The Fame

(专辑： The Death Of A Rapper - 2023)

I hope you brought parachute for the crash landing you know the fall off is no joke
Firey gravesites ain't no candlelit visuals or heimlich maneuvers when you choke
Some people pray for it, they working every day for it, steal for it, kill for it like a drone
Be careful what you ask for
Fame'll have your ass on the asphalt nigga

It ain't even 'bout the money no more
It's 'bout the fame (fame)
What the fuck is that?
It ain't even 'bout the art no more
It's 'bout the fame (fame)
And where the fuck we at?

We letting the spectators integrate
Infiltrate and imitate
Going viral doesn't make you great
So let me demonstrate
The bullshit'll never cut through it just won't penetrate
The Last Thing [?] still running 'round with the renegades
The fuck is content?
I don't subscribe to that nonsense
Consuming microwavable music's bad for your conscience
It's a million and one apps you could get rich real quick
It ain't no shortcuts to success in this game unless you do it for the motherfucking
FAME!

Would you live for it? (fame)
Would you die for it? (FAME!)
Would you kill for it? (fame)
Would you kill for it?

Well it seems to me
The fame is just an extension of greed
Pitiful human beings
Looking for attention by any means
A million views, a million likes, a million comments
Walking to a labor office
They wanna talk to you about engagement on your content
All in the name of fame
All in the name of fame
All of this in the name of fame?
Fame is fleeting and it lasts 15 minutes at best
(15 MINUTES!?)
What do I see?
So many fake artists tryna be fake deep
That nigga ain't like that there's no substance every time he speaks
I smell bullshit
All of these frauds
Turn 'em off
Put 'em on mute
Or keep it on pause
[?]
Turn that shit off
We don't need it
Food for thought, nigga what you eatin'?
They gon' post a lot, they gon' a show a lot what they talk about, don't believe 'em
Never turn that into a lottery
We down bad it's looking like a mockery
Its looking like a mockery
Hypocrisy, attrocity
The shit I aim is novelty
It's all in the name of the fame
It's that (FAME!)

Would you live for it? (fame)
Would you die for it? (FAME!)
Would you kill for it? (fame)
Would you kill for it?

You know everything in this life comes with a price nothing's for free
And one day you have to pay the piper for all that fake shit, soon you'll see
Be the best you can be
But be what you wanna be for the time being
Fame is a quick trip, so pack light
'Cause you won't be there long
And the checkout time is right when they stop playing your weak ass songs
