When i grow up I wanna be famous I wanna be rich I just wanna proclaim That when i grow up I wanna be a celebrity I want the respect and the power And integrity When i grow up I wanna be famous I wanna be rich I just wanna proclaim That when i grow up I wanna be a celebrity I want the respect and the power And integrity But how bout the responsibility People hittin you up talkin bout I'm gon kill myself all because You had never mentioned me People provoking yo status Blaming you for they habits Yo check starts bein' dispersed Entirely through yo family Actually tryin to help em out But it caused insanity, Blasphemy, tragedy, brokenness, Treachery, calamity, greed, The root of an evilness Seeping through Rapidly Destroying what you once thought Would level you to be majesty Thought you was ... Workin for freedom, But not this They failed to mention with all the success In turn will bring on more challenges Never imagined This famous route Was really this damaging huh (This is only an introduction to Fame) I I WANNA BE FAMOUS I WANNA BE FAMOUS I I WANNA BE FAMOUS I WANT IT I WANT IT (I wanna be famous) I I WANNA BE FAMOUS (Yea) I WANNA BE FAMOUS I I WANNA BE FAMOUS I WANT IT I WANT IT (I wanna be famous) I hope this is great ... I hope that you feel it I'm hoping This track alone Gon save yo life once you hear it I hope this is ... Hope for the hopeless Provoked by the spirit, a stroke of conviction ... Scratch that, i ain't hoping I'm praying let's focus Soak up this wisdom A man that has gold at his tips Can soak the souls of those That struggle to get it Now Hold this attention And pose before the folk of yo century Yo actions have power they watching And react to yo business So how you gon live it? (Huh) Like An athlete, or activist Passive, Aggressive Like Manziel or Kaepernick Or like a Celebrity Who can't stay outta the tabloids By choice of being consumed by the fame Or by bein a saint Regardless You now subject to slave Bow down or succumb to the price That comes wit the power of Fame The blood of a million others Now in yo hands Be sure that it's what you want cuz It's Only an introduction to just sayin What I want (what I want, what I want) I want the Fame and the fortune But if i cannot bring no change it ain't worth nothin' It ain't worth nothin' So What I Gotta Do To keep from going broke If I deny the Fame I will never know I said wanna make a change And bring the world some hope But it ain't worth the pain Or to lose my soul (I want the fame) When i grow up I wanna be famous I wanna be rich I just wanna proclaim That when i grow up I wanna be a celebrity I want it all But it ain't worth the death of me Unless my death rests with me Fulfilling my purpose You focus on trynna gain the appraisal of people... Like Jesus Christ was worthless You want money for selfish gain And the fame to be worshipped I want money to make a change And need my fame to nurture Tap into a powerful gain And watch how money hurts you At first the sweetness attracts the bees And ceases yo burdens The fans arrive and they come so fruitful It starts to blur you That's when the yellow jackets sting And leave you out deserted Yo trust is broken down, Mind starts trippin' out Turn to drugs, now you're frozen And yo life starts dwindling down No control over what you think that you own Cuz that check Says something along the lines of You a slave no disrespect (So what they want) Once again I want it all a different way I've matched my purpose to this game And Added Christ to guide this Lane If i can't change a life for the better And free yo vision from the deception Then F the Fame ... I know My worth and works reflect up in Heaven What i want (what i want, what i want) I want the Fame and the fortune But if i cannot bring no change It ain't worth nothin' (It ain't worth nothin') So What I Gotta Do To keep from going broke If I deny the Fame I will never know I said wanna make a change And bring the world some hope But it ain't worth the pain Or to lose my soul (I WANT THE FAME) I I WANNA BE FAMOUS I WANNA BE FAMOUS I I WANNA BE FAMOUS I WANT IT I WANT IT (I wanna be famous) I I WANNA BE FAMOUS (Yea) I WANNA BE FAMOUS I I WANNA BE FAMOUS I WANT IT I WANT IT (I wanna be famous) When I grow up I wanna be famous I wanna be rich I just wanna proclaim That when i grow up I wanna be a celebrity I want the respect and the power And integrity
