Fame

Lyrics

[Chorus] Check it out, check, check it out, ugh! Check it out, check, check it out, ugh! Check it out, check, check it out I got a story to tell... [Verse 1] Now everybody wants to have fame But you'll pay the price if you're not playin' it by the game 'Cause this game is made up of a bunch of crazy rules And fools get took if they're not playing by the rules Now, the Ice is kickin' it, kickin' it, kickin' it like a champ But don't try to play me like some wet food stamp They say that was a fluke 'cause I used a phat loop But here's the scoop, troop, the Ice is back to make it hoop And since it's 94 'and now I'm back on the scene Escapin' from the hell of takin' it to the extreme It's kind of strange, 'cause the people say you've changed But I never changed Even though I got fame, yo, I'm still the same, ugh! [Chorus] Check it out, check, check it out, ugh! Check it out, check, check it out, ugh! Check it out, check, check it out I got a story to tell... [Verse 2] Fame, I'm still the same person I never ever switch, and even if I'm rich But now it's like an itch 'cause I love the music They say I do it for the money, and it's funny Clockin' all the honeys: The ones that used to diss Now they wanna kiss Lookin' at what my troops got Now they're getting their boots knocked Damn, it's a shame - do I love 'em? No I don't, G A couple of years ago, they didn't want me Now I got these so called friends That's down with the Ice, 'cause they know I'm makin' ends But my real friends have been friends through the fame And since I have fame, ain't a damn thing changed Yo, I'm still the same, ugh! [Chorus] Check it out, check, check it out, ugh! Check it out, check, check it out, ugh! Check it out, check, check it out I got a story to tell... [Bridge] And the winner is... Vanilla Ice! [Chorus] Check it out, check, check it out, ugh! Check it out, check, check it out, ugh! Check it out, check, check it out I got a story to tell... [Verse 3] And let me tell you about the pros and the cons Fame only lasts if you keep droppin' them bombs Now in the public eye - you know I'm havin' to admit it You become a target for a whole lot of critics Reporters stickin' to you like white on rice Now everywhere I go, they wanna interview the Ice Before every show, it's like I'm steadily surrounded By all of my fans and the media's houndin' This is not a diss 'cause see, I love all my fans But the media doesn't really understand They take what you say, twist it around into lies And the next thing you know, a bunch of rumors start to fly Then they try to make you out to be a straight liar And next you'll be the front page of the National Enquirer Oh, what a price to pay to play this crazy game You better be prepared if you ever reach fame Yo, I'm still the same, ugh! [Chorus] Check it out, check, check it out, ugh! Check it out, check, check it out, ugh! Check it out, check, check it out Yeah, my story's been told...
