4. Famous

If you knew how many times I’ve been thrown away 
You might understand why I wanna be famous 
Reading Baldwin the other day
Well nigga I’ll be damned I think it’s better to be nameless
I’ve been through sleep nights and
Lived in solitary confinement 
They say no man an island 
But your ultra violence 
Got me super quiet
Sometimes that’s just what is required 
To be young, to be oh so childish 
Be my siren, be my Peter Piper
Pick a pepper sweet sniper, then shoot your rifle   
 
I swear 
At the end of the day 
I don’t wanna do if I can’t do it my way 
Don’t care what’s fair
I just wanna play 
Just wanna be famous 
Reminisce when I was nameless 
(Like yeah)
I swear 
At the end of the day 
I don’t wanna do if I can’t do it my way
Don’t care what’s fair
I just wanna play 
Just wanna be famous 
Reminisce when life was painless like
Before everything changed and I 

If you knew how many times I didn’t know what to say 
Or what day was today
You might think I was shameless 
But I’ve been round and round and round my head
Thinking myself to death 
Sometimes I wish I was brainless 

Everything I write on the edge of embarrassment 
But I don’t wanna hide
Guess I’ll be own experiment 
Might, call it divine intelligence 
Davinci measurements
Brush strokes so elegant 

Would you be on my side 
If you knew I wasn’t innocent? 
Would you live you live a lie 
If you knew we’d get away with it?
Baby you can call it quits
You can say to hell with it

I swear 
At the end of the day 
I don’t wanna do if I can’t do it my way 
Don’t care what’s fair
I just wanna play 
Just wanna be famous 
Reminisce when I was nameless 
(Like yeah)
I swear 
At the end of the day 
I don’t wanna do if I can’t do it my way 
Don’t care what’s fair
I just wanna play 
Just wanna be famous 
Reminisce when life was painless like
Before everything changed and I 
Never felt the same as that night
