Ain't It Funny?

I told them there would come a day
I knew it deep within my heart
Some tried to rip the dream apart
(The dream was saved - I learned to pray, when without a way)

While I was laying out my goals
You were busy throwing bows
So sad the way the story goes
(Persistence paid, and came to save the day)
And then you tried to shoot me down

But haters keep me motivated
When they didn't think that I would do it
Then told me I should give up on it (bad call)
Though they told me I wouldn't make it
Those words turned out to be mistaken
All that back talking doesn't mean anything

Ain't it funny how when the money change
The same ole people are ready to roll?
Running around, clinging to my name, like everything - is cool

Ain't it funny how when the money change
The same ole people are ready to roll?
They want me now, when I need space

Where were you then, here are you now?
See me good I've got nothing for you baby
You caved when I thought you'd be proud
Hear me as I am then you turn your back on me
You think you know me, you're out of your mind
While I'll be star bound and you're left behind baby
Now I'm doing good, see me doing fine, now you want my time
Better get your ass in line, oh...

Why would you deem me obligated?
While all you wanting is a ticket
And you're a part of my frustration
See, ever since I was a youngin'
Envisioned I would be a something
And while fame and fortune
Doesn't bring everything...

Ain't if funny how when your status change
Once didn't believe now act like they know?
They talking about me, making up stories, walking around-like we down.

And ain't it funny how when you're living your dream
Some people you know want to see you below?
Money, cars who needs fame?
When it's all just a game.

It seems you surface up because
You want to get yourself a cut.
But tell me where you were then, when you said "no matter what?"
You only bring yourself around
When you hear me I'm making sounds.
And now you want to be down
Coming round...
