| Instant fame, is the name of the game
|
| The pieces were carefully put in place
|
| And nothing’s gonna stand in my way
|
| But he who exhibits poise and grace
|
| Is left to fend for himself in the worst of ways
|
| So make them shiver, but don’t cause a scene
|
| Do everything you can, just to look 18
|
| Never forget to convey what you mean
|
| Or just dangle from the strings of the powers that be
|
| The list goes on and on and on
|
| And the only way to stay sane
|
| Is just to bottle it up and wait
|
| For the moment you take the stage
|
| And see their hands keeping time
|
| With the rhymes that you created
|
| I’m finally worth something, I finally made it
|
| So take it all, I don’t wanna sell my soul today
|
| Look what you made me do, it happened anyway
|
| How can I find a way home?
|
| Back to the honest days
|
| So take it all, I don’t wanna sell my soul today
|
| Look what you made me do, it happened anyway
|
| You chewed me up and spit me out like I knew you would
|
| You owe me a childhood
|
| Instant fame!
|
| There was a time when I
|
| Used to dream of this life, imagine the limelight
|
| Hindsight is 20/20 and I’m losing my mind
|
| I’m fucking sick of this shit, will I be something more?
|
| Will I ever exist? |
| I will never submit
|
| And take the side of the inferior
|
| They all bestow their bodies to the earth
|
| The soil, rich with self indulgence
|
| I stand upon
|
| So take it all, I don’t wanna sell my soul today
|
| Look what you made me do, it happened anyway
|
| How can I find a way home?
|
| Back to the honest days
|
| So take it all, I don’t wanna sell my soul today
|
| Look what you made me do, it happened anyway
|
| You chewed me up and spit me out like I knew you would |
