Wanna be in the spotlight? (Yeah)
Wanna be in the public eye? (Yeah)
Free drinks, VIP shit, all that? (Yeah)
Not quite
Yeah, it's hard work, the only thing you got right
Wanna be on covers? Wanna be in the spotlight?
A message to all concerned
Think first so you won't get burned
These are some of the things I learned
Think first so you won't get burned
Keep your head together, and be cautious
The sweet smell of success can make you nauseous
Celebrities are dealing with the vital forces
That fuck up the compass, knocking boats off their courses
I hear, "Way to go, saw you on the radio
Heard you on TV last time you had a show"
I go, "Later yo, I'm glad you enjoyed
I like to be by myself now", then you get annoyed
Like, be like that, I guess my daddy's right
All you celebrities are so self-satisfied
First time it took me by surprise like Gladys Knight
Then I learned they bark is worse than they bite
But at nights, when the lights are fading dim
It's the man in the mirror, you end up hating him
At nights, when the lights are fading dim
I know frustration is a devastating thing
A message to all concerned
Think first so you won't get burned
These are some of the things I learned
Think first so you won't get burned
A message to all concerned
Think first so you won't get burned
These are some of the things I learned
Think first so you won't get burned
My name's Paleface, I'm a super duper star
Every other week I get a brand new car
It's funny, you never know who your friends are
Lose touch with reality in the back of the bar
People think you're loaded when you're doted and famed
Some get so sore that they end up loaded and maimed
Celebrities, sugarcoated and tamed
At gunpoint like house pets, loaded and aimed
We'll squeeze the trigger if you don't cooperate
Go figure how to operate
With a blown mind, turning deaf, dumb, and blind
It'll come around all that you leave behind
Sign hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of autographs
I ain't saying it's too much for y'all to ask
Two years passed, it's all changing sort of fast
You had your fifteen minutes, now it's quarter past
A message to all concerned
Think first so you won't get burned
These are some of the things I learned
Think first so you won't get burned
Think first so you won't get burned
Fame, a peculiar mixture
Of holding your own and posing for pictures
Fame, Luke 7:35, ancient scriptures
Fame, one of the worst forms of addiction
Fame, feel it oozing through the pores of your skin
Am I really undercover? Of course, if you will
And if not, we will have to use force on your chin
Fame, feel it oozing through the pores of your skin
Fame, a peculiar mixture
Of holding your own and posing for pictures
Fame, Luke 7:35, ancient scriptures
Fame, one of the worst forms of addiction
Fame, feel it oozing through the pores of your skin
Am I really undercover? Of course, if you will
And if not, we will have to use force on your chin
Fame, feel it oozing through the pores of your skin
A message to all concerned
Think first so you won't get burned
These are some of the things I learned
Think first so you won't get burned
A message to all concerned
Think first so you won't get burned
These are some of the things I learned
Think first so you won't get burned
A message to all concerned
Think first so you won't get burned
These are some of the things I learned
Think first so you won't get burned
