Chasing the Fame


Got no money, job or car But I know I’ll make it far I’m about my education But I’m reaching for the stars Everyone will know my name The epitome of fame I’ll be the one making a difference While you all just stay the same I remember the times, The good and the bad Wishing to get the things that I never had So I’m stepping up now Know what I want for my life And if I fall outta line I know my family’s behind When I make it Best believe I won’t forget my friends They been here since the beginning Hope they never see it end Everybody wants to make it But not put in the work So they see their friends get famous While they’re left in the dirt They make the money and the headlines Yeah they get all the perks I know you don’t like what I’m saying Cause you know the truth hurts
