Lyrics and translation

Original

Welcome to your name in lights

All the lighters in the sky (yeah)

You must be famous

This is how you live your life, different city every night (yeah)

You must be famous, famous

I'ma be on the TV, mama, Pac voice

People point at me, say "Oh my God"

They got a point

Tried to blow my nose and blew my mind

It's mind-blowing

And gold diggers dig until they find oil

And I'm sittin' here reading what was written 'bout what I do

What I didn't

I ruined relationships before my image but

All I ever wanted was everybody's attention

'Cause most people are nobody 'til somebody kill 'em

Probably thought that my career, be short and sweet

Wishin' I was in your shoes, I'd take them off and find a beach

And superstars don't sparkle, we high-beam

You can't spell fame, without me

And may my Hall of Fame speech be short and sweet

Like "Thank God, f- fame and thank me"

'Cause superstars don't sparkle, superstars beam

I was your main man, 'til I went mainstream

I'ma be on the TV, mama

Welcome to your name in lights (woo)

All the lighters in the sky (I must be famous)

You must be famous (yeah, oh my God I must be famous)

This is how you live your life

Different city every night (I must be famous)

You must be famous, famous

Rich and famous, it's better to be rich and famous

Message to my lawyer, don't let me make these b- famous

You know entertainers

Sex, drugs and entertainment get so instantaneous

Simultaneous, miscellaneous, party long and hard

And pray death is quick and painless

Livin' in the spotlight, twist the light bulb when it's blinking

I'm never alone

I got my demons and my angels

Can't talk to myself 'cause mama said don't talk to strangers

Relatives, ain't seen 'em since the grass been greener

And some people say I changed but they can't hear me jingle

I want Tina and Nancy, I get Nancy and Tina

Never question myself, unless I ask, "Am I dreamin'?"

The fan mail and subpoenas, jail cells to arenas

Car wash to the cleaners, Walmart to Neiman's

They told me time would tell

I told time to kiss my a-

And I heard, "Can you look this way? Can you look this way?"

Flash! I must be famous

Welcome to your name in lights (yeah)

All the lighters in the sky (you must be famous)

You must be famous (I'ma be on the TV, mama)

This is how you live your life (yeah, yeah)

Different city every night (oh my God, I must be famous)

You must be famous, famous

You probably thought that my career, be short and sweet

You wish that I was in your shoes, I'd take them off 'cause life's a beach

And superstars don't sparkle, we shine deep

And you can't spell fame, without me

And may my Hall of Fame speech be short and sweet

Like, "Thank God, f- fame, and thank me"

'Cause superstars don't twinkle, superstars gleam

I was your main man, 'til I went mainstream

I'ma be on the TV, mama

Welcome to your name in lights

All the lighters in the sky (oh my God, I must be famous)

You must be famous (oh my God, I must be famous)

This is how you live your life

Different city every night (oh my God, I must be famous)

You must be famous, famous

I'ma be on the TV, mama

Kiss my motherf- a-
