At first all I wanted is to get my hands on riches (yup!)
Too busy chasing you (YOU!) - to notice all the difference! (wow!)

When you go I come running tell me why you're so addictive. (why?)
You're a gift! - You're a curse! (yup!) - You feelin' like a drug! (drug!)
Cause while I'm chasing you - I hurt the ones I love. (oh!)
And I ain't who I was! (was!) - Cause I ain't on the block no more. (uh-uh!)
I ain't in the hood; I've been out. - Yeah, I'm tryna talk (ch'eah!)
Tell me what to do! - I was cool before I blew.
Cause now I spend my days out - tryna capture you! (uhh!)
I'm tryna be the same! (uhh!) - Don't tell me that I changed! (NO!)
Stop f*cking with my mind! (stop!) - You're playin' with my brain!
Tell me who I am! (tell me!) - My mother calls me: "Main'! " (Main'!)
I guess this is what they call the price of fame. [echoes] [beat stops]
