e.v. rose - i want you (i want the fame) lyrics

[hook] x2

i know what i want and i want it now
i want you cause i want the fame
[verse one]
my papa told me i should stop writing
i took it as a challenge i’ma keep fighting
tyson, to win the championship i’ma keep biting
lighting, up the booth hoping to inspire the youth
reciting, my lines of inspiration
if i can make it you can make it that’s the statement i’m making
don’t mistake it there will be plenty of obstacles in your way and
there will be plenty of times when you’re feeling vacant
hoes on the telly, barely getting reception now tell me
we grew up broke wishing for fame, can you blame us?
oh he’s white and from the projects that’s what he’s claiming?
what cause i ain’t black i was never poor? now who’s the one being racist?
check my records you think i’m faking? what’s the basis?
jesus christ, been thug life since i was about five
when i was younger i was a fan of sipping on five alive
but now i’m twenty five convincing myself i shouldn’t drink and drive
still got plenty to live for and besides it’s my momma’s ride
can’t afford to pay my own insurance
they -ssure us, if you’re living wealthy you’re living healthy there’s no issues
so we chasing dollar signs with the hopes that they cure us
but there’s no remedy, my soul’s lost like a tourist
truth is, the poorest are those that are too foolish to risk
and the richest those that always see the goodness in ruins
well then you can sorta describe my life like an ongoing treasure hunt
i used to settle for what they were giving out but now i’m taking what i want

[hook] x2

[verse two]
i guess i didn’t get the message
you probably wanted me to realize that in essence
i should be an adult and leave behind adolescence
it’s all fairy tales, fantasies and pipe dreams in your head since
you started this rapping thing
it doesn’t make sense
but that’s the method for dodging this matrix
i was raised thick-skinned
i’ma trail blaze pippen, fitting then i pave a lane for a kid that never fit in
square peg in a round hole, unlike these clowns though
i’m multi-sided and well-rounded, ain’t that ironic
instead of doing a bid for life at a 9 to 5
just trying to get by and survive
let me fly and i, promise this caged bird will deliver a message that can change lives
the odds i’m trying to defy, conquer and divide, share the wealth with my fam and my ride or die
better than mariah fine, this ain’t no lie i’m a stand-up guy
this divine message brought to you by the man in the sky

[hook] x4
