Chasing Fame

作词 : Steven Cooper

作曲 : Steven D Cooper

Told my momma I wuold pay the bills,one day

Told my family I'd make it real,one way

Now we're here they ask me how it feels,okay

But this reality it isn't real,no way

Cause with this hand that you are given

You're made to be a victim

you're changed to be a version of yourself that is envisioned

Man they play you like a show prop

What happens when the show stops

I swear I'm sick of hip-hop

Sometimes I wanna kick rocks

Cause I've been on the road since I was just under twenty

Sleeping on air mattresses and making no money

I've just been doing it for love

And hoping it would come back

But all I get is criticism cause I'm different in rap

And I know they don't understand me

They try to understand me

Not knowing this is all I have

I live without a plan B

It's more than just a track

But they don't give a crap

Gave my life to this music tell me what if give me back

I spent all my life chasing fame

All my nights turn to days

I feel like I've been wasting away

And I still can't find my way

I just spent all my life chasing fame

All my nights turn to days

I feel like I've been wasting away

And I still can't find my way

Keep chasing fame...

All I wanted was to show the world that they could become

Anything they ever dreamed of if they lifted a thumb

If they lifted a hand,if they got up and ran

If they came up with a plan

But maybe It's just a fantasy

See I'm losing my faith

been doing it too long running in the same place

Hoping for a breakthrough

But sadly it don't take two

It take million to really push it through the ceiling

And I don't have it

I'm rapping broke as a joke

And I'm just hoping someone out there

Here's the words that I've spoke

And maybe they'll appreciate this little glimmer of hope

And be inspired to go further than I could ever go

And yo,need reminded why I try it

Cause now I'm in my thirties

And it's hard to justify it

Gets harder to deny it

All my friends are getting silent

Canse they know the time is ticking if it's there you better find it

Spent all my life chasing fame

All my nights turn to days

I feel like I've been wasting away

And I still can't find my way

I just spent all my life chasing fame

All my nights turn to days

I feel like I've been wasting away

And I still can't find my way

Keep chasing fame...

They told me fame was fleeting

But I ignored the meaning

Cause I'd turn on the TV close my eyes and I could see me

Dreamed about it every day

I always pictured going

Cause I came from very little

And there wasn't much for showing

But now that I look back

I'd take a different path

I'd learn to be appreciative of what I've always had

Cause there's a chance I'll never see these dreams unfold

So the journey alone

Should be worth it's weight in gold that is

If you choose the right road

All my life chasing fame

All my nights turn to days

I feel like I've been wasting away

And I still can't find my way

I just spent all my life chasing fame

All my nights turn to days

I feel like I've been wasting away

And I still can't find my way

Keep chasing fame...
