F.a.m.e
Young Jeezy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't scared of none of y'all, so you know my aim good
Blowing bin Laden in my Porsche 911
Just left Ground Zero, on my way to kush heaven
Can't slow down, too much evil in my rear view
Sometimes you wanna scream to God, but he can't hear you
And even if you did, this'll probably be his answer
"Fuck you 'plaining about? It ain't like you got cancer"
First the love, then the hate, that just a trap nigga's curse
I bet you feel like the whole world hating on you
But what's the hold up? The whole world waiting on you
[Chorus: x2]
(The fame)
I wake up and feel empty
Shit make you want to squeeze your Glock until it's empty
I'm already standing on the edge, so don't tempt me
Fake motherfuckers envy
You mean to tell me from running my big mouth
That I could chill here in this big penthouse?
All elevator-ed up, black hardwood floors
Just to sit around and feel like it ain't yours
Your conscience got you feeling like you done something wrong
But the flat screen saying motherfucker, we on
Pardon me, nigga, do you see this view?
See Ruth's Chris from here, what the fuck's wrong with you?
Looking at my Rollie, yeah, it's almost seven
Bill Gates state of mind with an automatic weapon
You might remember from putting on for the city
Or back when it was on two, going for the fifty
Opened up a few squares, opened up a few tours
Just to show niggas keys open up doors
"Oh, we don't fuck with Young no more" Why not?
The only thing I can figure, because he on top
[Chorus: x2]
Lately, I been often out of sight, seldom out of mind
Ay, getcha bidne' right, and stay the hell up out of mine
I'm out my mind, tryin' to fix it ‘fore I'm out of time
Don't worry 'bout me, God got me, bruh, I'm doin' fine
Another year in prison, promise this is it for me
Tryna make it through the storm, should be makin' history
No feelin' sorry for me, keep ya pity and ya sympathy
Good or bad, take it like a man, whatever meant for me
How I did it make ‘em hate my spirit, they wish they could kill it
And they'll take it however they can get it
Wanna see me fulla misery, walkin' wit' my head down
"Let's decapitate ‘im, then we'll see if he can wear his crown!"
[Chorus: x4]

Do it for my niggas on the block that got it worse
I'm doing this for my friends in the inner city who are facing even more struggles than I am

Just to sit around and feel like it ain't yours
But even with all this wealth, sometimes it doesn't feel like it truly belongs to me
Your conscience got you feeling like you done something wrong
You feel guilty or ashamed about something you've done
But the flat screen saying motherfucker, we on
But my TV screen reminds me that I'm still successful and 'on top'
Pardon me, nigga, do you see this view?
Excuse me, but do you see this amazing view from my penthouse?
See Ruth's Chris from here, what the fuck's wrong with you?
I can even see a fancy steakhouse from my penthouse. What's wrong with you that you can't appreciate this?
Looking at my Rollie, yeah, it's almost seven
I'm looking at my Rolex and it's almost 7pm
Bill Gates state of mind with an automatic weapon

Or back when it was on two, going for the fifty
Or back when I was still struggling, only having two dollars and trying to make it to fifty
Opened up a few squares, opened up a few tours
I've hosted a few music festivals and gone on various tours
Just to show niggas keys open up doors
I did all these things to demonstrate that achieving success can unlock many doors

Some people might say they don't like or support me anymore, but why?
The only thing I can figure, because he on top
The only reason I can think of is that I'm on top and they're jealous of my success
Lately, I been often out of sight, seldom out of mind
Lately, I've been staying out of the public eye but still on people's minds
Ay, getcha bidne' right, and stay the hell up out of mine
Hey, focus on your own business and stay out of mine
I'm out my mind, tryin' to fix it ‘fore I'm out of time
I'm struggling with my own mental health and trying to fix it before I run out of time
Don't worry 'bout me, God got me, bruh, I'm doin' fine
Don't worry about me, God has my back and I'm doing okay
Another year in prison, promise this is it for me
After spending another year in prison, I promise that I won't get in trouble again
Tryna make it through the storm, should be makin' history
I'm just trying to survive this difficult time in my life, but I should also be making history with my music
No feelin' sorry for me, keep ya pity and ya sympathy
Don't feel bad for me or offer me empty sympathy
Good or bad, take it like a man, whatever meant for me
Whether good or bad, I'll take it like a man and accept whatever fate has in store for me
How I did it make ‘em hate my spirit, they wish they could kill it
The way I achieved success has made some people hate me and wish they could destroy my spirit
And they'll take it however they can get it
And they'll try to take me down by any means necessary
Wanna see me fulla misery, walkin' wit' my head down
Some people want to see me miserable and defeated, walking around with my head hung low
"Let's decapitate ‘im, then we'll see if he can wear his crown!"
Some people want to destroy me completely, then see if I'm still able to maintain my success and status
