Now everybody wants to have fame
but youand'll pay the price if youand're not plainand' it by the game
cuz this game is made up of a bunch of crazy rules,
and fools get took if theyand're not plaing by the rules.
now, the ice is kickinand' it, kickinand' it kickinand' it like a champ,
but donand't try to play me like some wet food stamp.
they say that it was a fluke,
cuz i used a fat loop,
but hereand's the sccop, troop
the ice is back to make it hoop.
anand' since itand's 94, and now iand'm back on the scene,
escapin from the hell of takinand' it to the extreme.
itand's kind of strange, cuz people say youand've changed...
but i never changed,
even though i got fame,
yo, iand'm still the same...ugh!
Fame, iand'm still the same person,
i never ever switch, anand' even if iand'm rich.
but now itand's like an itch,
cuz i love the music.
they say i do it for the money,
and itand's funny, clockinand' all the honeys;
the ones that used to dis - now they wanna kiss.
lookinand' at what my troops got,
now theyand're getting their boots knocked.
damn itand's a shame - do i love and'em
no i donand't andquot;gandquot;.
a couple of yeas ago, they didnand't want me
now i got these so called friends,
itand's down with the ice,
cuz they know iand'm makinand' ends.
but my real friends have been friends through the fame.
anand' since i have fame ainand't a damn thing changed,
yo iand'm still the same...ugh!
And let me tell you about the pros and the cons,
fame only lasts if you keep droppinand' them bombs.
now in the public eye - you know iand'm havinand' to admit it,
you become a target for a whole lot of critics.
reporters stickinand' to ya like white on rice.
now everywhere i go they wanna interview the ice.
before every show itand's like iand'm steadily surrounded
by all of my fans and the mediaand's houndinand'
this is not a dis cuz i love all my fans,
but the media doesnand't really understand.
they take what ya say, twist it around into lies,
and the next thing ya know,
a bunch of rumors start to fly.
then they try to make you out to be a straight liar,
and next youand'll be the front page of hte national enquirer.
oh what a price to pay to play this crazy game,
you bettaand' be prepared if you ever reach fame.
yo, iand'm still the same...ugh!
