Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They was told not to ride in patty's +hearse+
And stay out of charles' +manson+
Took abraham's +lincoln+ through the todd +bridges+ espansion
Willis +reid+s a map that marks the spot showin
On his left george +burns+ a blunt william's holdin
Tara +bank+ed the money that chaka +khan+ed the poor
Alicia +key+ed his car for givin melbourne +moore+
For the redd +foxx+ who bought off the block, but though twice
As debora +cox+ the gun cuz she beat kelly's +price+
When rosa +park+ed the truck on the farm that kim +fields+
Linda +tripp+ed for tryna to walk in lauryn's +hills+
Water dripped outta farrah's +fawcett+ in the glass
She was "superfly", curtis +mayfield+ her ass
Chris +tucker+ to a show, ted +turner+ to a hoe
Robert +diggs+ the beat, but ain't feelin the flow
But he signed it fast, for half of johnny's +cash+
+Nia long+ed for the album to drop, cameras flashed
Tom +sawyer+ at the lucielle +ball+ up at the foyer
He confronted richard +pryor+ to hiring his lawyer
Suge's +knight+ removed the rook off the board
Donna +king+ was checked and al +sharpton+ the sword

"Wettin cream, I aint wettin fame"
"Fame is the measure"
"Rap's the lab"
"The place where stars are born"

[Verse 2]
The saints marched in, kurtis +blow+ing his horn
Tom +cruise+d the boulevard, chris +rock+ed the song
For the hundredth time, they pressed rewind to the beginning
They toast to the rhyme, the juice spilt from john's +lennon+
They took her to elizabeth +taylor+ to dry clean
The lone seamstress, who was schemin on al's +green+
You know they shoot for the stars and buckwild
Like the kids in the yard who play with +jane's child+
A beautician laced erykah's +badu+
Sean +comb+ed through the evidence, just to get a clue
The needle in the haystack, from outta earth this kid
The tiger would kill him once thrown in brad's +pitt+
Jesse +owen+ the money from the weed bubba +sparxxx+
They was journeys seen far as he walked in dick's +clark+
Jeffery +lyons+ stuck with a thorn from george's +bush+
Paul +pierce+d in the heart as the crowd pushed
Acting alone... drew +barrymore+ bones
Of the victims, three blocks from jim's +brownstone+
They shared the same bowl, he caught natalie's +cole+d
The producer, threw the butter on esther's +rolle+
Dempsey +russel+ed him down, got his jaw wide
In a instant, brooke +shields+ him from the gunfire
Angie +stone+d him to death, with those vocals
Keith +sweat+ from the workout, just from runnin local

"With cream I ain't with the fame"
"Fame is the measure"
"Rap's the lab"
"The place where stars are born"

[Verse 3]
Larry's +bird+ flew outta nicholas' +cage+
Joe +tex+ messages from satchel's +paige+
Betty +wright+ letters with ink from sean's +penn+
Infinite bars, you couldn't tell where the song end
Glenn +close+ enough to quickly duck the tapes
Richard +gere+ ripped while he was climbin bill +gates+
He was a southerner, posing as a, native new yorker
The jason +kidd+ took his first steps in jimmy's +walker+
He stayed on line chattin with rap celebs
Used bernie's +mack+ to search veronica's +webb+
It cost them their life for the advice you gave
Now pete +rose+ lay on vanessa's +redgrave+

"With cream I ain't with the fame"
"Fame is the measure"
"Rap's the lab"
"The place where stars are born"
"With cream I ain't with the fame"
"Fame is the measure"
"Rap's the lab"
"The place where stars are born"
