2x
Fuckin' posers
It's almost over now
It's almost over now
Yeah

You think the way you live is okay
You think posin'
Will save the day
You think we don't see
That you're running
Better call your boys
'Cause I'm coming

Chorus

You can't be me
I'm a Rock Star
I'm rhyming on the top of a cop car
I'm a rebel and my .44 pops far

It's almost over now
It's almost over now

Yes
You ain't heard that we swallow guys
It's too damn late to apologize
When you see the mantle or will you see the skies

It's almost over now
It's almost over now

You think that you don't have to ever quit
You think that you can get away with it

You think the light won't be ever lit

It's almost over now
Almost over now

Something's on your chest
Better get it off
There'll be no one left when we set it off
We ain't gonna take it no more
Since

It's almost over now
Almost over now

You have to plenty of time
There was no rush
But it was your dream to be like us
You're in dreamland so you don't care
And as you wait
I'm standing there

Repeat Chorus

You don't succeed cause you hesitate
You think we're fly
But we levitate
Just be yourself
Don't ask us why
'Cause if you don't we'll make you fly

Repeat Chorus

    General Comment: this song talks about these people who pretend to be something they're not, is not about rockstars trying to be rap artists.. If you see lately most rap artists sing and noone except some rap lovers dislike it, ti song is what every rockstar wants to tell some people who only tries to be like them, they are the rockstars, others are fans or just people who doesn't know what the hell they are and pretend If you see the video you can understand it better..
    I don't know if you ever had someone who tried to copy your way of dress,your favorite music and your way of act, but its rele annoying! I think this song talks about this!

    General Comment:this song isn't about a battle against the different genres of music. it's just about how posers suck. be real. be who you are.

    General Comment:Ummm, ok, first, the underground/pioneer hip hop is superior to the majority of generic cookie cutter bullspit that's being released nowadays, second, this song is about, IMO, tellin ppl to stop "frontin" and be who you are, because being fake'll never get you nowhere.....ask avril lavigne, she had to go out wit the dude from sum 41

    General Comment:This song makes me wanna go kill posers, but the nerd in the video needs to die in a hole. He's fugly and has nothing to do with posing (and he's taking up time that could be devoted to Pharrell's sexy self).

    General Comment:This song's orginal tilte is only "ROCKSTAR" and not "Rockstar Poser". And in my opinion, it's a very lame attempt to blame rockstars.

    General Comment:Tip: Put this song in a dj program and speed it up about 1.5-2.0x and it sounds alot better. I cant handle an energetic song that slow.
    Not bad though. IMO, it was a one-hit-wonder to a small degree
