Unfamous from Heartspeak by Minoru

Mass media makes
Fools of these artists
Shootin' for a change
But the aim is off target
Dance with the Devil
Betta exercise caution
Don't sell ya soul
No spiritual auction...
It's the times that cha lost in
Fosterin' ties to a system
That's often
The cause of the trouble
House made of cards
Always destined to crumble
Try to be humble
Enter the Wu
But abandon the C.R.E.A.M.
The world-wide, universal
Everybody team
We deserve to be seen
Apart from capital dreams
Above the influence of advertised
Subliminal themes
Beyond the benefits of posterized
Political schemes
Masquerade agenda
Nothing is what it seems
Dig into the earth
'Til ya hands get dirty
Let sweet mother, Gaia
Decide if your worthy

CHORUS
A message to those
Afraid to die nameless
Just be yourself
No need to be famous
Preoccupied with
Your expectations
Wishful thinking
Leads to end-gaining
Inflate the ego 'til the ego goes pop
Let loose the demons that
You just can't stop
Even though you understand
Life has greater meaning
It's impossible to be
If your brain remains dreamin'

You can keep all the riches and gold
You're protecting
Just hope the people I love
Get the message
Always defending
Your past indiscretions
The only correction
Is selfless direction...
Will you ever learn?
There's real people behind
The paper you earn
The paper you burn
To satisfy the hunger
Never satisfied with
The roof that you're under...
What happened to the mission?...
There's clouds in your vision
No color to clarify the life
That you're living
Travel back to the beginning
Back, back to the beginning
Back when it was easy
Making music for the love
Rewind to the times
When your rhymes shared
The stories of
Blessings from the sky above
Babies from a broken glove
Maybe's in your mind
Turned to truth you were dreamin' of

CHORUS

Peek into the future
Though tomorrow's never promised
Projected potentials
Hinder your progress
It's hard to be honest
Respect what you're given
Refuse the nutrition
Of fruit that's forbidden
Temptation says reach
But cha arms too short
Can't fulfill the cravings that you
Had since birth
Pledged to do the work
So your momma wouldn't have to
Some point it shifted
To fast cars and tattoos
YouTube views
FaceBook comments
Faceless judgment of
The wisdom you're offering
Soften the blow by
Ignoring the nonsense
Gather your confidence
Eyes of the optimist
Don't mind the peanuts
That stand in the gallery
Hatred and jealousy
Translate to flattery
Slaves to the habits
That we've had all our lives
We need to drop the weight
If we want to survive

CHORUS

No need to be famous...
