You invite me to pick up my award

After all the time I've been out here

My music is still the same

Why is it just now getting there?

Wonder why this one got such play?

Wonder why all the fuss is made?

Now the turntables goin' 'round and 'round



Who's the judge of this anyway?

My music said what I had to say

Who decides if it's wrong or right?

The authority with such insite?

Wonder why this one got such play?

Wonder why all the fuss is made?

Now the turntables goin' 'round and 'round



We thought you wanted to be a star

You worked so hard to get this far

You played all the small time scenes

We just wanted to fulfill your dreams

You won a grammy, you won a grammy

You won a grammy, you won a grammy



Don't think I want to be bothered at all

Maybe I'll just give them a call

I won't go through pomp and circumstance

Anyway, my music isn't fancy

You invite me to share my fame

I've decided not to play your game

Now the turntables goin' 'round and 'round



We thought you wanted to be a star
