapsin',
No fans, no fame,
No respect, no change
No women,
And everybody shit's on ya.

[Sen dogg]
You ever have big dreams?
Of making big cream?
Big shot, 
Heavy hitter on the mainstream?
You wanna look trendy,
In the bentley?
Be a snob and never act friendly?
You wanna have big fame?
Let me explain,
What happens to these thugs,
And their big brains;
1st they get played like,
All damn day.
As long as you sell, 
Everything will be OK.
Then you get dissed by the media and fans.
Things don't respect the same way, Dippy Dan.
I heard that some nigger get full to the fullest,
That's why fools end up dining on the bullet.
Think everything's fine, 
In the big time.
See me in my next,
With the crome re-shine.
So you wanna go far, and live large?
It ain't gonna cause red bein' a rockstar.

[B-real]
My own son don't know me,
I'm chilling in the home town room only,
But I thank God I'm wth my homies.
But sometimes I wish I was back home,
But only no radio or video,
Is gonna show me.
No love for money.
Gotta hit the boat slowly,
So the record gets pushed by Sony,
I'm in the middle like monie,
And the press say that,
My own people disown me and the best way back,
Is to keep the head straight, 
Never; inflate the cranium,
Let you worry about the honeyz,
At the paladium,
Who just wanna cling on, 
Swing on and so on.
Go on bowl off,
And all smoke draw.
Till the next rock superstar,
With no shame,
Gives them a gift,
And he'll be right out the game,
The same as the last one,
Who came before him,
Again, fame started getting ignored,
Report in,
Assured him,
This ain't easy,
Take it from Reesey, sleazy,
People want to be so cheesy,
They're fuckin' evil.
