Famous - Denace

Babe, I get it, you know I get it, I get it

But you gotta understand I’m trying to be famous

Like I know, I know we’ll have time to chill, to hang out

I promise I’ll love you as best as I can

But I need to do this for us right now, okay

I need this, we need this, just wait

If I could fly, I would show you the world

If I had a million dollars, I would buy you those pearls

But I don’t have a dollar in my pocket so here’s a locket

I bought it at Walmart, I hope that you like it

I picked up a night shift to get you this nice gift

Hoping it might lift the cloud over your head that won’t let any light in

I know how dark the night gets but I’ll be your sidekick

Hold my hand and walk with me, I’m keeping a tight grip

It doesn’t shine like it’s supposed to

But I promise one day, I’ll buy the biggest rock on the planet

And the whole coast too just so we can tan and

This moment is only a fragment

Cause what I have planned is bigger than you can ever imagine

Cause baby, I swear, we’ll be rich in the mansion

With our very own butler like Batman, the Bruce Wayne

Just you wait when ten grand is loose change

I know we’ll make it through

Spread my wings and fly, I’m taking you

Wait till the day my bank is full

And they’ll know my name, yes it’s true

I’ll be famous soon

I know that we’re struggling right now to make ends meet

We’re a light year away from wealthy, riding on this ten speed

My bank account is empty, it tempts me

To rob a bank, but if I get caught and cops arrest me, I’m dead meat!

The rents due on the first, I can’t pay the next fee

I’m surprised you haven’t found another guy and left me

Imagining this Chrysler as a frigging Bentley

But that’s not what her friends see

I know you wanna be set free

But please baby, don’t stress me

In less than a year we’ll be stress free

Wining and dining with red meat

A house on the wet beach next to a boat with a couple jet skis

Cause that’s what you deserve, I hate it when she’s hurt

And nothing to wear so I lend her my t-shirt

I do what I can do to keep you intact, boo

Just stick with me baby, you’re the ink to my tattoo

I know we’ll make it through

Spread my wings and fly, I’m taking you

Wait till the day my bank is full

And they’ll know my name, yes it’s true

I’ll be famous soon

I’m tired of being broke, I know you hate it too

We’ve held our breaths long enough, shit our face is blue

I’ll be famous soon, I see you’re anxious too

I’m depressed, I can’t fill a fucking plate with food

The walls are caving in, I’m about to raise the roof

And fuck this city, I swear we about to escape it too

I need these DJ’s and stations to maybe play my tunes

I chase this dream to give us a place with eighty rooms

I’ve always wanted to be famous, some kinda entertainer

Like oh Denace I love him, he entertains us

But I don’t want fame to change us

I just want the money to buy us things that no job we’ve ever had gave us

You just have to be patient, success I can taste it

I promise I’ll make it, just stop the complaining

I’m in the studio, you’re stressing me out

I’m trying to give us a better life, stop texting me now

I know we’ll make it through

Spread my wings and fly, I’m taking you

Wait till the day my bank is full

And they’ll know my name, yes it’s true

I’ll be famous soon

Ten missed calls, three new texts

She knows I’m at the studio recording these new tracks

I’m trying to make a better future for the two of us

And this Grammy nominated producer just came through for lunch

Accidently heard my music from the other room

And just went coo coo nuts, flipped the fuck out

And told me I’m the best he’s heard

The rest deserve the second spot, let’s be serious

He offered me a deal on the spot

A million dollars, holy shit am I dreaming or not?

I believed in myself but still received as a shock

Yesterday I didn’t have a place to pee in a pot

Just got home to let her know we’ve beaten the odds

But to my surprise there’s a note on the fridge that went something like this

Dear Denace, I love you but I’ve given up

I hope you sleep well with my blood on the million bucks

I know we’ll make it through

Spread my wings and fly, I’m taking you

Wait till the day my bank is full

And they’ll know my name, yes it’s true

I’ll be famous soon

Walk into my room to find her lying there

With a empty bottle on the nightstand and in her hand was a locket

The one I got her around mid-March

And inside was a picture of us surrounded by split hearts

Damn, I guess you gotta be careful what you wish for
