Still Time The Fabulous Life
We grew up believing nothing good in this life’s free
All I saw was money when I turned on the TV
Mama always asked me to go outside and play with friends
But they’d be watching re-runs of Puff Daddy in his Benz
Money and fame
Our ball and chain
Stuck inside this prison
Just for watching MTV
We grew up believing that it’s good looks gets you seen
All I saw was beauty when I read my magazines
Mama always walked around with a smile in her eyes
But she would never buy herself the clothes that were in style
Beauty and fame
Now they’re our ball and chain
And we’re stuck inside this
Prison reading People Magazine
We grew up believing that no anger makes you weak
All I saw was violence when I looked at the big screen
Papa always asked me, “ain’t it great to be alive?”
But he would never get mad when his problems would arise
Power and fame
Now they’re our ball and chain
And we’re stuck inside this prison
Until we can find a way
Money and fame
Now they’re our ball and chain
And stuck inside this prison is a
Generation dazed
Beauty and fame
Now they’re your ball and chain
And you’re stuck inside this prison
Until you can find your way
