lirik lagu dj z – price of fame
[verse 1]
when i was young it felt like i was muted
said what they found suited and i would hide all of my music
it was toxic, an unpopular school kid, i was never the cool kid
i was never included but inside i was cool with it
i thought something was wrong with me, a permanent frown
although i scored awards and trophies hid my feelings deep down
when i needed someone to reach out to, no sound, it was a ghost town
i would sit alone on the playground, now i’m making these big sounds
h~lla loud, do you hear me now?
didn’t want to know me then, now you want to hang out
get what you give, it comes back around
be sleeping on my sound, but it don’t bring me down
felt real anxious, made me feel faceless
been through many faces, seen many two faces
been through many phases, but i’m grown up now
now i’m going places, do you hear me now?
so, trust in the process, small doses
take big leaps, when you feel closest
stick to your focus, the big moment
love your family, always keep closest
enough is enough, used to care too much
no more judging, no more grudging
life gets tough but you got to suck it up
no more fussing, no more stressing
[verse 2]
no one saw nothing in me, had to find it in myself
whenever i truly needed help, they left me to rot at the top of the shelf
so i had to trust in myself
cause i’d rather health over wealth
you would be riding right beside me if you first focused on yourself
no help
each man is in it for their own
want your company only to get known
only want to know you when they needing a loan
then closer you get, true colours be shown
that’s why i tend to keep my circle real low
you better alone do you can focus on your zone
deciphering the kids from the real ones grown
make a name outta you, without me, unknown
so, scene leave me lonely, n0body want to know me
now they see me scoring numbers, want to be my homie
100k on “icy”, climbing up on “smack dat”
all independent, what aussie rapper can match that?
top that, reach that, then i’ll give you double claps
but until then you ain’t got a crown, but a hat
i can bring bars or stick to doing club trap
want me spitting bars or to follow mainstream rap?
[chorus]
that’s the price of fame
things you gotta do to present your name
gotta brand it this way, that way, focus on the gain
rap this way, that way, playing the same game
but if this is the price of fame
things i gotta do to get a star with “zane”
if you thought i’d change myself, to play a part in the game
you must be insane, cause i’m making my way
[hook]
one day, you’ll see this through my eyes
one day, you’ll see this through my eyes
[post~chorus]
trust in the process, small doses
take big leaps, when you feel closest
stick to your focus, the big moment
love your family, always keep closest
enough is enough, used to care too much
no more judging, no more grudging
life gets tough but you got to suck it up
no more fussing, no more stressing
[verse 3]
2020, sideways
it’s brought some of the toughest days
in au we saw the haze
covid never goes away
black live matter needing change
i can’t keep my focus straight
saw my best friend in a grave
sick of fighting other people’s battles, got my own to face
my stomachs knotted with my fears, i’m tying them up like lace
deep down i know where i’m headed, dreams that i’m wanting to chase
but is it all worth it if this is the sh~t i have to face?
i am done with all the lies, give me a break before you make me break
seeing children cry, future generations is what’s at stake
hard to deny, that this world’s f’d as we know it
2020 testing my patience, this album is bout to blow it like boom
walk into the room, with something to prove
ain’t leaving till i know i approve, got nothing to lose
is fame bout the success, or bout the pain and the sorrow?
cause i never signed up to live a life like marilyn monroe
so if i die before my legacy, i don’t reach full capacity
these people looking down at me, an open coffin, blasphemy
say it wasn’t smooth sailing, but at least i tried my best
this is the price of fame, putting my soul to rest, bless
[hook]
one day, you’ll see this through my eyes
one day, you’ll see this through my eyes
[chorus]
that’s the price of fame
things you gotta do to present your name
gotta brand it this way, that way, focus on the gain
rap this way, that way, playing the same game
but if this the price of fame
things i gotta do to get a star with “zane”
if you thought i’d change myself to play a part in the game
you must be insane, cause i’m making my way
