9th Wonder - 15 Minutes of Fame lyrics

[Verse 1: BJ The Chicago Kid] I remember back in the beginning I was scared to give you my love I didn't wanna let go of all these women Then I believed and began to trust And messing around was very tempting Cus even the bad ones buss And girl I never thought you'd be the one To leave me [Bridge: BJ The Chicago Kid] I had to let it breathe for a while cus Cus girl when you left me I was broken down Yea I was broken down for a while but But that's when I woke up and said [Pre-Hook: BJ The Chicago Kid] The first 5 minutes I put you all in it Then something went wrong and you ran Over the next 5 minutes You left for 5 minutes [Hook: BJ The Chicago Kid] (Add-2) And that was your 15 minutes of fame (5, 10, 15, time's up) (5, 10, 15, time's up) And that was your 15 minutes of fame (5, 10, 15, time's up) (5, 10, 15, time's up) And that was your 15 minutes of fame [Verse 2: BJ The Chicago Kid] Heard the guy you left me for wasn't even faithful But you went to him anyway Heard every time you left from seeing him yea But he had another one on the way Girl just to think I still love you Yea, a n***a have to be crazy And girl I never thought you'd be the one To leave me [Bridge] [Pre-Hook] [Hook] [Verse 3: Add-2] Hold up Yo! Clock's tickin' I fell for someone who couldn't stop trippin' Listen up, if yo' heart broke you better glue the pieces I put my ex down like there's treasure underneath 'er Love me in the limelight but the spotlight fades Back of the jersey all you wanted was a name and Guess I was to blame even thinkin' you would change Like Spike, like Jack, I watched you play games every day What's the point of a partner you can't depend on? Drowning in emotions, that ain't a surface to swim on You never gon' get it like En Vogue in the friend zone Seen it comin' quicker like a psychic who a nympho But I'm cool on my bullsh** Like a matador with new shoes avoid the bullsh** Said I was the one like Neo and I'm guessin' you was right When you left felt I dodged a bullet 15 minutes, 15 minutes 15 minutes, baby girl you're gone Know I used to love 'er, word to Common, I ain't never hatin' I'm turnin' tables like I'm doin some redecoratin' Fall in love, bring a parachute Girl, love is blind, now I wonder what I seen in you Girlfriends turnin', you want blowin up and now you like wow Your 15 minutes end -- now [Hook]
