famous Lyrics

My parents taught me that I shouldn't be famous

They said if money is your goal then you're aimless

Won't buy you happiness and won't fill your soul, oh

Can't take it with you when you go, so

Take a breath and try to hold it

Make the most of every moment

Money won't buy you life

Money won't buy you time

Well I agree with the sentiment, but I'm ambivalent

Should I stay ignorant or risk becoming villanous

If I stay innocent, how do I influence the world that I'm living in

I guess that's the benefit of omnipotence

Do I want you to hear this album?

Do I release the songs or hide them?

Is it hypocritical to ask or should I stop looking back at how

My parents taught me that I shouldn't be famous

But I kinda wanna be famous

The more money you get, the more problems you stumble upon

But I really wanna know what it's like to be

At the top, I got good ideas

And if I'm not, who is gonna hear them?

Isn't there a middle ground

Like would it not be cool for me to sell out

And after a couple years of killing it

Go back to my hometown, and settle in
