  • I used to dream about cars and things.
    Bout being a star and things.
    I thought that I would outgrow this feeling.
    My dream won't go away.

    It's more like a nightmare.
    Keepin' me up all night,
    Like a nightmare.
    It's taking over my mind.
    My desire burns inside like a flame
    And it can't and it won't be contained.

    Cause I gotta be famous
    I need to be somebody

    No one wants to be invisible
    Everyone just wants to be seen.
    I know one thing is so irresistible
    Cause we all need a reason to be.
    So I wanna matter.
    To the world.
    To a girl.
    Watching me on TV.
    Watching me and I want her to wanna be me.
    To be me and I wanna be her dream.
    Be hear dream.

    So I gotta be famous.
    I gotta be somebody.
    So I gotta be famous.
    I gotta be somebody.

    And I'll do anything to get where you are.
    I'll do anything to reach the stars.
    You don't want what you have,
    But I want it so bad.
    You say it ain't fair but what ain't fair is no one cares if you ain't famous.
    You ain't famous.
    Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh.

    So I gotta be famous.
    I gotta be somebody.
    Cause I gotta be famous.
    I need to be somebody. Writer/s: DAVID LAMAR EWING, ERNEST DION WILSON, JAZMINE SULLIVAN, KEVIN LAMONT RANDOLPH
