Fame Lyrics

Uh-huh
You know!
Oww!
Uh

Take it for what it′s worth (Uh), my birth was a blessin'
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 tell you that you′re bright and say you have a future
When you turn your back, same cats'll try to shoot ya (Uh)
Niggas ain't shit, I can live on both sides of the fence
Look at what you do when you talk, see what you really meant (A′ight?)
That′s what I thought, you niggas was bluffin' (Uh)

You talk all day but say nothin′ (Uh)
It gets so dark (What?), pain so intense
Since this first rained, it's like it′s reigned ever since (What?)
Never got paid for a rhyme, but I flow
Never got a plate on time, but I grow
Nigga, life stay on the line, but I go
Went from doin' time to bein′ 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 think a nigga 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 think a nigga straight 'cause I′m never gon' lie

What is it about who I am that makes me unforgettable? (Yo)
What is it about what I've done that makes it so incredible? (Uh)
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), niggas don′t hear me (Uh)

Niggas don′t hear me, y'all niggas don′t hear me (Uh)

What I just said? Niggas don't hear you

See that? You gots to feel me to catch
What I′m sayin', believe that (Uh)
Leave that alone (What?)
You gon′ make a nigga wanna be at your home (What?)
Oh, you kinda quiet with the heat at your dome (Uh)
Let the dog out, he's gonna bring back the bone
'Cause he got the chrome (Come on)
This is what I live for, would die for

I′m the nigga with the high score, you try for
What you niggas wanna lie for? It changes nothin′
I'm true, you cats is some strangers bluffin′

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 think a nigga 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 think a nigga straight ′cause I'm never gon′ lie

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)
Then what I say will remain here after I'm gone

Still here on the strength of the song, I live on (Mmm)
No second guessin′ on what I stood for, I was good for
Stoppin' niggas from killin′ each other in the hood or
Comin' through showin' love, throwin′ up (Uh)
Them cats not throwin′ up, you know what's up (What up?)
Darkman, baby, that′s my name
And I gots to be the realest nigga (Uh) up in this game
This 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
Listen to the song, I′m right there

I′m gonna live forever (Uh), 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 think a nigga 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
