I AM NOT LOOKING FOR FAME




I am like every man out there working hard to make a living
I am hustling every day on the street from morning to evening
I've got to wake up early and get home late everyday
I give my best and try to do all it takes to have a better day
I am not looking for fame; just want to have a decent life

 I may dress up neatly with my suit on looking smart 
Work extra hours and sometimes do odd jobs to get by for a start
It doesn't mean i am proud or trying to impress anyone beside me in life
I am not looking for fame; just want to have a decent life

I want to make enough money to take care of my family and buy my wife the things she deserved
I want to be happy and be nice to people around
Life can only be beautiful when we achieve the things we dream of
If you are sitting by, life is going to leave you lagging behind and rip you off
I am not looking for fame; just want to have a decent life

 I have got to be on my feet and chase the things i long for as a man
I might get a promotion tomorrow; it doesn't mean i will become a pompous man
If tomorrow you see me in my car driving down the street
Please don't envy me, I am still me and am not going change a bit
To live comfortably is every man's dream in life
I am not looking for fame; just want to have a decent life
