Famous
[Intro - Jazmine Sullivan]
I used to dream about cars and things
‘Bout being a star and things
I thought that I would outgrow this feeling
My dream won't go away
So it's more like a nightmare
Keepin' me up all night
Like a nightmare
It's taking over my mind
My desire burns inside like a flame
And it can't and it won't be contained
[Hook - Jazmine Sullivan]
Cause I gotta be famous
I need to be somebody
(X2)
[Verse 1 - Jack Rootes]
Deep inside, I got a fire
Fame and fortune's what I desire
Won't even think 'bout puttin' up a front
Money, power and respect's what I want
Don't want a life that's so shoddy
'Cause it's no fun being a nobody
Fame's what I want during my life
Here's what I see when I close my eyes:
Go wherever I please, feelin' so shameless
Spending big bills like I'm swingin' in Vegas
Sitting court side during the big games
And be an MVP like Lebron James
Hit songs, sick beats and killer flows
My fans greeting me wherever I go
And even if I turn off for the night
I still wake up to my name in lights!
[Hook - Jazmine Sullivan]
[Verse 2 - Jack Rootes]
But I understand what comes with fame
If you make it, life isn’t the same
Face in the papers, can’t go any place
Without the paparazzi’s cameras in your face
Maybe I’ll feel empty inside and in pain
Without a pill or a needle in my vein
I guess anything to relieve the brain
‘Till the public scandals drive me insane!
And don’t get me started on drama
Manic Stans & malicious partners
Ruining my image like bad karma
Watching my moves with cruel laughter!
Guess this is what you sign up for
For the money, the fans and a lot more
It might not be for me, honestly
But even then, famous is something I gotta be-
[Hook - Jazmine Sullivan]
[Verse 3 - Jack Rootes]
Even with the bullshit, I won’t lie
I’d get to meet those I idolise
Get turned up listening to Bobby
While I drink & party away with Robbie
While I reflect on all my dreams
In the same room with Professor Green!
Fame and the fans I’ll start to attract
As I write rhymes with Kevin Abstract
Share with Snoop & Lil Dicky some chronic
Play video games with Yachty & Logic
Working along side K-Dot, J. Cole
Sean, Royce & Joyner ‘till I turn old
Trying to be a G.O.A.T. like Eminem;
There won’t be anybody like him again!
I want to be successful, conflict free
And that’s why nowadays I gotta be-
[Hook - Jazmine Sullivan]
