fame & fortune - paul marz lyrics

arrive in my sh-ll case, early each morn
eyes come alive as i rise at dawn
stand on the front line, place of the p-wn
journey to the other side, end of the board
transform, my standards differ from the norm
when i listen to their songs i start to get bored
it’s hard to conform so i walk on my own
for people at home when i’m out on the road
another day, another dollar
another prayer, ‘nother problem
if i say it then i got it
if they with me then i got em
diamonds still shine in the city turned sodom
genie trapped in the bottle, it appeared at the bottom
when you see what i’ve seen then you come to me hollarin
houdini couldn’t free these chains that they got us in
trapped in shackles in a state of the following
same battle fought by great king solomon

they seek fame and fortune livin the life
what’s your life worth? could give it a price
are you rich cause u got cars money and ice?
define rich if you can, cause you can’t live twice
fame and fortune livin the life
what’s your life worth? could give it a price
are you rich cause u got cars money and ice?
define rich if you can, cause you can’t live twice

40 days 40 nights, spent in the wilderness
the search for myself, literal and figurative
stones turn to bread, couldn’t even resist
but i can’t waste my talent, can’t throw away my gift
i repent for my sins, i regret what i did
the ones that i haven’t & the ones that i’m in
smell death in the wind, the scent so shrill
god called, then i hid. had to head for the hills
he n i used to kick it, till my mind got ill
then i realigned my will, redeemed by my sk!lls
returned to the forefront, trained for the k!ll
now i’m watched by the seal on the back of the bill
mailbox full of bills, here’s when it gets real
doctor walks in hands ‘em prescriptions for pills
a mother gets worried, her sons not healed
the son gets buried that’s the pain they feel

i rise up as the dust settles
take a deep breath, gun smoke, rose petals
blood on their hands, scent of death surrounding the meadow
land of the d-mned, city’s a mess, split into levels
under the pale moon light
the plight & the peril
fighters & peddlers push packs, lightin the metal
nicer than ever, strike terror through the heart of the devil
archangel michael in the temple, sharpening weapons
harvest the message, harness & vest, part of the blessing
honest to death, another one, that’s an honorable mention
ponder a second, grand scheme of the celestial heavens
get overwhelmed, start feelin like life is irrelevant or
follow the reverend, falsely portrayed as benevolent
programmed by the television, they think they’re intelligent
the night of terror is upon em, we embellish it
the men of god relish it, live one with the elements. i’m gone
