Ain't It Funny?

I told them there would come a day
 I knew it deep within my heart
 Some tried to rip the dream apart
 (The dream was saved - I learned to pray, when without a way)
 While I was laying out my goals
 You were busy throwing bows
 So sad the way the story goes
 (Persistence paid, and came to save the day)
 And then you tried to shoot me down
 But haters keep me motivated
 When they didn't think that I would do it
 Then told me I should give up on it (bad call)
 Though they told me I wouldn't make it
 Those words turned out to be mistaken
 All that back talking doesn't mean anything
 Ain't it funny how when the money change
 The same ole people are ready to roll?
 Running around, clinging to my name, like everything - is cool
 Ain't it funny how when the money change
 The same ole people are ready to roll?
 They want me now, when I need space
 Where were you then, here are you now?
 See me good I've got nothing for you baby
 You caved when I thought you'd be proud
 Hear me as I am then you turn your back on me
 You think you know me, you're out of your mind
 While I'll be star bound and you're left behind baby
 Now I'm doing good, see me doing fine, now you want my time
 Better get your ass in line, oh...
 Why would you deem me obligated?
 While all you wanting is a ticket
 And you're a part of my frustration
 See, ever since I was a youngin'
 Envisioned I would be a something
 And while fame and fortune
 Doesn't bring everything...
 Ain't if funny how when your status change
 Once didn't believe now act like they know?
 They talking about me, making up stories, walking around-like we down.
 And ain't it funny how when you're living your dream
 Some people you know want to see you below?
 Money, cars who needs fame?
 When it's all just a game.
 It seems you surface up because
 You want to get yourself a cut.
 But tell me where you were then, when you said "no matter what?"
 You only bring yourself around
 When you hear me I'm making sounds.
 And now you want to be down
 Coming round...
