Lausd Lyrics


Yo, we are no superstars
Who wanna be large and forget who we are
Don't judge us by bank accounts and big cars
No matter how bright we shine we're far from bein' stars
'Cuz stars fall and disintegrate before they hit the
Asphalt, they incinerate 'cuz we came
Not to destroy the law but to fulfill
For those who appreciate those with skills
And fresh windmills and graf that kills
What is a DJ without the scratch to build?
Without the elements, it's all irrelevant
Niggas love to freestyle but hate to fellowship
Yeah, taste the city's agenda, most of you outta town niggas
Get caught up and turn bitter, the city of bullshitters
Where hopes are blown, not even money for the phone
Now tell me what's the solution, how to get back home?
Yo, don't get caught up in glamor and glitz and camera tricks
The Land of the Dead, before you come examine your set

Where drama collects and women use special effects
Where amateur stunts can make a nigga damage your fronts
Uh, the California Sunkist with a twist of limelight
Some set trip on the Sunset Strip
Believe the Hide Boulevard nice, the glamorous life
Many searchin' for the fame but can't afford the price
She would turn you out if you wasn't prepared, Hollywood
She would tell you the things that you wanted to hear, Hollywood
She would blur your vision when it once was clear
This chick is full of tricks so approach with fear, 'cuz
We are no superstars
Who wanna be large and forget who we are
Don't judge us by bank accounts and big cars
No matter how bright we shine we're far from bein' stars
You say you love L.A., you say the weather is great
Plenty sun in your face, you like the cars with bass
You like the way we paper chase and the women that shake
In the land of earthquakes and high crime rates
A lot of people are fake, this is Hollywood
We shape the minds of kids in every hood
We make your past situation look good
The nights filled with Shugs and I wish you would
You can dance with Alvin Haley and Les Miserables
In this century city, you can walk on the stars
Sex, money, and murder, yeah it's all 4 to 5
'Cuz fame and passerby with the name immortalized
On the avenue of stars, many names are called
On the boulevard, known for leavin' permanent scars
Many dreams get robbed, real movie macabre
Young heartthrobs get young heart sobs, 'cuz
{"Good evening, good evening, ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to Hollywood, California"}
The city of angel's wings represents people's hopes and dreams
And the evil that men do that live life close to kings
And boast supreme, fancy cars, coats, and cream
Material things provoke more folks to scheme
Whether you paid your cost, Cali green made your call
The smog covers the city like a table cloth
Is it fame at fault? Entertainers labeled soft
The place where people come to lose their train of thought
Despite the claims of what L.A. is and what it ain't
The picture the city paints that over exaggerates
Within the circus, if you're fillin' this service purpose
Some feel it ain't worth it, the city that's got you nervous
And make you injure and get up out of here nigga
'Cuz L.A. never considered for those that need baby sitters
This is the hot bed for singles and newlyweds
Some lookin' for better gigs or fiendin' to make it big
It's the only place where stars are born
And we are the only ones that can't be worn out
By any place regardless of the cost
'Cuz brothers with big dreams, sometimes they get lost 'cuz
We are no superstars
Who wanna be large and forget who we are
Don't judge us by bank accounts and big cars
No matter how bright we shine we're far from bein' stars
'Cuz stars fall, and disintegrate before they hit the
Asphalt, they incinerate 'cuz we came
Not to destroy the law but to fulfill
For those who appreciate those with skills
And, and
What is a DJ without the
Without the elements, it's all irrelevant
I represent the real from the beginning to the end of it

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Jurassic 5 was originally a six-piece hip-hop crew that was formed in 1993 at the Los Angeles, California venue Good Life. Rappers Chali 2na, Akil, Zaakir aka Soup, Mark 7even, and turntable maestros DJ Nu-Mark and DJ Cut Chemist came together from two separate crews, the Rebels of Rhythm and Unity Committee. Cut Chemist left the band in 2006 to pursue a solo career.

The group debuted for TVT Records in 1995 with the single for Unified Rebelution. Their acclaimed position in the 1990s alternative hip-hop movement, alongside artists including Company Flow, Black Star and Kool Keith, was confirmed when the Jurassic 5 EP was released in December 1997.

The EP was later repackaged with additional tracks and released in December 1998 as the band's full-length debut album, entitled Jurassic 5 LP.

The tracks harked back to the old school attitude of new york's Native Tongues Posse, the seminal late 1980s coalition of artists who reaffirmed rap's social agenda, which included De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers and A Tribe Called Quest. This was evident on the song Concrete Schoolyard ("Let's take it back to the concrete streets/Original beats from real live MCs"), and the album even provided the troupe with a surprise uk Top 40 single when it reached number 35 in November 1998. The other stand-out track, Jayou, was built around a hypnotic flute loop from Pleasure Web's Music Man Part 1 (Music Man Part 1).

In 1999, Jurassic 5 signed to Interscope Records, who re-released the Jurassic 5 EP. This was followed by their second album (their first on a major label), Quality Control.

In 2002, they released their third album, Power In Numbers, which was followed by touring with the newly-revived Lollapalooza festival in the summer of 2003.

Their latest album, Feedback, was released on July 25, 2006.

On March 21, 2007, in an interview with the Australian news outlet News.com.au, Zaakir confirmed that the band would be breaking up after their current and final live-tour.
