I used to dream about cars and things
'Bout bein' a star and things
I thought that I would outgrow these things
Seems my dream won't go away
So it's more like a nightmare
Keepin' me up all night
Like a nightmare
It's takin' over my mind
My desire burns inside like a flame
And it can't and it won't be contained
So I gotta be famous
I gotta be somebody
So I gotta be famous
I gotta be somebody
So tell me who you wanna be
Where you wanna be
I always say rap if you ask me
Dreamin' 'bout bright lights
Bein' out all night
Cause that was the life when I was at sheaves
So I'd ask myself
Is it worth it
Might just miss
Life's a bitch
We ain't fuckin'
But we flirtin'
That's for certain
Close the curtain
Be up all night
Doubt myself
Trade the ball for the beat
Fact
That might be bad for my health but
Gotta play the cards I was dealt uh
Start feelin' things I've never felt cause
Drop dreams and we got a little love buzz
In my buildin'
No ceilings
So right now I'm feelin'
So I gotta be famous
I gotta be somebody
So I gotta be famous
I gotta be somebody
So they told me
Go to school play it safe
That's the only way you'll make it
But if that was the case
Be a curse
Now's the time to break it
I feel like I'm in a race
Gettin' chased
Won't even look back
Don't feel safe
Black man
White state
Somehow my team still ate straight
Take food right off yo plate
We was them youngins out late uh
Coolin' with the crew
Doin' what we do
Ain't head home
Til sky blue
Eyes red piru
Now you grounded
What's new
In my buildin'
No ceilings
So right now I'm feelin'
So I gotta be famous
I gotta be somebody
So I gotta be famous
I gotta be somebody
So what's a man to do
When all he got is dreams
Tryna get to the top
But this gap between's unreal
I swear
This the pain the rich just can't feel
They just numb to it
Fuck minimum wage
Nigga you come do it
Guarantee you wouldn't last one day
From the bottom
It's only one way but
We need green and my area's grey
Screamin'
Get the fuck up out of my way
Hundred on the interstate
In broad day
No
Can't change my mind
So
Don't waste my time
Suggest you
Stay on yo shit
Cause nigga I been on mine
Tell me you ain't feelin' this
When I know I'm killin' it
Nigga I'm goin' Columbine uh
So I gotta be famous
I gotta be somebody
So I gotta be famous
I gotta be somebody
