Lyrics

Verse 1
Some people search for heaven and money praying for power and fame selling they soul for the game spend there advance for a chain did you listen to the difference in the guns and butter used to be a role model now they got no love for ya cause all you care about is all the whips you got all on MTV cribs bragging bout how you live selling a dream to these kids now they comparing they life to the way that you live and you take no responsibilities in the words that you speak when you brag about murder and niggas dying every week I aint saying that your wrong but this is more than a song but you don?t care about your words just as long as you get on huh.

Hook 1
Some people live and they die for money and fame hoping someday the whole world know their name they struggle and lie to live another?s life praying before they die they become a star in the sky.

Verse 2
Now tell me why Hallie had to get naked and fucked just to get an Oscar Denzel had to play a crook tell me why Biggie and Tupac had to die before you said they were great and when somebody have success why the next man hate cause you wish it was your time to enjoy the shine but how could you enjoy the shine when you living blind ready to change your body and the way that you dress and you claim that its growth when its all to impress to make the next man envy the life they wish they had just because you got money don?t mean you aint living bad but we study reading these magazines watching the drama on TV hoping that celebrities living like you and me praying for the American dream the same dream we were all raised to see to become successful and make a lot of cream by any means niggas would even sell there soul even if there never free.

Hook 2
Some people live and they die for money and fame hoping someday the whole world know their name they struggle and lie to live another?s life praying before they die they become a star in the sky.

Verse 3
Someday I pray that we can find a better way stop selling our soul cause it aint the only way we are all blessed with more than just greed so many are ready to die just from wants not from needs no man is bigger than the next man we are all gods children and on his earth is where we stand dying as young men abandoning our woman for a pair of 24?s a Chain of Red Gold and a couple of hoes searching for a treasure that some may never hold wishing our days was an everlasting video some of us may never know how it feels to have the world call your name but think about how many sold there soul for a taste of fame but the world was built on greed so it will never change some kill just for the rush of being feared by the world admired by little girls bragging about your crimes just to live that life.

Hook 3
Some people live and they die for money and fame hoping someday the whole world know their name they struggle and lie to live another?s life praying before they die they become a star in the sky.
