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
