"Pull up while people stoppin stare, Like we're on TV"

Song Title: Red Carpet (Pause, Flash)
Album: Happy People/ U Saved Me, 2004

Full Verse:
Jump out styling ladies smilin
Popa roxies everywhere Hummer stretches limo lexis
Pull up while people stoppin stare
Like we're on t.v.

R. spends this song reveling in the joys of walking down a red carpet. He's loving the attention of all the photographers, loving the line of limos, the beautiful women, the throngs of onlookers. He's overjoyed at the specticle he's created, and remarks enthusastically, that it's "like we're on t.v."

Isn't this so sweet of R.? To act like it is SO far out there of an idea that he would be on tv?

By the time he wrote this song it had been six years since Space Jam came out and 'I Believe I Can Fly' became a mega hit worldwide, making R. an international sensation with riches beyond his wildest dreams. And yet he's acting as if walking down the red carpet is merely LIKE being on tv. Not to be confused with actually being on tv, which he does all the time.
