Fame Lyrics by Dmx

Fame

[dmx]
Uh-huh [yknow? ]
..
Arf!
Uhh..

Take it for what its worth, my birth was a blessing
Sent to live and die, on earth as a lesson
We each have a star, all we have to do is find it
Once you do, everyone who sees it will be blinded [what? ]
Theyll tell you that youre bright, and say you have a future
When you turn your back, same catsll try to shoot ya
Niggaz aint shit, I can live on both sides of the fence
Forget what you do, when you talk, see what you really meant [aight? ]
Thats what I thought, them niggaz was bluffin [uh]
They talk all day but say, nothin [uh]
It gets so dark [what? ] haze so intense
Since this first rain its like its rained ever since [what? ]
Never got paid for a rhyme but I flow [whoo]
Never got a plate on time but I grow [whoo]
Live your life, stay on the line but I go [uhh]
Went from doin crime to bein kind cause I know

Chorus: dmx [repeat 2x]

Im gon live forever, Im never gon die
Only thing I fear is that Im never gon fly
Carry my weight but Im never gon cry
Shit I tell yall niggaz straight cause Im never gon lie

[dmx]
What is about who I am that makes me unforgettable [hmm]
What it is about what Ive done that makes it so incredible [uhh]
more money, more problems well the fame was worse [uh-huh]
I reached out for love and what came back was thirst [what? ]
Blessed with the curse [uh] niggaz dont hear me
Niggaz dont hear me, yall niggaz, dont hear me [uh]
Whatd I just say? nigga ghead - you see that?
You gots to feel me to catch what Im sayin, believe that [uhh!]
But leave that, alone [what? ]
We gon make a nigga wanna be at, your home [what? ]
Oh you kinda quiet with the heat at, your dome [uhh!]
If the dog got hes gonna bring back a bone
Cause we got the chrome [cmon!]
This is what I live for, or die for
Im the nigga with the high score, you try for
What you niggaz wanna lie for? it changes nothin
Im true for cats, yet some strangers bluffin

Chorus

[dmx]
Now if I take what he gave me and i, use it right [uh-huh]
In other words if I listen and, use the light [uh-huh]
Then what I say will remain here, after Im gone
Still here, on the strength of a song, I live on [hmm]
No second-guessin on what I stood for, I was good for
Stoppin niggaz from killin each other in the hood war [uhh]
Comin through showin love, throwin up [uhh]
Them cats not throwin love, you know whassup [what? ]
Dark man baby, thats my name
And I gots to be the realest nigga [uhh] up in this game
Cause aint no shame, they dont make em like, this no more
Real to the core, big heart but built for war
I stand for what I believe in
Even if what I believe in stops me from breathin
Relatives grievin, but I aint went nowhere
Listen to the song [cmon] Im right there

Chorus
