Rihanna & Justin Timberlake
One of Rihanna’s darker songs on her album Rated R, which features Guns N Roses guitarist Slash on Guitar. From frisk searching to six inch heels, Rihanna leaves out nothing in this song. She uses her lower register and “heavy” modulation to perform the most of the song.

[Verse 1]
Got up in the club, posted in the back
Feeling so good, looking so bad
Rocking this skirt, rocking this club
Got my middle finger up, I don't really give a fuck
Rocking these diamonds, I'm rocking this chain
Make sure you get a picture, I'm rocking my fame
[Pre-Chorus]
To be what you is you gotta be what you are
The only thing I'm missing is a black guitar
[Chorus]
I'm a rockstar (Rockstar)

[Verse 2]
Six-inch walker, big shit talker
I never play the victim, I'd rather be a stalker
So baby take me in, I'll disobey the law
Make sure you frisk me good
Check my panties and my bra
Wild'n out, a crazy house
With my white jacket on
Won't you come and sign me out?
[Pre-Chorus]
To be what you is you gotta be what you are
The only thing I'm missing is a black guitar
[Chorus]
I'm a rockstar (Rockstar)

Hey

'Cause I can't wait 'til tomorrow
I'ma live my whole life in the night
'Cause I ain't got time to borrow

Rihanna released ROCKSTAR 101 on Tue May 18 2010.
According to Songfacts, Rihanna told Glamour magazine:
I was involved in a lot of the writing. I put everything I’ve wanted to say for the past eight months into my music. The songs are really personal. It’s rock and roll, but it’s really hip-hop: If Lil Wayne and Kings of Leon like my album, then...
