Fame

(1.vers):

Once upon a time not long ago

When the time was right, and the money was low

A family packed their bags, and took a chance

And travelled away from their homes and fam's

To go to a place where they wouldn't be safe

And live a life they knew, in a basketcase

To come to a land where they didn't know

Any woman or man, with no helping hand

The only masterplan the people had

Was to give a better life, to their children

So they hoped and prayed for a better day,

In a foreign country they hoped to stay

Just working hard and only getting paid,

Two jobs a day for minimum wage

Didn't change the fact on how they'd react,

When somebody told them to forget their past

And leave it all behind, without it crossing their mind

And blend in with people of a different kind

Time flew by

Kept their family pride, family values and all their feelings aside

They'd pray for help to protect themselves,

They really could't do anything else

It was the only way the family could survive,

And try to keep their hopes alive

(chorus):

I won't let the fame confuse me,

Forget what's important to me

I won't let the money change me,

Rearrange me, jealousy and envy

I would never hesitate to quit the,

Recording music industry

For the price of my friends or my family

And the people that's always been there for me

I won't let the fame confuse me,

Forget what's important to me

I won't let the money change me,

Rearrange me, jealousy and envy

When my bank account is all empty,

And there's no more girls left to tempt me

I'll still be macedoni, same old tony (aha)

(2.vers):

In a five bedroom house they had to sleep on the couch,

No money for rent and their ass was out

No sympathy, for the family

Who had to work day and night at the factory

They worked long and hard without a prob,

Twice as fast to keep their jobs

Going to work not even knowing a word

Of the language they heard, i know it sounds absurd

Could you picture yourself with no home or wealth,

With no instant help or no food or heath

'cuz that's the tragic reality for some families, don't be mad at me

Ain't no changing me

Just because i get this opportunity, to persue my dream

And try to be a good imagery, for people that maybe look up too me

'cuz their's a lot of people who don't get the chance

And a lot that do, and just go cuu cuuu

Get caught up in the hype, and the glamour and lights

Get in the newspapers for their criminal indights

Just try to stay true, to my families view

Of me as a person, and all the things i do

'cuz those are the people who was there from the start,

And will be there till the end

(chorus)

(3.vers):

We came to dk in the 70's

Now the government, want us to leave

Danish citizen or a refugee

You are a robber, killer or a thief

If you're not danish, they can't believe that can still achieve phd's

And finally when you get the degree, you apply for the job to support your family

You get turned 'cuz your hair is brown or your name is funny, is there a problem sunny, huh?

'cuz that's where the problem is, the man doesn't have a job to support his kids

his attitude is bad, his morals are dying, he keeps on applying but they keep on denying

so what is the man to do,

Society is screwed with their ignorant attitude

That's why i'm gonna work oh so hard, for my family's generation who came this far

who fought for freedom who was strong enough

for my sisters detacation to raising me up

For my mom and dad for raising a man, that's never gonna change or forget his plans

that will still be he, same old tony, mamma's boy from macedoni

(chorus)

I'll still be macedoni, same old tony aha!
