"Claim To Fame" lyrics
Can you blame a dame for wanting a claim to fame?
I done seen people do crazy things for change
I'm tryna change the game
Back then we would listen - Wayne and Chains
All would be saying the same, it's crazy how watching the game
We always got something to say until it's time to play
We went from singing, rapping 'bout drugs and guns, chains
And now be doing the same
I thought back then we was playing - nah, we took it serious
I was George, a little curious, moving fast, a little furious
Common sense, I wasn't hearing
I mean, how could I, really?
Adrenaline kicking - impress who I thought was impressive
I did it to fit - no time to be shy or be timid
Most of 'em talk, but I did it
Don't gotta explain
You only get hype 'cause you not in the game
I saw the pain - she down for whatever
'Cause don't think no one will love her again
That's why she giving out like a handshake
Forming a bond you can't break
Unless you tear it apart - no ring
I was married to people I shouldn't have met from the start
Ready, set
You don't want enough, then you'll never get
God ain't out here approving your laziness
I told people I was waiting on God -
He like, "Boy, I'm waiting on you."
What is necessary? It is only a few
I don't blow with the wind - I'ma stand with the truth
I know it's a sin, but it's still what I do
"Well, why does this happen?"
It's 'cause I got some habits I gotta break
Can't do this on my own, need a lot of grace
I keep trying to tell - it's not a race
They keep thinking it's a fun run
All the pressure on me feel like one ton
'Cause I'm still young - but not young-young
But you know the deal
I mean, you know the deal
I mean, you know the-you know the-you know the-you know the deal
Can you blame a dame for wanting a claim to fame?
I done seen people do crazy things for change
I'm tryna change the game
Back then we would listen - Wayne and Chains
All would be saying the same, it's crazy how watching the game
We always got something to say until it's time to play
We went from singing, rapping 'bout drugs and guns, chains
And now be doing the same
