    Famous

    by: Jimmy James

    Don’t judge me by disarray
    My life is about to change
    All the bad that came before
    I swear it will be no more
    I made my plans
    To take a stand
    Just to show you who I am
    And when I make it
    You’ll have to take it
    And wish that you had given me a hand
    When I become famous
    You’ll know what my name is
    I’ll be glamorous
    Posing for cameras
    My picture’s in the magazines
    I’m riding in the limousines
    Look at me I’m a drama queen
    (Remember my name! Fame!)
    When I become famous
    Money in and out of my ass
    They say it never buys you class
    But when I’m the one calling all the shots
    I’ll be a have not a poor have not
    I’ll be a star
    Diamonds and cars
    Everyone will know me then
    And when I make it
    You’ll have to take it
    Tell all your friends that you knew me then
    I tried to love you a million times
    But you laughed and passed me by
    You will regret it
    And wont forget it
