Verse 1

Told my momma I would pay the bills, one day
Told my family I'd make it real, one way
Now we're here they ask me how it feels, okay
But this reality it isn't real, no way
'Cause with this hand that you were given
You're made to be a victim
You're changed to be a version of yourself
That is envisioned
Man they play you like a show prop
What happens when the show stops
I swear I'm sick of hip-hop
Sometimes I wanna kick rocks
'Cause I've been on the road since I was just under twenty
Sleeping on air mattresses and making no money
I've just been doing it for love and hoping it would come back
But all I get is criticism 'cause I'm different in rap
And I know they don't understand me
They try to underhand me
Not knowing this is all I have, I live without a plan b
It's more than just a track, but they don't give a crap
I gave my life to this music, tell me what it give me back

Chorus

I spent all my life chasing fame
All my nights turn to days
I feel like I've been wasting away
And I still can't find my way
I just spent all my life chasing fame
All my nights turn to days
I feel like I've been wasting away
And I still can't find my way
Keep chasing fame
Keep chasing fame

Verse 2

All I wanted was to show the world that they could become
Anything they ever dreamed of if they lifted a thumb
If they lifted a hand, if they got up and ran
If they came up with a plan but maybe it's just a fantasy
See, I'm losing my faith
Been doing it too long running in the same place
Hoping for a breakthrough
But sadly it don't take two
It takes a million
To really push it through the ceiling
And I don't have it, I'm rapping broke as a joke
And I'm just hoping someone out there hears the words that I've spoke
And maybe they'll appreciate this little glimmer of hope
And be inspired to go further than I could ever go
And yo', I need reminded why I try it
'Cause now I'm in my thirties and it's hard to justify it
Gets harder to deny it, all my friends are getting silent
'Cause they know that time is ticking
If it's there you better find it

Verse 3

They told me fame was fleeting
But I ignored the meaning
'Cause I'd turn on the tv
Close my eyes and I could see me
Dreamed about it every day
I always pictured going
'Cause I came from very little and there wasn't much for showing
But now that I look back, I'd take a different path
I'd learn to be appreciative of what I've always had
'Cause there's a chance I'll never see these dreams unfold
So the journey alone should be worth it's weight in gold
That is, if you choose the right road
