Fame Lyrics - The Genius Gza

They was told not to ride in Patty's Hearse 

And stay out of Charles' Manson 

Took Abraham's Lincoln through the Todd Bridges expansion 

Willis Reid s a map that marks the spot showin' 

On his left George Burns a blunt William's holdin' 

Tara Bank ed the money that Chaka Khan ed the poor 

Alicia Key ed his car for givin' Melbourne Moore 

For the Redd Foxx who bought off the block, but though twice 

As Debora Cox the gun 'cuz she beat Kelly's Price 

When Rosa Park ed the truck on the farm that Kim Fields 

Linda Tripp ed for tryna to walk in Lauryn's Hills 

Water dripped outta Farrah's Fawcett in the glass 

She was superfly, Curtis Mayfield her ass 

Chris Tucker to a show, Ted Turner to a hoe 

Robert Diggs the beat, but ain't feelin' the flow 

But he signed it fast, for half of Johnny's Cash 

Nia Long ed for the album to drop, cameras flashed 

Tom Sawyer at the Lucille Ball up at the foyer 

He confronted Richard Prior to hiring his lawyer 

Suge's Knight removed the rook off the board 

Donna King was checked and Al Sharpton the sword 

Wettin' cream, I ain't wettin' fame 

Fame is the measure, rap celebs 

The place where stars are born 

The saints marched in, Kurtis Blowing his horn 

Tom Cruise D the boulevard, Chris Rock ed the song 

For the hundredth time, they pressed rewind to the beginning 

They toast to the rhyme, the juice spilt from John's Lennon 

They took her to Elizabeth Taylor to dry clean 

The lone seamstress, who was schemin' on Al's Green 

You know they shoot for the stars and buck wild 

Like the kids in the yard who play with Jane's Child 

A beautician laced Erykah's Badu 

Sean Comb ed through the evidence, just to get a clue 

The needle in the haystack, from outta earth this kid 

The tiger would kill him once thrown in Brad's Pitt 

Jesse Owen the money from the weed Bubba Sparxxx 

They was journeys seen far as he walked in Dick's Clark 

Jeffery Lyons stuck with a thorn from George's Bush 

Paul Pierce d in the heart as the crowd pushed 

Acting alone, Drew Barrymore bones 

Of the victims, three blocks from Jim's Brownstone 

They shared the same bowl, he caught Natalie's Cole d 

The producer, threw the butter on Esther's Rolle 

Dempsey Russel ed him down, got his jaw wide 

In a instant, Brooke Shields him from the gunfire 

Angie Stone D him to death, with those vocals 

Keith Sweat from the workout, just from runnin' local 

With cream, I ain't with the fame 

Fame is the measure, rap celebs 

The place where stars are born 

Larry's Bird flew outta Nicholas' Cage 

Joe Tex messages from Satchel's Paige 

Betty Wright letters with ink from Sean's Penn 

Infinite bars, you couldn't tell where the song end 

Glenn Close enough to quickly duck the tapes 

Richard Gere ripped while he was climbin' Bill Gates 

He was a southerner, posing as a native New Yorker 

The Jason Kidd took his first steps in Jimmy's Walker 

He stayed on line chattin' with rap celebs 

Used Bernie's Mack to search Veronica's Webb 

It cost them their life for the advice you gave 

Now Pete Rose lay on Vanessa's Redgrave 

With cream, I ain't with the fame 

Fame is the measure, rap celebs 

The place where stars are born 

With cream, I ain't with the fame 

Fame is the measure, rap celebs 

The place where stars are born
