Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Welcome to your name in lights
All the lighters in the sky
You must be famous
This is how you live your life
Different city every night, ay
You must be famous, famous
Famous
[Verse 2]
I'ma be on the TV momma, Pac voice
People point at me say, "Oh my God"
They got a point, tried to blow my nose, I blew my mind
That's mind blowing
And gold diggers dig until they find oil, an I'm sittin' here
Reading what Was written about what I do, what I didn't
I ruined relationships before my image
But all I ever wanted was everybody's attention
'Cause most people are nobody, till somebody kill 'em
Probably thought that my career, be short and sweet
Wishin' I was in your shoes, I'd take them off and find a beach
And superstars don't sparkle, we high beam
And you can't spell fame, without me
And made my Hall of Fame speech
Be short and sweet, like thank God, fuck fame
And thank me 'cause superstars don't sparkle, superstars beam
I was your main man, till I went mainstream
I'ma be on the TV momma
[Verse 3]
Welcome to your name in lights (Woo!)
All the lighters in the sky (I must be famous)
You must be famous (Yeah)
(Oh my God I must be famous)
This is how you live your life (Yeah)
Different city every night (I must be famous)
You must be famous
Fame
[Verse 4]
Rich and famous, it's better to be rich and famous
Message to my lawyer, don't let me make these bitches famous
You know entertainers, sex drugs and entertainment
Get so instantaneous
Simultaneous, miscellaneous, party long and hard
And pray that it's quick and painless livin' in the spotlight
Twistin' life up when it's blinking, I'm never alone
I got my demons and my angels
Can't talk to myself 'cause mama said don't talk to strangers
Relatives, ain't seen 'em since the grass been greener
And some people say I changed but they can't hear me jingle
I want Tina and Nancy, I get Nancy and Tina
Never question myself unless I ask if I'm dreamin'
The fan mail and subpoenas, jail cells to arenas
Car wash to the cleaners, Walmart to Neiman's
They told me time would tell I told time to kiss my ass
And I heard can you look this way?
Can you look this way?
Flash! I must be famous
[Verse 5]
Welcome to your name in lights (Yeah)
All the lighters in the sky (You must be famous)
You must be famous (I'ma be on TV mama!)
This is how you live your life (Yeah, yeah)
Different city every night
(Oh my God I must be famous)
You must be famous
Fame
[Verse 6]
You probably thought that my career, be short and sweet
You wish that I was in your shoes, I'd take them off 'cause life's a bitch
And superstars don't sparkle, we shine deep
And you can't spell fame
Without me and made my Hall of Fame speech
Be short and sweet, like thank God, fuck fame
And thank me 'cause superstars don't twinkle
Superstars gleam
I was your main man, till I went main stream
I'ma be on the TV momma
[Verse 7]
Welcome to your name in lights
All the lighters in the sky (Oh my God I must be famous)
You must be famous
(Oh my God I must be famous)
This is how you live your life
Different city every night (Oh my God I must be famous)
(Oh my God I must be famous)
You must be famous
Famous
[Verse 8]
Kiss my motherfuckin' ass
