hey the price of fame cost to much
like these niggas talk to much

even tho my head in the clouds
i'm planted on the pavement
how i walk around people
starring in amazment
i play alotta game a well being
i ain't playing wit it
they so judgemental man
but they don't understand
if ya life was in jeperady
erryday is you tellin me
you wouldn't need weaponry
just because of ya felony's
consider this at least
i got everybody sweating me
on the streets theres people
who won't rest unless i rest in peace
killed my folk a year ago
still in my sleep they threatin me
peranoid ya stressin me
ain't nobody protecting me
i'm dealing wit the pressure
from my partner dieing next to me
niggas know i was arrested
they coming for me eventually
this was all the things that
i was goin thru mentally
this could be the reason
i ignore the penitionary
not mentioning new orlean
niggas comin in the city
killin all summer long
ain't nobody pay attention
now is it that hard to understand
if you listen either die or
go to jail that's a hell of decision
but i'm wrong and i know
it my excuses unimportant
i'm just tryna let you know
that i ain't think
i had a choice
i had straps in my ride
gotta go to prison

and everything settle
can't afford the price of fame
cause it cost too much

i'm a man i ain't perfect
i admit it i'm guilty
but understand feel me

cuz niggas out there plottin to
rob me and kill me
500000 erry year spent on security
my future was bright
but now its gettin blury
cuz niggas in a hurry to
find me and bury me
but surely God'll
deliver me up out it
i'm a fighter till the heart
i'll foreva be about it
i'm a father to my sons
as it to my community
look all that i done my good
out weigh the negativity
ey mentally i was focused on
that littin history reapet itself
thats why he was kept in a vicinity
yes offically i broke the law
but not maliciously
through all the publicity
was anyone considerate
my position and the logic
hidden my decision
but they caught me wit em now
