[Intro]
I hope you brought a parachute for the crash landing you know the fall off is no joke
Firey gravesites ain't no candlelit visuals or heimlich maneuvers when you choke
Some people pray for it, they workin' every day for it, steal for it, kill for it like a drug
Be careful what you ask for
Fame'll have your ass on the asphalt n***a
[Bridge]
It ain't even 'bout the money no more
It's 'bout the fame (fame)
What the fuck is that?
It ain't even 'bout the art no more
It's 'bout the fame (fame)
And where the fuck we at?
[Verse 1]
We lettin' the spectators integrate
Infiltrate and imitate
Going viral doesn't make you great
So let me demonstrate
The bullshit'll never cut through it just won't penetrate
The Last of the Mohicans still runnin' 'round with the renegades
The fuck is content?
I don't subscribe to that nonsense
Consuming microwavable music's bad for your conscience
It's a million and one apps you could get rich real quick
It ain't no shortcuts to success in this game unless you do it for the motherfuckin'
FAME!
[Hook]
Would you live for it? (fame)
Would you die for it? (FAME!)
Would you kill for it? (fame)
Would you kill for it?
[Verse 2]
Well it seems to me
The fame is just an extension of greed
Pitiful human beings
Lookin' for attention by any means
A million views, a million likes, a million comments
Walkin' to a labor office
They wanna talk to you about engagement on your content
All in the name of fame
All in the name of fame
All of this in the name of fame?
Fame is fleeting and it lasts 15 minutes at best
(15 MINUTES!?)
What do I see?
So many fake artists tryna be fake deep
That n***a ain't like that there's no substance every time he speaks
I smell bullshit
All of these frauds
Turn 'em off
Put 'em on mute
Or keep it on pause
Either way go turn that shit off
We don't need it
Food for thought, n***a what you eatin'?
They gon' post a lot, they gon' a show a lot what they talk about, don't believe 'em
Never turn that into a lottery
We down bad it's lookin' like a mockery
Hypocrisy, atrocity
The shit I aim is novelty
It's all in the name of the fame
It's that (FAME!)
[Hook]
Would you live for it? (fame)
Would you die for it? (FAME!)
Would you kill for it? (fame)
Would you kill for it?
[Outro]
You know everything in this life comes with a price nothing's for free
And one day you have to pay the piper for all that fake shit, soon you'll see
Be the best you can be
But be who you wanna be for the time being
Fame is a quick trip, so pack light
'Cause you won't be there long
And the checkout time is right when they stop playin' your weak ass songs
