Wanna Be Famous
As some of you may know, I have a BIG fascination with music. I think I may love it almost as much as I do my writing and I hardly ever write w/out listening to music. Over the last couple of weeks I have found myself listening to one particular song more than any of the other 6,000+ songs on my iPod and that song is Famous by Jazmine Sullivan. Peep the lyrics:
"Famous"
I used to dream about cars and things.
Bout being a star and things.
I thought that I would outgrow this feening.
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
Her lyrics so closely mirror my feelings in regards to writing. All I want is to be heard, for people to read my books and have that recognition, not even monetarily (though it helps) butjust to know that people actually have my book on their shelf.
My favorite lines are:
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.
That's dope when she says that no one wants to be invisible and how she wants to matter to someone and how she wants to be that girls dream and for that girl to want to be her. That's the only way we get to live forever.
Thank you Jazmine Sullivan for making such a wonderful song, one of several that you have. This song is my theme/anthem and will be for as long as I write and am finally tasting my glass of fame. Cheers to all of us chasing that dream!
