Fame, cars, lights stay on you Cameras flashing for you I'd trade it all On the way to happiness What's the price of fame?
Yeah Yo, what's attracting people to a life of fame? The nights away bingeing, getting blind for days Would you expect a tidal wave of guys All disguised as mates to try to take a slice of that pie you made? When you're famous, you're the person people like to hate Are you prepared for all the rumors and the lies they say? Yo, looking back at life, I'd never thought I'd go this far Yo, I'm just thankful people welcomed me with open arms All these new friends and people that I hope to trust Try to take advantage, got me thinking what their motives are Girl, if the light's on on your iPod and it's my songs Then drive on 'cause a fan is not what I want

Yeah Imagine it, never thought I'd be having it Keep belief and be confident But stay away from that arrogance Yeah, I'm cashing in That ain't what'll bring happiness And I'm lucky, making a living off of this music That's what my passion is I could go and buy a crazy, fresh Mercedes-Benz But I would rather help my mates in debt and pay their rent Yo, I could make a trip to ATMs at 8am After I've been placing bets and partying for days on end Look what'll happen if I never see the same success Yo, in the schemes of things, I think there's better ways to spend When I was young, I saw my grandpa get laid to rest And what I've got, I'd trade it in If I could see his face again

Ain't about all the money made Think about what you wanna pay[4]
