Fame lyrics

[Intro]
I coulda been lawyer I coulda been a doctor but still I'm out here

[Chorus]
I was taught to keep it real and remain solid
Them peoples asking questions sh*t I just remain silent
I keep my business sealed cause these n*ggas be name dropping, Sometimes I sit up in the crib like I'm the main problem
And I got my momma in my ear like "son you need to do something Sitting around waiting on it ain't gon do nothing"
It's like time running out and I gotta prove sum
Wonder what my life would be like if I stayed in school or sum

[Verse]
Or got the out hood
And every time I miss a call they say I'm Hollywood
And when I needеd help the most I swear nobody would
And I ain't asking for no handouts and nobody should
I just set my mind on it and I gotta do it
My brother said you ain't gotta do it I'm just one call away
He said you the one you something like Penny Hardaway
That sh*t f*cked me up to see my brothers fall away
I swear to bring my brothers back I'd give it all away
And you say I don't f*ck you no you don't f*ck with me
I can count on one hand how many people check up on me
And people wonder why they don't receive no love from me
And if you taking that the wrong way then it's up with me
They show love and they glorify the rats
These n*ggas be snakes yea they a go around the back
And these other states they say don't go around the 'Raq
This sh*t ain't safe I swear you gotta watch your back
I swear I rather have money than fame any day
Cause I swear just to hate these n*ggas they find any way
This sh*t so real gotta keep that pipe can't go to any place
n*gga you would get killed better cherish yo life you can die any day
Aye I'm smarter than most n*ggas with a diploma
Even though I ain't finish school and ain't get no diploma
I told myself that I can't work a job I gotta be the owner
All these years that I been working hard but I gotta come stronger
[Chorus]
I was taught to keep it real and remain solid
Them peoples asking questions sh*t I just remain silent
I keep my business sealed cause these n*ggas be name dropping, Sometimes I sit up in the crib like I'm the main problem
And I got my momma in my ear like "son you need to do something Sitting around waiting on it ain't gon do nothing"
It's like time running out and I gotta prove sum
Wonder what my life would be like if I stayed in school or sum
