Fame

You know?

Uh

Take it for what it's worth

My birth was a blessing

Sent to live and die

On earth as a lesson

We each have a star

All we have to do is find it

Once you do, everyone who sees it

Will be blinded (What?)

They'll tell you that you're bright

And say you have a future

When you turn your back

Same cats'll try to shoot you

**** ain't shit

I can live on both sides of the fence

Forget what you do

When you talk, say what you really meant

That's what I thought

Them **** was bluffing

Talk all day, but say

Nothing, it gets so dark

Haze so intense

Since this first rain, it's like it's rained ever since

Never got paid for a rhyme, but I flow

Never got a plate on time, but I grow

Live your life, stay

On the line, but I go

Went from doing crime to being kind

'Cause I know

I'm gonna live forever

I'm never gon' die

Only thing I fear is that I'm never gon' fly

Carry my weight, but I'm never gon' cry

Shit, I tell y'all **** straight

'Cause I'm never gon' lie

I'm gonna live forever

I'm never gon' die

Only thing I fear is that I'm never gon' fly

Carry my weight, but I'm never gon' cry

Shit, I tell y'all **** straight

'Cause I'm never gon' lie

What is it about who I am

That makes me unforgettable?

What is it about what I've done

That makes it so incredible?

Mo' money, mo' problems

Well, the fame was worse

I reached out for love

And what came back was thirst

Blessed with the curse, uh

**** don't hear me, uh

**** don't hear me

Y'all **** don't hear me, uh

What'd I just say?

****, go 'head

You see that?

You gots to feel me to catch what I'm saying

Believe that, uh!

But leave that alone

You gon' make a **** wanna be at ya home

Oh, you kinda quiet

With the heat at your dome

If the dog got, he's gonna bring back a bone

'Cause we got the chrome

This is what I live for

We die for

I'm the **** with the high score

You try for

What you **** wanna lie for?

It changes nothing

I'm true for cats

Yet, some strangers bluffing

I'm gonna live forever

I'm never gon' die

Only thing I fear is that I'm never gon' fly

Carry my weight, but I'm never gon' cry

Shit, I tell y'all **** straight

'Cause I'm never gon' lie

I'm gonna live forever

I'm never gon' die

Only thing I fear is that I'm never gon' fly

Carry my weight, but I'm never gon' cry

Shit, I tell y'all **** straight

'Cause I'm never gon' lie

Now, if I take what He gave me

And I use it right

In other words, if I listen and

Use the light

Then what I say will remain here

After I'm gone, still here

On the strength of a song

I live on

No second guessing on what I stood for

I was good for

Stoppin **** from killing each other

In the hood war

Coming through, showing love

Throwing up

Them cats not throwing love

You know what's up

Dark man, baby

That's my name, and I gots to be

The realest **** up in this game

'Cause ain't no shame

They don't make 'em like this no more

Real to the core

Big heart, but built for war

I stand for what I believe in

Even if what I believe in stops me from breathing

Relatives grieving

But I ain't went nowhere

Listen to the song, I'm right there

I'm gonna live forever

I'm never gon' die

Only thing I fear is that I'm never gon' fly

Carry my weight, but I'm never gon' cry

Shit, I tell y'all **** straight

'Cause I'm never gon' lie

I'm gonna live forever

I'm never gon' die

Only thing I fear is that I'm never gon' fly

Carry my weight, but I'm never gon' cry

Shit, I tell y'all **** straight

'Cause I'm never gon' lie
