(Verse) |
|
Running like a fool I got a demo tape |
|
Headin to a label on a low key ******* race |
|
Gotta be on time, gotta go do show phase |
|
Kinky lick, gotta go for cold tape |
|
Man they sure want me to do a song for the whole place |
|
Without a microphone, DJ and no stage |
|
Someone put my products on my pockets of jose |
|
Knowin inside of my heart these people are so fake |
|
Pictures of New York, skyliners are back dropped |
|
23 floor up, pound lookin at cap tops |
|
I’m so ******* nervous that I can’t even act now |
|
Thinkin jumpin out this window ain’t such a bad drop |
|
Smakin the black top cuz I’m on the have a lot |
|
I’m just a have not |
|
This in my time and am I lookin at that watch |
|
It could be the end of it all, maybe my last shot |
|
But I got a funny feeling it ain’t right |
|
I tell my manager but he just thinkin it’s stage fright |
|
Minus the ******* sweat that’s drippin off of my face |
|
I realize if I do it then it’s only for a price |
|
Doin my cookin, add a ho with a big bite |
|
Em other be kitchen, dealin for late night |
|
Do they realize I’m in terrible shape right? |
|
Can’t even afford to get my little boy a bike |
|
I sit down in front of LA Lee |
|
The president of death, you ain’t the boss performin |
|
Into my left a KP and 30 of egganaughts who walk foreign |
|
He say Yelawolf is an emcee from Alabama |
|
Yelawolf you can have the floorin |
|
I told him if you wanna see me seen |
|
Come catch me tourin but I ain’t performin for the fame |
|
(Bridge) |
|
It’s just like that |
|
Fame fame fame |
|
I lost a deal with Death Jam |
|
Fame fame fame |
|
And I went home on Christmas broke |
|
I didn’t know what the ******* to do man |
|
Fame fame fame |
|
*******t |
|
Fame fame fame |
|
(Hook 1) |
|
Money comes and goes just like the falling rain |
|
Frederico go get outside and collect the change |
|
Someday we’ll look back and think what have we gained? |
|
And the whole we can say |
|
More than fame |
|
(Verse) |
|
What’s the use in complainin about the decision I made if it’s rainin |
|
Then ******* it, pull the umbrella out, haters entertaining |
|
I’mma ball for them focused |
|
Got a lot of shows I gotta go hit |
|
In the back of my mind I’m thinkin did I blow it? |
|
But you notice all the people you roll with are losing their focus because of my ego |
|
‘Cause I’m hopeless, won’t listen to nobody |
|
They sit and go on about how I won’t make it |
|
You won’t make it |
|
I keep ******* up relation*******ps with executive folks |
|
With these checks to cut for deals, I’d be broke and |
|
Stuck in the south with nothing but my old *******t |
|
And no new whips, new house, new clothes |
|
New dough, you know you gotta go face it |
|
Look er in the eye, say I’m sorry for ******* up |
|
These rappers are coming up |
|
What you gonna do about it? |
|
Just sit back and watch em and get up and make a move about it, be about it |
|
See it’s about the way you committed, now you gotta go and get it |
|
I got a question |
|
Are ******* up? Answer |
|
******* yea |
|
I ain’t about to be another white boy stuck here |
|
Hit the road, do any ******* show that I could get overseas |
|
Let’s go Canada, let’s go south by south-west |
|
Yelawolf expo, kill that, made it mine |
|
Focus, let’s roll |
|
Never lay when the mama tryin to get a hold |
|
None of em have me, and here come Interscope |
|
(Interlude) |
|
Yea |
|
Then I got a deal |
|
You know? |
|
I don’t know |
|
I guess integrity goes a long way man |
|
Gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em |
|
Shady Records |
|
So american |
|
(Hook 2) |
|
Just give me some place that I can hang |
|
Somewhere way back in the back to drink a drink |
|
You ain’t gotta tell me that I ain’t the same old same |
|
I’ve seen some things |
|
We won’t change |
|
(Hook 1) |
|
Money comes and goes just like the falling rain |
|
Frederico go get outside and collect the change |
|
Someday we’ll look back and think what have we gained? |
|
And the whole we can say |
|
More than fame |
