Up to Par
Up to Par: Unveiling the Illusion
Lyrics
I don't know who you are
I am uncertain about your identity.
Or how you got this far
Uncertain how you achieved your current position or status.
I'm looking for a star
I'm searching for someone exceptional, like a star.
And you're not up to par
You don't meet the expected standard or level.
I don't know who you are
I am uncertain about your identity.
Or how you got this far
Uncertain how you achieved your current position or status.
I'm looking for a star
I'm searching for someone exceptional, like a star.
And you're not up to par
You don't meet the expected standard or level.
Hey, hey are you ready for me?
Questioning if you're prepared for me.
'Cause I've got the golden arrow
Confident in possessing something exceptional.
Say watch out, get up out of my way
Warning others to move aside as you won't be deterred.
'Cause you'll never dim my halo
Asserting that your brilliance won't be diminished.
Say hey, hey if you're coming for me
Indicating consequences if someone challenges you.
Let me tell you how that's gon' go
Explaining what will happen if someone opposes you.
My first lady wouldn't want it this way
Personal standards differ from traditional expectations.
But I ain't scared to go low
Not afraid to handle difficult situations.
You think you're special but from what I see
Perceiving oneself as superior to others.
I'm on another level boy, entirely
Believing to be on a different and higher level.
You're quite the magician, got 'em hypnotized
Having a charismatic effect on others.
Better pray they never see the light
Warning against exposure or revelation.
I don't know who you are
Uncertain about your identity.
Or how you got this far
Uncertain how you achieved your current position or status.
I'm looking for a star
Seeking someone exceptional, like a star.
And you're not up to par
You don't meet the expected standard or level.
Hey, hey you ain't nothing like me
Emphasizing differences between you and someone else.
So keep my name out your mouth
Advising others to avoid mentioning you negatively.
And baby, better watch what you say
Cautioning against speaking negatively about you.
Or watch this conversation go south
Warning of escalating conflict if provoked.
Hey, hey you tried to come for my crown
Reacting strongly to threats to your status.
But it's still sitting pretty
Despite challenges, still maintaining superiority.
And just know, if it's about to go down
Assuring support and loyalty during conflict.
That my kingdom's standing with me
You're a fraud, a phony, a flash in the pan
Suggesting discomfort while witnessing others' success.
Does it make you nervous watching grains of stand
Comparing time's passage with anxiety.
Steady making their way down the hourglass
Emphasizing the transitory nature of beauty.
'Cause beauty fades and talent lasts
Highlighting the enduring nature of talent.
I don't know who you are
Uncertain about your identity.
Or how you got this far
Uncertain how you achieved your current position or status.
I'm looking for a star
Seeking someone exceptional, like a star.
And you're not up to par
You don't meet the expected standard or level.
I don't know who you are
Uncertain about your identity.
Or how you got this far
Uncertain how you achieved your current position or status.
I'm looking for a star
Seeking someone exceptional, like a star.
And you're not up to par
You don't meet the expected standard or level.
