Who is it man? Who's at the door?
What time is it? What time is it?
Who is it?

Self esteem ain't what it seemed on your tv screen
i was cool but it's fame that i fiend for.
let the dream go and keep it on the lo-lo
and i know i had to get my lumps and my humps though.
i'm living life without a boss, never thought of the cost
all i knew was how to HO TOSS!

mad mothers in my rearview
i'm disrespecting the girls i said i loved in my interviews
half the year i'm on my tour bus
with my girl at home beggin' to fly out and kick it with us
and i just say i'm outta cell phone range with these two gold rings
and this H-bone chain
i'm like lovin' these groupies - they loosey, personal massuesy
face scrubbin's a duty - uh

i done changed but i can't see the clock
crosshairs locked, who the target? Mix-a-lot


Conscience wake him up
fame said shut him up
telephone pick it up
fame said hang it up
females don't touch
fame said hook it up
mom said save it up
fame said spend it up - Fame!

I'm addicted to the faayayayayayayayme.
I'm addicted to the fame.

Fame, if they could put it in a pipe
i was first in line to get my screen wiped
i had the green light to get the mad cracking
keep the banks stackin' and gold diggers askin'
about the lack of plants in my house
because i'm a bachelor, baby needs a WAY OUT!
but the girls with the fringe benefit of the drug
double dropping cells on my white rug
and that's the way that i was living too much dough giving
a dirty windshield'll give a man blurred vision
i used to call moms twice-da-week
but i slipped when my vein drug peaked - yea
fame, will put an "F" on your chest and that's real
but remember this - FAME KILLS!
and just to put it in perspective
Selena left us in Texas - best friend suspected.

Conscience wake him up
the fame said shut him up
telephone pick it up
the fame said hang it up
females don't touch
the fame said hook it up
mom said save it up
the fame said spend it up -

Fame, fame, chicka fame, fame.
I'm addicted to the fame, fame, chicka fame, fame.
I'm addicted to the fame, fame, chicka fame, fame.
I'm addicted to the fame, fame, chicka fame, fame.
I'm addicted to the fame.
I'm addicted to the faayayayayayayayme.
(I'm addicted to the...)

Well the drug is green but it ain't no weed
it's a need to succeed at accelerated speeds
yea - record labels was pushing for pop hits
i was torn between the grassroots and double D tits
can't cry wallet man
when you know it's the fame that made you put the gold things on your (blastain?)
you got the need to show 'em up
cause they said you was fake and you was never blowin' up
so you throw 'em up
to feel hard and accepted by some weak ass MC's the companies rejected
and i'm knowing how it is cause i done tried the fame drug
and went from name mud to big stud
i got juiced and lobster but i still want grits
leavin' beverly hills to get my ghetto kicks
but did i do it in time to save my spot
or will they make it all stop?
Will they stop my fame?

I'm addicted to the fame.
I'm addicted to the fame.
I'm addicted to the fame.
