Oh fame, they've taken everything and twisted it
Oh fame they say
You never could have resisted it
What's in a name
And everybody's jaded by fame
Oh fame again
The press has gone and made another mess of it
Oh just because they got
So much invested in it
But they say you're to blame it's your own fault
'Cos you got mixed up in fame
Oh no don't believe all that old Andy Warhol guff
It takes a lot more than 10 or 15 minutes
That's just not enough
To qualify you for
Fame, you went beyond the boundries of sanity
And every day you defy
All the laws of gravity
You ain't got no shame
'Cos you're just addicted to fame
Oh no don't you buy none of that old Andy Warhol stuff
It takes a lot more than 10 or 15 minutes
That's just not enough
To qualify you for
Fame, they're already setting up your own Watergate
Oh fame, that stalker out there is just filled with hate
You'll never be the same
'Cos everyone's corrupted by fame
Oh fame, they took away all my humanity
Oh fame got to fight
Every second of the day for my dignity
It's a spectator's game
And there ain't nothing fair about fame
Oh fame, oh fame
Oh fame say it again, fame

(David Bowie/John Lennon/Carlos Alomar)
Fame, makes a man take things over
Fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame, puts you there where things are hollow
Fame
Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame
That burns your change to keep you insane
Fame
Fame, what you like is in the limo
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, what you need you have to borrow
Fame
Fame, "Nien! It's mine!" is just his line
To bind your time, it drives you to, crime
Fame
Could it be the best, could it be?
Really be, really, babe?
Could it be, my babe, could it, babe?
Really, really?
Is it any wonder I reject you first?
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool
Fame
Fame, bully for you, chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on pain
Fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame
Fame

(whispered)
And my niggas say
We want the FAME
C'mon c'mon
[Chorus]
One thing we all adore
Something worth dying for
Nothing but pain
Stuck in this game
Searching for fortune and fame
The one thing we all adore
Something worth dying for
It's been nothing but pain
Stuck in this game
Searching for fortune and fame
[Verse 1: Tupac]
Though we exist and breathe
Some believe currency comes to g's
Stresses half the ghetto
With success comes greed [echo]
They got me hot
When they shot me
Plotted
My revenge
To increase my ends
Enemies gettin dropped
Win or lose
Red or blue
We must all stay true
Play the game nigga
Never let the game play you
And for the fame [echo]
Niggas change fast [echo]
That's a shame [echo]
What's the game
Lost souls
Who controls our brain?
Who can I blame? [echo]
The world seems strange at times
Somewhat insane [echo]
I'm hoping we can change with time
I'm living blinded [echo]
Searching for a ?? curse
I know death follows me
But I murder him first
And worse yet
With each breathe
Steps I take
Breathless
Is there a cure for a hustler with a death wish?
Cigar ashes
Coaster
Crystal glasses
We mash on them jealous bastards
With a ski mask
I'm the first one to warn them
Blast it
Wrapped in plastic
Bullshitting got his ass hit (outlaws)
Ain't nothing left now
Treated like a stepchild
Was not for me
Nothing but busters and bitches (fuck em all)
Be rocking beats
Fake in fame
[Verse 2:]
Block run and shoot slugs
We throw them back like hardballs
Without the gloves
No love for these fake desperados
And thugs I bleed to envy
Smoke and blow out they blunts
Sipping Henney
Drunk nights
And hot days
Cocking my heat
Shooting it sideways
A wife on the run
Full of common blunts
Unconditionally married
To my gun
Fulfillin' my destiny
On knees
And ones desires
Be pulling all my cabbage
Like priors
Stuck in the trance
Searching for something higher
Fortune and fame
[Chorus]
One thing we all adore
Something worth dying for
Nothing but pain
Stuck in this game
Searching for fortune and fame (FAME)
The one thing we all adore
Something worth dying for
It's been nothing but pain
Stuck in this game
Searching for fortune and fame
[Verse 3:]
Searching for fortune and fame
Lost in the rain
A lose of the game
With life the cost of the game
We forcing the change
Mother fuck flossing the chain [echo]
All the blame
Belongs to the part of the brain [echo]
That we never use nigga
Plus my heart is in pain [echo]
And if I ever lose homey
Bet I'm at it again [echo]
Outlaws don't die
So united we stand [echo]
And if family 'come a foe
All the fortune and fame [echo]
[Verse 4: Napoleon]
As I walk up in the crib
Laid to rest me head
Say some rhymes to angels
Hope they bless my bed
Hope they bless me the righteous way
Got a homie locked down
Outta town
I sent him a kite today
Man that hate in your heart
Your gotta cleanse it dog
Praying for my downfall
And I can sense it dog
I was passed down the street fame
Like glocks clocked
And keep aim
Was raised up with a clock box
And I ran with the local street gang
They say the light is faded
But still shine in the dark
You can easy been a man
But you is a boy in your heart
And that's some game that I got
From generation of game
In the road of life dog
We need to switch up lanes
Think about it
[Chorus]
One thing we all adore
Something worth dying for
Nothing but pain
Stuck in this game
Searching for fortune and fame (FAME)
The one thing we all adore
Something worth dying for
It's been nothing but pain
Stuck in this game
Searching for fortune and fame
[Verse 5:]
I can't complain
I've seen my fair share of the fame
It wont change me
Now I've got this piece of change
I feel strange
I got so use to the hood
That when I finally got out
At first it ain't feel good
I was just a baby
Still retarded from slavery
When we struggle to shovel shit
Ain't nobody saved me
Ghetto ain't made me
I made myself
Poverty raised me
Thinking ain't no help
I pray for my health
My mind
And my family too
State of myself
My grind
And my family crew
Where one hand watches the other
No we ain't blood
But we still real brothers
The struggle is real
Nothing can steal
What we build
And that remains the same
'Till that day we killed
And that's real
Life that I was aimed to be
Love by my family tree
That's fame to me
How about it
[Chorus]
One thing we all adore
Something worth dying for
Nothing but pain
Stuck in this game
Searching for fortune and fame
The one thing we all adore
Something worth dying for
Nothing but pain
Stuck in this game
Searching for fortune and fame
And my niggas say
We want the FAAAAME

Fame, makes a man take things over.
Fame, let's him lose, hard to swallow.
Fame, puts you there where things are hollow.
Fame.
Fame,
It's not your brain, it's just a flame,
That burns your change to keep you insane.
Fame.
Fame, what you like is in the limo.
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow.
Fame, what you need you have to borrow.
Fame.
Fame,
Now it's mine, it's just his line
To bind your time it drives you to crime.
Fame.
Could it be the best, could it be?
Really be, really, baby?
Could it be, my babe, could it, babe?
Really be, really, babe?
Is it any wonder
I reject you first?
Fame, fame, fame, fame.
Is it any wonder
You are too cool to fool?
Fame.
Fame,
Bully for you,
Chilly for me,
Got to get a raincheck on pain.
Fame.
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame,
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame,
Fame, fame, fame, - fame.
What's your name?
(fame, fame)
Uh-huh (Y'KNOW?)
ARF!
Uhh..
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 ya
Niggaz ain't shit, I can live on both sides of the fence
Forget what you do, when you talk, see what you really meant (aight?)
That's what I thought, them niggaz was bluffin (uh)
They talk all day but say, nothin (uh)
It gets so dark (WHAT?) haze so intense
Since this first rain it's like it's rained ever since (WHAT?)
Never got paid for a rhyme but I flow (whoo)
Never got a plate on time but I grow (whoo)
Live your life, STAY on the line but I go (UHH)
Went from doin crime to bein kind cause I know
I'm gon' 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 niggaz straight cause I'm never gon' lie
What is about who I am that makes me unforgettable (HMM)
What it is about what I've done that makes it so incredible (uhh)
"More money, more problems" -- well the fame was worse (uh-huh)
I reached out for love and what came back was thirst (WHAT?)
Blessed with the curse (uh) niggaz don't hear me
Niggaz don't hear me, Y'ALL NIGGAZ, don't hear me (uh)
What'd I just say? "Nigga g'head" - you see that?
You gots to FEEL ME to catch what I'm sayin, BELIEVE THAT (UHH!)
But leave that, alone (WHAT?)
We gon' make a nigga wanna be at, your home (WHAT?)
Oh you kinda quiet with the heat at, your dome (UHH!)
If the dog got he's gonna bring back a bone
cause we got the chrome (C'MON!)
This is what I live for, or die for
I'm the nigga with the high score, you try for
What you niggaz wanna lie for? It changes nothin
I'm true for cats, yet some strangers bluffin
Now if I take what he gave me and I, use it right (uh-huh)
In other words if I listen and, use the light (uh-huh)
Then what I say will remain here, after I'm gone
Still here, on the strength of a song, I live on (HMM)
No second-guessin on what I stood for, I was good for
stoppin niggaz from killin each other in the hood war (UHH)
Comin through showin love, throwin up (UHH)
Them cats not throwin love, you know whassup (WHAT?)
Dark Man baby, that's my name
and I gots to be the realest nigga (UHH) 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 breathin
Relatives grievin, but I ain't went nowhere
[Verse 1: Young Jeezy]F-ck these haters, I'd kill 'em all if I could
Ain't scared of none of y'all, so you know my aim good
Blowin bin Ladie in my Porsche 911
Just left Ground Zero, on my way to kush heaven
Can't slow down, too much evil in my rear view
Sometimes you wanna scream to God, but he can't hear you
And even if you did, this'll probably be his answer
F-ck you complaining about? It ain't like you got cancer
Do it for my niggas on the block that got it worse
First the love, then the hate, that just a trap nigga's curse
I betcha feel like the whole world hatin' on you
But what's the holdup? The whole world waitin' on you
(The fame,)
I wake up and feel empty
Shit make you wanna squeeze your Glock 'til it's empty
I'm already standin' on the edge, so don't tempt me
Fake motherf-ckers envy
(The fame,)
I wake up and feel empty
Shit make you wanna squeeze your Glock 'til it's empty
I'm already standin' on the edge, so don't tempt me
Fake motherfuckers envy
[Verse 2: Young Jeezy]You mean to tell me from runnin' my big mouth
That I could chill here in this big penthouse
All elevator'd up, black hardwood floors
Just to sit around and feel like it ain't yours
Your conscience gotcha feelin' like you done somethin' wrong
But the flatscreen say motherf-cker, we on
Pardon me, nigga, do you see this view?
See Ruth's Chris from here, what the f-ck's wrong wit' you
Lookin' at my Rollie, yeah, it's almost seven
Bill Gates state of mind wit' a automatic weapon
You might 'member me from puttin' on for the city
Or back when it was on two, goin' for the fitty
Opened up a few squares, opened up a few tours
Just to show niggas keys open up doors
"Oh, we don't f-ck wit' Young no mo'" Why not?
The only thing I can figure, 'cause he on top
(The fame,)
I wake up and feel empty
Shit make you wanna squeeze your Glock 'til it's empty
I'm already standin' on the edge, so don't tempt me
Fake motherfuckers envy

[Verse 3: T.I.]What up, world? Long time, huh?
Hey, look
Lately, I been off and out of sight, seldom out of mind
Ay, getcha bidne' right, and stay the hell up out of mind
I'm out my mind, tryin' to fix it 'fore I'm out of time
Don't worry 'bout me, God got me, bruh, I'm doin' fine
Another year in prison, promise this is it for me
Tryna make it through the storm, should be makin' history
No feelin' sorry for me, keep ya pity and ya sympathy
Good or bad, take it like a man, whatever meant for me
How I did it make 'em hate my spirit, they wish they could kill it
And they'll take it however they can get it
Wanna see me fulla misery, walkin' wit' my head down
"Let's decapitate 'im, then we'll see if he can wear his crown!"
(The fame,)
I wake up and feel empty
Shit make you wanna squeeze your Glock 'til it's empty

Fame makes a man take things over
Fame lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame puts you there, where things are hollow

Fame, hurts your brain, just a flame
A funny tin to dip you inside, fame
Fame, what you like is in the limo
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, what you need, you have to borrow
Fame
Fame, the dirty swine, it's just his line
He's only trying to drive you to crime, fame
Is it any wonder?
I'll reject you first

Famous, everybody wanna be famous
Most people wanna just taste it
Other people trynna just sneak in the VIP and chill with the big faces
They don't really see them changes, when the fame hits
When I'm up on the stage they sing it as soon as I step up they hate it
And I'm saying I really ain't with that complaining just look at the picture I'm painting
Yeah I pay my rent, vacation then
Take trips all around the equator then
Come back to the A hit the stage again
Then I go up in that booth where they caged me in
Feel regular but then I go insane again
If you witness the condition that my brain is in
You would see I'm in hell where Satan is
Hardest thing to do is maintain a friend
Cause everybody tryna get paid from me
But fuck it, this the entertainment biz
So let the games begin, I mean let the flames begin

Little kids just be watchin' us through binoculars
And then they go to school and copy us
But hey I'm not knockin' y'all
But how can y'all not see it's obvious
Cause cops just be plottin on us
When the paparazzi be spottin' us
Cause everybody just wanna be on MTV or BET, yo
Maybe sees an MVP or maybe even just poppin' the queen
But everybody can't be a G, O to the D
And everybody can't B, O to the B
But I don't know maybe this is just how it's supposed to be
But this is what'll happen to y'all
You know crazy and beat up trucks
The tabloids sayin' that you're hooked on drugs

SLAIN!
(You know I need the money, I will get the money
Cos I need the cash, hey c'mon gotta get it)
(You know I need the money, I will get the money
Cos I need the cash, hey c'mon gotta get it)
Fame, what you like is in the limo
Fame, take it now there's no tomorrow
Fame, what you need you'll have to borrow
Fame
Fame
Nine is fine, it plays for time
I'ma lemme hit you from be-hind
Fame, Fame
Fame
A bullet for me, I bust it for you
I love it when you grab my gun
Fame
Fame, what's your name? What's your name? What's your name?
Say my name? Say my name? Say my name?
The world's famous, rugged with the superstar persona
Rough designer, the chubby alcoholic rhymer
Big timer, I'm known in places I haven't even been
Executed styles behind men
Oh God, I preach that old Hudd City gospel
My look's hostile, hittin Remy from the bottle
The fame is like I'm possessed wit game
And everywhere I go, hos screamin my name
But I'm rollin, not that my bald head's swollen
I'm towin, ya fixed up, they'd rather see ya broken
I'm scopin often where the spotlights shine
Me and my crew drinkin tryin ta have a good time
But folks watchin, wearin khakis or Versace
They try to mack me, caught up in the papparazzi
I'ma look what the hogg had become
A top notch nigga with the fame game
Is it any wonder, I'll reject ya first
Fame Fame Fame Fame
Is it any wonder, your heart's too cold to fool
Ayo, I know it’s been a minute
But were back!!!
It’s the return of the Dozen Muthaf-ckers
Lets goooo
[Eminem]
Fame, fame, fame
I think it’s got me going crazy, ooo-ooooh
I getting lost in this game, game, game
I’m getting tired of all you naysayers, ooo-ooooh
Keep speakin’ my name, name, name
And you’ll have reason to hate me
Yeaaaah
Its like you dont want me to win
So this time i’m going in
[Verse 1]
This the life of a rah
Jager-meister and vodka
Hopping off at the club’s balcony into the crowd surfing
And when they drop me, I’m randomly socking fans
During my interviews, hocky masks, left the journalists on her ass
I’m high off Speed, driving my car at high speed
Pocket full of weed while lesbians swollow E
In the studio ignant, my engineer gon’ call police
I feel asleep on the sound board, aint did a song for weeks
And it’s ? all up in my head, giving thanks for grateful dead
Bussing in the air with 30 bitches up in my bed
I’m kickin’ em out naked, and its December
N-ggas ask me why I did it, but f-ck it I can’t remember
[Eminem]
Fame, fame, fame
I think it’s got me going crazy, ooo-ooooh
I getting lost in this game, game, game
I’m getting tired of all you naysayers, ooo-ooooh
Keep speakin’ my name, name, name
And you’ll have reason to hate me
Yeaaaah
Its like you dont want me to win
So this time i’m going in
[Verse 2]
Them boys are wildin’
Drinkin’, cussin’ and hyper smilin’
Been ridin’ for days, tour bus look like Rikers Island
Henny, Jack Daniels, spray painting a die hard fan
Little cocker spaniel, fresh outta the damn zoo
Man you, better be concious I’m backstage living it up
With a couple of sluts feeling nauseous, drinking
It’s been a couple of days since I’ve slept
My dick is sore from f-cking, when I bust there’s nothing left
Just Dozen, back on the stage
Give me my microphone
Scrapping with the audience while we perform hyper songs
Our label presented us with a plaque
Brought it on stage, and bash it to pieces with aluminum bats, thanks!
Now which one of you bitches down for the cause
Yeah I said my dick is sore but I aint say shit about my balls
Last call, then we off to the next city
Whatever I didn’t drink on my rider, bag it up and take the rest with me
[Eminem]
Fame, fame, fame
I think it’s got me going crazy, ooo-ooooh
I getting lost in this game, game, game
I’m getting tired of all you naysayers, ooo-ooooh
Keep speakin’ my name, name, name
And you’ll have reason to hate me
Yeaaaah
Its like you dont want me to win
So this time i’m going in
[Eminem]
Yeah this game has got me going crazy
F-ck it I am crazy
Whats new, what kind of f-cking glue you think I’d be if I was glue
We lost Proof, he was our groups glue but where was you when we were fallin’ apart?
You were shittin on us too
But no one but us knew we were beefing cause thats what happens
When you beef with crew, it stays in your crew
Cause its just crew, but were back now
Yeah we took our time but we punched through
Only thing were in a hurry for now is to rush you
And we back to say shit you dont got the guts or the nuts too
Pussy, go pick your pussy leaves off your cunt tree, f-ck you
Atchooo, bless you
I’m allergic to pussy, sluts too
Yeah you think you’re the shit till we flush you
Have some bullshit to readjust to
Now theres just a few of us left but it’d be unjust to rob us our just dues
So Rest In Peace to Bugz and Proof, this ones for you homies we love you
But we can’t stop now we’d have too much of our blood drew from this fame
[Eminem]
Fame, fame, fame
I think it’s got me going crazy, ooo-ooooh
I getting lost in this game, game, game
I’m getting tired of all you naysayers, ooo-ooooh
Keep speakin’ my name, name, name
And you’ll have reason to hate me
Yeaaaah
Its like you dont want me to win

Now everybody wants to have fame
But you'll pay the price if you're not plain' it by the game
Cuz this game is made up of a bunch of crazy rules,
And fools get took if they're not plaing by the rules.
Now, the Ice is kickin' it, kickin' it kickin' it like a champ,
But don't try to play me like some wet food stamp.
They say that it was a fluke,
cuz I used a fat loop,
But here's the sccop, troop
The Ice is back to make it hoop.
An' since it's 94, and now I'm back on the scene,
Escapin from the hell of takin' it to the extreme.
It's kind of strange, cuz people say you've changed...
But I never changed,
Even though I got Fame,
Yo, I'm still the same...Ugh!
Fame, I'm still the same person,
I never ever switch, an' even if I'm rich.
But now it's like an itch,
Cuz I love the music.
They say I do it for the money,
And it's funny, clockin' all the honeys;
The ones that used to dis - now they wanna kiss.
Lookin' at what my troops got,
Now they're getting their boots knocked.
Damn it's a shame - do I love 'em
No I don't "G".
A couple of yeas ago, they didn't want me
Now I got these so called friends,
It's down with the Ice,
Cuz they know I'm makin' ends.
But my real friends have been friends through the fame.
An' since I have fame ain't a damn thing changed,
Yo I'm still the same...Ugh!
And let me tell you about the pros and the cons,
Fame only lasts if you keep droppin' them bombs.
Now in the public eye - you know I'm havin' to admit it,
You become a target for a whole lot of critics.
Reporters stickin' to ya like white on rice.
Now everywhere I go they wanna interview the Ice.
Before every show it's like I'm steadily surrounded
By all of my
I'm everything you're chasing, the thing that you dream about
I'm what you really want, the shit that people read about
Niggers care for me, I make them bring the heat... For me
What? What the fuck? Who is this? Is that clear?
Cause I ain't with the gangs, what' you mean?
... I nodes that you want me, look obsessed tryin to get me
You want a ride home?... they easy try to get me
And even if you get me, are you sure u can handle me?
Many came before you but they failed they couldn't handle me
I'm the glamor, the glimpse, the scene, I m the...
I turn boys into lambs when the time's right
I'm your life, you're excited by my name
I'm what you decide, motherfucker, I'm fame
Fame? What the f,.. hey yo' how did you?
Nothing to my soul, don't tell me that I changed
'Cause in my mind I thought that I still a saint
I didn't nodes... the changes that I made
'Cause I was too busy, chasing fame, chasing fame
I'm chasing fame,
Don't tell me that I changed, 'cause I've been too busy
Chasing fame
Some celebrities' good... so they steal with me
All the nigger get high, they can't deal with me
I'm the reason why... Slap the ground
You could be a conie or be a Barbie brown
It's up to you, you still wanna fuck with me
'Cause what you win it's forever you can't... with me
I mean yeah, no, God, damn, let me think
I only wanna be famous to help me... (lead) the streets
I didn't changed your life I got you... right
You was the street too, look how I saved your life
But I had the sacrifice, I don't see my sunny light
2 or 3 weeks straight, what happened to my family life?
Welcome to the fast life
I be clubbing every night
This is what you asked for, this is what you wanted, right?
Geeh, I know, money hose, cars close,.. life
Got what you was wishing
Look into my soul, and tell me that I changed
'Cause In my mind I thought that I was the same
I didn't nodes all the changes that I made
'Cause I've been too busy
Chasing fame, chasing fame,
I'm chasing fame
Don't tell me that I changed,
'Cause I've been busy, chasing fame
Hey, watch'you doing? People looking at me different
Friends say I changed, they think I'm acting different
At first all I wanted is to get my hands on riches
Too busy chasing you, to nodes all the differences
People see me now, where they go, snapping pictures
When you go I come running tell me why you're so addictive
You're a gift, you're a curse, you feelin' like a drug
That's why I'm chasing you, I heard... out love
And I ain't who I was cause I ain't...
I ain't in the hood, I've been out damn tryin' to talk
Tell me what to do, I was cool before I blew...
'Cause now I spend my days out tryin' to catch you
I'm tryn' no be the same don't tell me that I changed
Stop fucking with my mind, you're playin' with my brain
Tell me who I am, my mother cause me...
I guess this is what they call
Fame, like to make me a name, nothing less than the best for me,
Fame, trading love for a name, ?, no one to blame but me.
You were the one who, ?, to love me,
I, ?, place,
You were the one that I needed,
?
Where are you?
Can't you hear me singing for you baby?
Where are you?
Come on back, I need you, won't you save me?
Fame, burning bright as a flame, but it drove you away from me,
Fame, whats the use of this game, if I cant have you back with me.
Making the big time, making the money, some how it don't seem to take the place of,
?, and I never see your face.
Where are you?
Can't you hear me singing for you baby?
Where are you?
Come on back, I need you, won't you save me?
Where are you?
Can't you hear me singing for you baby?
Where are you?
Come on back, I need you, won't you save me?
Fame, gonna drive me insane, it drove you away from me,
Fame, so alone with my name, even that don't belong to me.
Running away won't help me forget you,
I ? to find you and end this race so..,
Like ? is so lonely,
? one night stands that never take your place.
Where are you?
Can't you hear me singing for you baby?
Where are you?
Come on back, I need you, won't you save me?
Fame, whats the use of this game if I can't have you back with me?
Fame, all alone with my name, even that don't belong to me.
Fame, tried to make me a name, I've got no one to blame but me.
Fame, gonna drive me insane, like it drove you away from me.
Fame, tried to make me a name, I've got no one to blame but me.
[Verse 1]
They was told not to ride in Patty's +Hearse+
and stay out of Charles' +Manson+
Took Abraham's +Lincoln+ through the Todd +Bridges+ espansion
Willis +Reid+s a map that marks the spot showin
On his left George +Burns+ a blunt William's holdin
Tara +Bank+ed the money that Chaka +Khan+ed the poor
Alicia +Key+ed his car for givin Melbourne +Moore+
For the Redd +Foxx+ who bought off the block, but though twice
As Debora +Cox+ the gun cuz she beat Kelly's +Price+
When Rosa +Park+ed the truck on the farm that Kim +Fields+
Linda +Tripp+ed for tryna to walk in Lauryn's +Hills+
Water dripped outta Farrah's +Fawcett+ in the glass
She was "Superfly", Curtis +Mayfield+ her ass
Chris +Tucker+ to a show, Ted +Turner+ to a hoe
Robert +Diggs+ the beat, but ain't feelin the flow
But he signed it fast, for half of Johnny's +Cash+
+Nia Long+ed for the album to drop, cameras flashed
Tom +Sawyer+ at the Lucielle +Ball+ up at the foyer
He confronted Richard +Pryor+ to hiring his lawyer
Suge's +Knight+ removed the rook off the board
Donna +King+ was checked and Al +Sharpton+ the sword
"Wettin cream, I aint wettin fame"
"Fame is the measure"
"Rap celebs"
"The place where stars are born"
[Verse 2]
The saints marched in, Kurtis +Blow+ing his horn
Tom +Cruise+d the boulevard, Chris +Rock+ed the song
For the hundredth time, they pressed rewind to the beginning
They toast to the rhyme, the juice spilt from John's +Lennon+
They took her to Elizabeth +Taylor+ to dry clean
The lone seamstress, who was schemin on Al's +Green+
You know they shoot for the stars and buckwild
Like the kids in the yard who play with +Jane's Child+
A beautician laced Erykah's +Badu+
Sean +Comb+ed through the evidence, just to get a clue
The needle in the haystack, from outta earth this kid
The tiger would kill him once thrown in Brad's +Pitt+
Jesse +Owen+ the money from the weed Bubba +Sparxxx+
They was journeys seen far as he walked in Dick's +Clark+
Jeffery +Lyons+ stuck with a thorn from George's +Bush+
Paul +Pierce+d in the heart as the crowd pushed
Acting alone... Drew +Barrymore+ bones
of the victims, three blocks from Jim's +Brownstone+
They shared the same bowl, he caught Natalie's +Cole+d
The producer, threw the butter on Esther's +Rolle+
Dempsey +Russel+ed him down, got his jaw wide
In a instant, Brooke +Shields+ him from the gunfire
Angie +Stone+d him to death, with those vocals
Keith +Sweat+ from the workout, just from runnin local
"With CREAM I ain't with the fame"
"Fame is the measure"
"Rap celebs"
"The place where stars are born"
[Verse 3]
Larry's +Bird+ flew outta Nicholas' +Cage+
Joe +Tex+ messages from Satchel's +Paige+
Betty +Wright+ letters with ink from Sean's +Penn+
Infinite bars, you couldn't tell where the song end
Glenn +Close+ enough to quickly duck the tapes
Richard +Gere+ ripped while he was climbin Bill +Gates+
He was a southerner, posing as a, native New Yorker
The Jason +Kidd+ took his first steps in Jimmy's +Walker+
He stayed on line chattin with rap celebs
Used Bernie's +Mack+ to search Veronica's +Webb+
It cost them their life for the advice you gave
Now Pete +Rose+ lay on Vanessa's +Redgrave+
"With CREAM I ain't with the fame"
"Fame is the measure"
"Rap celebs"
"The place where stars are born"
"With CREAM I ain't with the fame"
"Fame is the measure"

Just a tattoo carved in skin, it will haunt you.
And the substance will break you.
The addictions a breakthrough.
So search for me in hell.
I could not blame you.
I'll be the one singing a love song.
You had it all in your hands, but you threw it away.
Just for the simple taste of the high that you crave.
I won't come down.
Red hair, stilettos; she smells like Chanel
and I'm a sucker for nylons.
I thought you'd never go and leave me here alone.
Still freezing in the cold a million miles from home.
Just a tattoo carved in skin it will haunt you.
And the substance will break you.
The addictions a breakthrough.
I hope this murder finds you well
at the end of the rope.
I thought you'd never go and leave me here alone
Still freezing in the cold a million miles from home.
At the of the rope we'll start over again.
At the end of the rope, from the ceiling you'll hang.
At the end of the rope we'll start over again.
Baby, look at me,
And tell me what you see
You ain't seen the best of me yet
Give me time
I'll make you forget the rest
I got more then you
That you can set it free
I can catch the moon in my hand
Don't you know who I am?
Remember my name
Fame
I wanna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly
Fame

Baby remember my name
Baby, hold me tight
'Cause you can make it right
You can shoot me straight to the top
Give me love and take all I got to give

Why I can't ride your heart till it breaks
Ooh, I got what it takes
Remember my name
Fame
I wanna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly
Fame

Getting appraise on vanity fair
I shine and smile when you watch me
You want to be like me
‘Til another one, ‘til another will come
And you’ll forget and you’ll mistreat
Fall in love with another idol
Fall away with another fool
I know your expectations
I know what I should play
You want your new sensation
‘Cmon, ‘cmon, I want to stay
Please let me be your new star now
Please hear what I say
‘Til another one, ‘til another will come
And I will face the price to pay
‘Cos everyone begins and ends like this
Everyone has to pass
In the end all is dust and all in vain
In the end there is no one left to blame
All you see is the wasted life behind you
All you see is the love you once knew...
Fame!
We love fame
Fame!
We love fame
Fame!
Fame!
(solo)
Fame!
We love fame
Fame!
We love fame
Fame!
Fame!
In the end all is dust and all in vain
In the end there is no one left to blame
All you see is the wasted life behind you
All you see is the love you once knew...
All you have is fame
All you did is fame
I have tried to follow, I have tried to lead
I have failed at everything
I have been the culprit to my selfish needs, made everything but You my King
I couldn't be any less worthy
To spend one day much less forever with You
I lift my hands just as I am, I'm letting go of false control
I lift my voice, I have no choice
My life is Yours, use me for Your fame, Your fame
I have not seen heaven, I haven't seen Your face
But I've seen Your Spirit move
And Jesus it's amazing the evidence of grace standing all around this room
I'm merely a product of mercy
The target and victim of Your perfect love
I lift my hands just as I am, I'm letting go of false control
I lift my voice, I have no choice
My life is Yours, use me for Your fame, spreading like a flame
Let every breath proclaim glory to Your name
We ain't got no name. No, we ain't got no name.
We're rough I understand 'cause there's status here to claim.
Want it in my hand. Don't want it in my head.
Searching for a win and the battle's on the way.
Hustle make you high, high! Hustle make you low.
Say I want, say I want. What I want they'll never know.
Hustle make you high, high! Hustle make you low.
All or none. All or none. All I got will make you go.
Always still longing.
We don't want the fame. Oh, we want the fame.
All the same. We're all the same.
We don't want the fame. We don't want the fame.
We don't got no shame. No, we don't got no shame.
And look we got a plan, say we never play that game.
Keep our eyes in the sand so our hearts can't be mislead.
We're herd in through their lane, holding close to what we said.
Hustle make you high, high! Hustle get you low.
Here it come. Hold it tight. Somehow we still let it go.
Hustle make you high, high! Hustle get you low.
No, I don't want. No, I don't want. Maybe just a little blow.
Always still longing.
We don't want the fame. Oh, we want the fame.
All the same. We're all the same.
We don't want the fame. We don't want the fame.
Oh, we really want the same you and I down low. Oh, we really want the fame fame!
Oh, we really want the same you and I how low. Low, are we gon' go for fame fame!
Always still longing.
We don't want the fame. Oh, we want the fame.
All the same. We're all the same.
Baby look at me
And tell me what you see
You ain't seen the best of me yet
Give me time I'll make you forget the rest
I got more in me
And you can set it free
I can catch the moon in my hands
Don't you know who I am
Remember my name
Fame

I'm gonna learn how to fly
High

Too much is not enough

Ooh I got what it takes
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly
High

Fame

Yeah, uh-uh, yeah
Bring that beat
Yeah, that's it, c'mon
Y'all ready?
Let's go
[Chorus]
Fame, what does it mean?
I don't know
Why do people wanna be famous?
Well, some for the music and the fun
Others just for the money and the girls
Fame, what the fuck does it mean?
Well, I still don't know
.
[Verse 1]
Fame, what the fuck does it mean
Nobody knows, nobody cares
As long you can
Make some mean cash
It's kinda hard being Stif-l-e-r
But I can make it through
Ad if our album flops
We don't stop
'till we get to the top
'Cause the Starlight Dragons
keep it real to the end
We're a band
With style and class
And if ya don't like us
You can kiss our ass
This group is like family
L double E, Stifler
Sonny B and Nelly G
Ya don't want trouble
With tha Starlight couple
We pound ya to tha ground
With our beat and sound
Even when we die
Fame's all over the place
So don't waste our time
And let's get high
Well, fuck it we're goin' for the top 10
Maybe ya think we suck
But really we
Don't give a fuck
One day we're al gon' die
But when I die I'll be so high
And when we die
We're rappin' like a mummy
Yeah, yeah Uh-uh, yeah
[Chorus 2x]
Fame, what does it mean?
I don't know
Why do people wanna be famous?
Well, some for the music and the fun
Others just for the money and the girls
Fame, what the fuck does it mean?
Well, I still don't know
.
[Verse 2]
Hey, yo I'm tired of people
judging black people
We're all the same
You and Me
That's how it should be
No more racism and other shit
Just a little bit
Of this will be enough
I'm from the westcoast and I'm proud
Then we all shout:
What the fuck is going on
With this word today
With these rappers today
Slate and hate's the way
So many rappers
Rappin' over cars and money
Well ain't that funny?
The Dragons only rap about life
Ya better watch yo back
Before somebody stabs ya back
Watcha gonna do
When in comes to you?
There's no way to escape
The demons you're force to gain
So watch ya back, kid
There's one rule in fame:
Fuck the game
Before the game fucks you
And that's the shit
We've been talking about
This whole rhyme
But there's more
So keep listening
Uh-uh Yeah, Yeah
[Chorus 2x]
Fame, what does it mean?
I don't know
Why do people wanna be famous?
Well, some for the music and the fun
Others just for the money and the girls
Fame, what the fuck does it mean?
Well, I still don't know
.
[Verse 3]
If ya hate us
We gon' hate ya too
Wanna know what we gon' do?
We don't care bout fame
As long we win this came
We ain't gon' stop
'till we rock this place
Fame's just a race
Rappers want to go to the top
And they don't care bout pop
Dr. Dre and Snoop Do double G
That's how we wanna be
They're the best
They don't rest
Till they're the best
That's how the Dragons wanna be
Can't ya see?
We're not that big yet
But when we're set
Y'all wanna be us
Can ya see us?
Look good now
'Cause the next time you'll bow
Y'all laugh now
But when I made it
Y'all gon' say
I know that kid
Ya don't know me now
And ya ain't gon' now me then
That's just the deal, man
What do ya think of this rhyme?
Tell me in time
[Chorus 2x]
Fame, what does it mean?
I don't know
Why do people wanna be famous?
Well, some for the music and the fun
Others just for the money and the girls
Fame, what the fuck does it mean?
Well, I still don't know
.
Starlight
Dragons
Yeah, c'mon 1 more time
[Chorus]
Fame, what does it mean?
I don't know
Why do people wanna be famous?
Well, some for the music and the fun
Others just for the money and the girls
Fame, what the fuck does it mean?
Well, I still don't know
.
Well, I still don't know
.
Well, I still don't know

Brain I see your brain and it hasn't choice
To became learned
In your brain intorelance n'ignorance
Have a solid place for operating
Your inherit those fucking forces
You're blind like a searcher of cave-mouses
My thoughts of mind that coming out
You're lost and roasted you have to goout
Another life isn't another
You don't see the light of our father
Your voice makes noise
But I used to live right there
Oh! Fame!
I hate some bullshit of your sources
So put your brain into the sea of progress
That is good to overpraise your system
'Couse you might change your deadly forces
You're blind like a searcher of cave-mouses
'Livin in your side dancin' on the right side
To flight all what I'm
I've been to New York City
And I walked the weakest roads.
Seen L.A. and its perfect salesman,
All dressed in holy robes.
And all that's left to say,
Is spread throughout this town.
You wanna get lost at the foot of my cross.
Then come on, baby.
And it's in your face,
Can read it clearly now.
Looks like I'm lost at the foot or your cross.
So come on save me.
I've been to Chicago
And don't think I haven't crossed the seas
Seen Milan and its model fashion.
It brings me to my knees.
I think I've come undone.
And all that's left to say,
Is spread throughout this town.
You wanna get lost at the foot of my cross.
Then come on, baby.
And it's in your face,
Can read it clearly now.
Looks like I'm lost at the foot or your cross.
So come on save me.
And all that's left to say,
Is spread throughout this town.
You wanna get lost at the foot of my cross.
Then come on, baby.
And it's in your face,
Can read it clearly now.
Looks like I'm lost at the foot or your cross.
So come on save me.
Work hard all your life. Gain a friend or two
'cause you know you might just need them
If your dreams are real.
Take time for yourself - find a special place
Or a time where they won't find you,
Something they can't steal.
Come in, have a chair. Man we love your sound
Yeah we love your hair. Come on boy,
Can you fill these shoes?
Step back, take a look. You could rule the world
With your style, your hooks. Come on boy,
You just can't refuse.
(Chorus)
Oh yeah here it comes.
Take a little more than the people give you.
Oh yeah, livin' like a game.
Oh no, there it goes.
Where is all the love that the people showed you?
Oh no where is all this fame?
I've seen the good times.
The limousines and cigars and fine wines
That only lead to the scars and hard times
That seem to come my way.
Payin' dues is a hard life.
Give a little more to the people who have made you.
What you are today.
(Chorus)
Baby you look at me and tell me what you see
You ain't seen the best of me yet
Give me time, I'll make you forget the rest
I've got more in me and you can set it free
I can catch the moon in my hand
Don't you know who I am?
Remember my name
(Fame)
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly
(High)
I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry
(Fame)
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
(Fame)
I'm gonna live forever
Baby, remember my name
(Remember, remember, remember, remember)
(Remember, remember, remember, remember)
Baby hold me tight, 'cause you can make it right
You can shoot me straight to the top
Give me love and take all I've got to give
Baby I'll be tough, too much is not enough, no
I'll grab your heart till it breaks
You got what it takes
(Fame)
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly
(High)
I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry
(Fame)
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
(Fame)
I'm gonna live forever
Baby, remember my name
(Remember, remember, remember, remember)
(Remember, remember, remember)
(Fame)
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
(Fame)
I'm gonna live forever
Baby, remember my name
(Remember, remember, remember, remember)
(Remember, remember, remember, remember)
Remember my name
(Fame)
I'm gonna live forever
(Fame)
I'm gonna learn how to fly
(High)
I feel it coming together
(Fame)
People will see me and cry
(Remember my name)
(Fame)
[Verse 1: Amber Rose]
Scrutinize, being blind
Excited by all the lights
The question wasn't made up
Like these rumors were made up
Can't shop for clothes or buy some cigs
Without paparazzi waiting for a flick (I see you)
This is a new situation
Now you're an overnight sensation
[Hook]
You're not ready for the fame
Ooooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You're not ready for the fame
Ooooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2: Amber Rose]
Can't deny it's just fly
Private jets flying high
Rockin'rockin' things you won't see
Tell 'em made by Givenchy
Three years ago, just a girl
Now your name is known around the world
This is a new situation
Now you're an overnight sensation
[Hook 2]
Now you're ready for the fame
Ooooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Now you're ready for the fame
Ooooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 3: Wiz Khalifa]
And you made it this year
Coming up so they hate it
Fly first class so they could get mad
You heard what they have to say but you paid it
Now you're busting out, doing your thing
In your face, cuss 'em out
Brag cause you're the one that they fuss about
You's a bad little mother shut your mouth, cause…
[Bridge]
Everything you say will
Will and can be used against you
Everything you say will
Will and can be used against you
Everything you say will
Will and can be used against you
Everything you say
It's all because of the F-A-M-E (F-A-M-E…)
You're not ready
You're not ready for the fame
Now you're ready for the fame
[Hook]
F-A-M-E, F-A-M-E, F-A-M-E, F-A-M-E
F-A-M-E, F-A-M-E
Baby look at me
And tell me what you see.
You ain't seen the best of me yet
Give me time, I'll make you forget the rest.
I got a story, and you can set it free
I can catch the moon in my hand
Don't you know who I am?
Chorus:
Remember my name (Fame)
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly (High)
I feel it coming together
People will see me and die (Fame)
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame (Fame)
I'm gonna live forever
Baby, remember my name
Remember, Remember, Remember, Remember,
Remember, Remember, Remember, Remember
Baby hold me tight
And you can make it right.
You can shoot me straight to the top
Give me love and take all I got.
Baby I'm in love
Too much is not enough
I surround your heart to embrace
You know I got what it takes.
Repeat chorus
