Back in the day
All you wanted was to play your guitar
and be a rockstar
In the basement you wrote, produced, an let loose
A sound that was infectious
Expectations, new relations
Take it to the top, your new creations
Be your own boss and tell your boss off
cause now, you're the new sensation
You always say that they'll come a day
You always do
You want to be part of it all
They don't want you
Don't ask for this but you got it
Should have thought of what you wanted
At the end of the day, you took it up the A
and now you're back were you started
You got it
What you wanted
Yeah, you got it Now you're back where you started
Now you're living large
Fat crib, mad cars and all the girls
You got the whole world
Didn't listen to your friends
When they told you be careful
Now they're only out to get you
Bad decisions, no provisions
All the way back to the beginning
Everything you had is down the drain
You're pain, that's the game
You always say that they'll come a day
You know it's true
You want to be part of it all
They don't want you
All you wanted was to play your guitar
and be a rockstar
In the basement you wrote, produced, an let loose
A sound that was infectious
Expectations, new relations
Take it to the top, your new creations
Be your own boss and tell your boss off
cause now, you're the new sensation
You always say that they'll come a day
You always do
You want to be part of it all
They don't want you
Don't ask for this but you got it
Should have thought of what you wanted
At the end of the day, you took it up the A
and now you're back were you started
You got it
