E.V. Rose - I Want You (I Want The Fame) lyrics

[HOOK] X2 I know what I want and I want it now I want you cause I want the fame [VERSE 1] My papa told me I should stop writing I took it as a challenge I'ma keep fighting Tyson, to win the championship I'ma keep biting Lighting, up the booth hoping to inspire the youth Reciting, my lines of inspiration If I can make it you can make it that's the statement I'm making Don't mistake it there will be plenty of obstacles in your way and There will be plenty of times when you're feeling vacant Hoes on the telly, barely getting reception now tell me We grew up broke wishing for fame, can you blame us? Oh he's white and from the projects that's what he's claiming? What cause I ain't black I was never poor? Now who's the one being racist? Check my records you think I'm faking? What's the basis? Jesus Christ, been thug life since I was about five When I was younger I was a fan of sipping on five alive But now I'm twenty five convincing myself I shouldn't drink and drive Still got plenty to live for and besides it's my momma's ride Can't afford to pay my own insurance They a**ure us, if you're living wealthy you're living healthy there's no issues So we chasing dollar signs with the hopes that they cure us But there's no remedy, my soul's lost like a tourist Truth is, the poorest are those that are too foolish to risk And the richest those that always see the goodness in ruins Well then you can sorta describe my life like an ongoing treasure hunt I used to settle for what they were giving out but now I'm taking what I want [HOOK] X2 [VERSE 2] I guess I didn't get the message You probably wanted me to realize that in essence I should be an adult and leave behind adolescence It's all fairy tales, fantasies and pipe dreams in your head since You started this rapping thing It doesn't make sense But that's the method for dodging this matrix I was raised thick-skinned I'ma trail blaze Pippen, fitting then I pave a lane for a kid that never fit in Square peg in a round hole, unlike these clowns though I'm multi-sided and well-rounded, ain't that ironic Instead of doing a bid for life at a 9 to 5 Just trying to get by and survive Let me fly and I, promise this caged bird will deliver a message that can change lives The odds I'm trying to defy, conquer and divide, share the wealth with my fam and my ride or die Better than Mariah fine, this ain't no lie I'm a stand-up guy These divine words brought to you by the man in the sky [HOOK] X4
