You started out with stars in your eyes Big goals, big plans, said you were gonna make the big time Got a little taste of fame It intoxicates, blurs your vision babe Start to feel like a bigshot when the whole room knows your name Now, you veer off from the path start to lose track of the vision you had Sat back, relaxed, got comfortable too fast Ain't it sad? Ain't it a damn shame? You can point fingers all you like but in the end, baby, who's to blame? [Chorus:] It didn't go the way you planned You turned your head and it slipped right out your hands And it isn't like all the blame's on you it ain't ever easy, but I don't understand why you're so confused Why don't you think about it? [Freez:] Yeah they pointing the finger but they don't know the struggle of an artist playing the hardest and always on the hustle Easy to lose track of the haters when the hoes all love you Trouble be the follow through cause you know they judge you Couple lines for the stress Like Willie Dynamite Eyes dialted, right? So he ain't tryna write The kinda life you live when you always up in that limey light The price is right for dropping a verse and your sh** is kinda tight Blinded by the lights and the snakes who would shake his hand Shared a piff Experiment with meth I guess he breakin bad Thought he would break a song A & R say it ain't as half as banging as the flavor he used to have when he made a track Start to doubt himself Without the wealth The major cats He blaming that sh** on Ain't the ones who should take the wrap Face the facts son you blew it with drug abusin Say it's everybody's fault Who the f** you foolin? [Chorus] Tried to play the game But you lost your way I guess you're the one getting played When they all go home And you're all alone Tell me, where's the microphone? [Chorus]
