Stardom Road
Stardom Struggles: A Mule's Journey Through Betrayal and Rejection
Lyrics
Well, I kicked on my mule to parade me
Expressing determination by kicking on a mule to showcase oneself
Everyone else laughed and betrayed me
Feeling betrayed and mocked by others despite efforts
They said, "You ain't got the look and you ain't got the size
Others criticize the appearance and size, suggesting a lack of conformity
And you sure look like a fairy with those sweet puffy eyes"
Judgment based on appearance, referring to stereotypical views
And you won't
Reiteration of the challenge to achieve success ("stardom road")
No, you won't
-No, you won't
-Get that load up stardom road
-Well, there's managers and producers
Introduction of elements like managers, producers, queens, and substances, possibly related to the entertainment industry
And all the queens you need
-There's [Incomprehensible] and there's juices
-And there'll spaced out on speed
-And when all the public see and when all the people stare
Public perception: skepticism about potential success, lack of belief in the person's abilities
They say look at him riding his mule upstage
-He ain't going no where, no where
-He ain't got no, well, he ain't got no highway fare
-Well, I kicked on my mule and he obeyed me
Repeating the act of commanding the mule, showing persistence
Everyone else, they snubbed and delayed me
Experiencing social rejection and delays from others
They said, "You ain't got voice and you ain't got the chords
Criticism extends to the person's voice, musical abilities, and living conditions
And you're living in bay's water on floorboards"
-And you won't
Reemphasizing the difficulty of carrying the burden of achieving stardom
No, you won't
-No, you won't
-Take that load up stardom road
-you're nowhere, you ain't got non'
Highlighting the person's current status: nowhere, lacking resources
You ain't got no highway fare
-No, you're nothing, you're no one, never gonna be anyone
Emphasizing a sense of insignificance and the belief that success is unattainable
You ain't got nothing
Reiterating the person's perceived lack of possessions or achievements
And you won't
Final reiteration of the challenges in pursuing the stardom road
No, you won't
-No, you won't
-Take that load up stardom road
