Fortune & Fame (feat. Howling John Stone)

You got a lot for fortune and fame

We don't need to know your name

He's always looking hard and careful, not about the money and the power

You got a lot for fortune and fame

We don't need to know your name

He's always looking hard and careful, not about the money and the power

This here is wise, it's time to reclaim the game

Sit up in the shadows and rebel against fame

If you think I'm only living for the fame, well, that's wrong, the fortune, the fame

This here is wise, it's time to reclaim the game

Sit up in the shadows and rebel against fame

If you think I'm only living for the fame, well, that's wrong, the fortune, the fame

I work for top-notch lyricism, 'cause I be spittin' wisdom

Sometime my lyrics flow like dead D's that never listen

I wanna take you there, and make you all aware

It's not the mother flippin' flow patent debonaire

(It's not about the Tory)

There been an easy way

To make a living, when ya living, wanna make it pay

I've seen careers disappear in this situation

Dedication be the name across my chest-a-blazing

I've seen these people come, (I've seen these people go)

I watch their lives just crumble, in the summer crew

But do you know what it's really like to live this life?

I dedicate my struggle to the Downsyde

You got a lot for fortune and fame

We don't need to know your name

He's always looking hard and careful, not about the money and the power

You got a lot for fortune and fame

We don't need to know your name

He's always looking hard and careful, not about the money and the power

(So where you at?)

It's never for the fortune and fame

(Not for the cash)

Not for people calling ya name

(We get on by)

Every night through the highs and the lows

(It never dies)

Through the mind when the eyes be closed

(Is it love?)

Ah yeah, and the passion and heart

(Is it too much?)

We make the sacrifice for the yard

(We made a mark)

Hard yards, we were building the scene

(From the start)

Fulfilling our dreams

You got a lot for fortune and fame

We don't need to know your name

He's always looking hard and careful, not about the money and the power

You got a lot for fortune and fame

We don't need to know your name

He's always looking hard and careful, not about the money and the power

(Keep on moving)

Movin' or not, we rising like the heat of the sun

(Keep on pushing)

Keep on pushin' day to day, like the beat of the drum

(Keep on living)

We're livin' for the now, since the day we begun

(Keep on dreaming)

Of the freedom we believe in, till the day that we're done

I'm just a common man that struggles to live

In the land of dramas, swimming through puddles and shit

Driving the car that could fall apart, and that means skids

Even an uncommon wagon with a family of kids

You rather hand me a pink through, and Centrelink payments

Or chase materials or minimum wages

And to be born in the economical matrix

And then to make it as king of the social game, it's

Lame how it's played, get to step on your neighbours

In the stakes and matters game, and everyone's playing

(Ah, money and power), we all strive to make it

But understand me 'cause I'll make you famous

(Is it for the fame?)

You got a lot for fortune and fame

(Stake your claim)

We don't need to know your name

(Play the game)

He's always looking hard and careful, not about the money and the power

(Is it for the fame?)

You got a lot for fortune and fame

(Stake your claim)

Some things you never change

(Play the game)

He's always looking hard and careful, not about the money and the power

Is it for the fame?
