[00:00.23]Chasing Fame - Steven Cooper
[00:27.74]Told my mama I would pay the bills
[00:29.92]One day told my family I'd make it real
[00:32.65]One way now we're here they ask me how it feels
[00:35.25]Okay but this reality it isn't real
[00:38.21]No way 'cause with this hand that you were given
[00:40.45]You're made to be a victim
[00:41.80]You change to be a version of yourself that is envisioned
[00:44.56]Man they play you like a show prop
[00:46.17]What happens when the show stops?
[00:47.52]I swear I'm sick of hip-hop
[00:48.83]Sometimes I wanna kick rocks
[00:50.25]'Cause I've been on the road since I was just under 20
[00:52.85]Sleeping on their mattresses and making no money
[00:55.50]I just been doing it for love and hoping it would come back
[00:58.27]But all I get is criticism 'cause I'm different in rap
[01:01.04]And I know they don't understand me
[01:02.63]They try to underhand me
[01:04.17]Not knowing this is all I have I live without a plan B
[01:07.01]It's more than just a track but they don't give a crap
[01:09.57]I gave my life to this music tell me what it give me back?
[01:12.47]I spent all my life chasing fame
[01:15.35]All my nights turn to days
[01:17.47]I feel like I've been wasting away away
[01:20.89]And I still can't find my way
[01:22.95]I just spent all my life chasing fame fame
[01:26.43]All my nights turn to days
[01:28.43]I feel like I've been wasting away fame
[01:32.11]And I still can't find my way
[01:34.02]Keep chasing fame fame fame
[01:36.91]Keep chasing fame
[01:40.42]All I wanted was to show the world that they could become
[01:43.04]Anything they ever dreamed of if they lifted a thumb
[01:45.85]If they lifted a hand if they got up and ran
[01:48.61]If they came up with a plan but maybe it's just a fantasy
[01:52.35]See I'm losing my faith
[01:54.34]Been doing it too long running in the same place
[01:57.16]Hoping for a breakthrough
[01:58.59]But sadly it don't take two
[02:00.03]It takes a million
[02:00.99]To really push it through the ceiling
[02:02.75]And I don't have it
[02:03.92]I'm rapping broke as a joke
[02:05.28]And I'm just hoping someone out here's the words that I spoke
[02:08.04]And maybe they'll appreciate this little glimmer of hope
[02:10.78]And be inspired to go further than I could ever go
[02:13.63]And yo
[02:14.27]And yo need reminder why I try it
[02:16.62]'Cause now I'm in my 30s and it's hard to justify
[02:19.35]Gets harder to deny it all my friends are getting silent
[02:22.15]'Cause they know the time is ticking if it's there you better find it
[02:25.12]Spent all my life chasing fame fame
[02:27.87]All my nights turn to days
[02:29.77]I feel like I've been wasting away away
[02:33.37]And I still can't find my way
[02:35.36]I just spent all my life chasing fame fame
[02:39.03]All my nights turn to days
[02:40.94]I feel like I've been wasting away fame
[02:44.69]And I still can't find my way
[02:46.53]Keep chasing fame fame fame
[02:49.48]Keep chasing fame
[02:53.23]They told me fame was fleeting but I ignored the meaning
[02:55.69]'Cause I turned on the TV closed my eyes and I could see me
[02:58.66]Dreamed about it every day I always picture going
[03:01.33]'Cause I came from very little and there wasn't much for showing
[03:04.11]But now that I look back I take a different path
[03:06.83]I've learned to be appreciative of what I've always had
[03:09.64]'Cause there's a chance I'll never see these dreams unfold
[03:12.24]So the journey alone should be worth it's weight in gold
[03:15.15]That is if you choose the right road
[03:18.15]Right road
[03:18.84]Right road
[03:24.04]All my life chasing fame fame
[03:26.52]All my nights turn to days
[03:28.38]I feel like I've been wasting away away
[03:32.10]And I still can't find my way
[03:33.78]I just spent all my life chasing fame fame
[03:37.76]All my nights turn to days
[03:39.54]I feel like I've been wasting away away
[03:43.17]And I still can't find my way
[03:45.01]Keep chasing fame fame fame
[03:47.93]Keep chasing fame
