Surrounded but alone, that's the curse of the fame You got applause, but they don't know your name They love the diamonds, but not your scars You a shooting star crashin' hard They cheerin' your name, but they don't know your pain Got a thousand DMs, but it's all so vain You in VIP, poppin' bottles, gold chain But who hold you down when you drown in the rain? Queen energy, yeah I shine real tough But I've seen stars die 'cause the fake ain't enough You flex on the 'Gram, filters on ten But when the lights off, you ain't got no friend You got fans, not fam, that's a deep cut They love the mask, but not when it's shut It's fake love, baby, dressed in Dior They clap for your pics, not who you are You lonely, huh? But too proud to say All them likes won't keep the pain away Surrounded but alone, that's the curse of the fame You got applause, but they don't know your name They love the diamonds, but not your scars You a shooting star crashin' hard Surrounded but alone, in a room full of ghosts They post RIP but never cared the most So when you break down, just know the game They love the spotlight, not your flame They buyin' you shots but not peace of mind They'll vibe with your clout, then leave you behind You the topic today, gone tomorrow They'll trade your soul for a viral sorrow Barbz know the deal, I seen snakes in heels Smile in my face while they plot my meals You gave them truth, they wanted glam You gave your heart, they gave you scam Now you got cash, but still feel broke 'Cause fake friends laugh while the real ones choke They scream your name, but don't know your story They crave your fall more than your glory Yeah, you famous, but are you free? Or just trapped in a cage they call celebrity? Surrounded but alone, that's the curse of the fame You got applause, but they don't know your name They love the diamonds, but not your scars You a shooting star crashin' hard Surrounded but alone, in a room full of ghosts They post RIP but never cared the most So when you break down, just know the game They love the spotlight, not your flame
