Preservation

[Verse 1: Pharrell] Hate when they call me superstar Do I look like a superstar? They're unreachable and they're very far Ever noticed I'm right here wit' y'all? I cover my face, because They do not need to see No gangsta or no thug, I am just being me The world smells of drama So I cover up my nose The face is like film – leave it out too long, it gets overexposed Getting praised by magazines For my girlfriends and my clothes I hope they still love me when I shun away 'Cause I am afraid to blow [Hook: N*E*R*D, (Pharrell)] WANT WAR?!! (Well!) WAR, WE'LL GIVE! We'll be rocking this BANDANA! (Well!) So you CAN'T SEE SHIT! [Verse 2: Pharrell] Now the fear of blowing up Definitely takes its toll It sends its demons down to your mind To take control If it thinks it's got my mind, it–it better think again I got the pleasure of the piano and this powerful pen But you (You!) You want fifteen minutes to shine, what's your concept? (Well?!?) What's so interesting? What's your design? Soon as you get your cover story And your precious headlines "So sorry, so sorry, so sorry" They'll just fuck you from behind [Hook: N*E*R*D, (Pharrell)] WANT WAR?!! (War!) (Well!) WAR, WE'LL GIVE! We'll be rocking this BANDANA! (Well!) So you CAN'T SEE SHIT! [Bridge: Pharrell] I don't wanna blow up, I'm smiling 'cause I know All the pieces that make me me won't be missing from my soul My self-esteem is not a fake, it comes from within "Come and take a picture, I'll sign whatever you want, my friend!" Still... (Still...) Still... (Still...) Yeah! (War...) [Hook: N*E*R*D, (Pharrell)] WANT WAR?!! (Well!) WAR, WE'LL GIVE! We'll be rocking this BANDANA! (Well!) So you CAN'T SEE SHIT! (Ahhh!) ...WANT WAR!??!
