obsession

I'm obsessed with fame and the fortune that comes with I'll either be on top or face down in a ditch I can't stay on this pace, I've gotta make a switch If I don't, then I'll cease to exist I'm chasing fame, I'm chasing riches Ain't nobody slowing me down, I burned all of them bridges Even ones that's close to me don't truly understand I'm doing this for my family so they never dirty their hands I know, know, that it seems unrealistic My ego, go, got my brain going ballistic But it's time, time, time for you to understand That this life has to go as planned Cause if it don't, then I'll feel like a failure And it's not all about the shiny houses and trailers I'm doing this so my kids kids should never lift a finger And I think that I can do that as a singer What's the point in streets of gold if I can't walk 'em while holding your hand What's the point in the afterlife if after life I'm not your man, I do this for you I'm obsessed with fame and the fortune that comes with I'll either be on top or face down in a ditch I can't stay on this pace, I've gotta make a switch If I don't, then I'll cease to exist I'm chasing fame, I'm chasing riches Ain't nobody slowing me down, I burned all of them bridges Even ones that's close to me don't truly understand I'm doing this for my family so they never dirty their hands I know, know, that it seems unrealistic My ego, go, got my brain going ballistic But it's time, time, time for you to understand That this life has to go as planned
