Famous
Eminem

Verse 1:
Yo, it started with a dream, back in the trailer park,
Hustling hard, in the cold, I lit the spark,
From battles in the cyphers, to stages worldwide,
Now it’s flashing lights, and I can’t hide,

But with fame comes the pain, like a double-edged sword,
Friends become foes, and I’m often ignored,
Can’t trust a soul, when they all want a piece,
Every slice of my life, they’ll feast, never cease.

Chorus:
Famous, but is it worth the cost?
Living my dreams, but at what have I lost?
Famous, yeah, I’m riding this wave,
But drowning in the fame, I’m a slave to the stage.

Verse 2:
I got family pressures, and the media’s a beast,
One wrong move, and they'll be feasting on my least,
Every tabloid twist, they’re hungry for the dirt,
But they don’t know the struggles, man, the pain and the hurt.

Adversaries lurking, like shadows in the night,
They want to see me fall, but I’m ready for the fight,
I rise from the ashes, like a phoenix in the sky,
Every knock on my door, just pushes me to fly.

Chorus:
Famous, but is it worth the cost?
Living my dreams, but at what have I lost?
Famous, yeah, I’m riding this wave,
But drowning in the fame, I’m a slave to the stage.

Bridge:
So I pour my soul into every line I write,
Through the highs and lows, yeah, I stay in the light,
Famous for the music, renowned for the pain,
But through it all, man, it’s love I retain.

Outro:
Yeah, famous, but I take it in stride,
Every battle endured, there's a heart full of pride,
So while they take potshots, I'll rise above it all,
‘Cause in this life of fame, it’s about standing tall.
