Fame (Album Version) - GZA/The Genius

Written by：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 reeds a map that marks the spot showin

On his left george burns a blunt william's holdin

Tyra banked the money that chaka khaned the poor

Alicia keyed his car for givin melba 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 parked the truck on the farm that kim fields

Linda tripped for tryna to walk in lauryn's hills

Water dripped outta farrah's fawcett in the glass

She was superfly curtis mayfield her a**

Chris tucker to a show ted turner to a ho

Robert diggs the beat but ain't feelin the flow

But he signed it fast for half of johnny's cash

Nia longed for the album to drop cameras flashed

Tom sawyer at the lucielle ball up at the foyer

He confronted richard pryor 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 cruised the boulevard chris rocked 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 buckwild

Like the kids in the yard who play with jane's child

A beautician laced erykah's badu

Sean combed through the evidence just to get a clue

The needle in the haystack from outta eartha's kitt

The tiger would kill him once thrown in brad's pitt

Jesse owen the money from the w**d bubba sparxxx'd

They was journeys seen far as he walked in dick's clarks

Jeffery lyons stuck with a thorn from george's bush

Paul pierced 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 coled

The producer threw the butter on esther's rolle

Nipsey russeled him down got his jaw wide

In a instant brooke shields him from the gunfire

Angie stoned him to death with those vocals

Keith sweat from the workout just from runnin local

Wettin cream I ain't wettin 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

Wettin cream I ain't wettin fame

Fame is the measure

Rap celebs

The place where stars are born

Wettin cream I ain't wettin fame

Fame is the measure

Rap celebs

The place where stars are b
