Burned

So many stars out there dreaming
To someday make it famous
Then I hear them "give it all"
But they all just sound the lamest
Acting oh so flawless
See their names in burned out lights
Making something out of nothing
Here I'll show you how to write
Change the chemistry with word play
Need a thesaurus and dictionary
Couldn't even spell it out for you
In a game of pictonary
Their rhymes schemes have no substance
Or written shadily by plagiarizing people
Using other artists material
Where their own talent lies so feeble
See their nervous twitches
Shifty eyes
Spit at me, step closer
I'll leave your tongue circumsized
Surprised?
I'm better than you thought?
Now take your ass on
Your name I've already forgot!
