No one really talks about the loneliness that comes with being a celebrity. Adekunle Gold sings about the cost of ambition in “Fame” where home, love, and friendship can feel distant despite achieving one’s dreams. Although the song is raw, haunting, and vulnerable, it shows that the glitz of fame often comes with silence, distance, and a search for true belonging.
Verse 1
I’ve gone too many places with a lonely heart
I’m longing for a place where I can i be a part
I’m here in my house
But home seems so far
I’ve tried to cut the distance
But it feels so far
Chorus:
Sometimes my mama’s house
Don’t feel like home
Sometimes my baby’s arms
Don’t feel like home
Sometimes with my friends
I feel alone
Sometimes
I feel alone
Verse 2
Everybody says don’t change
But how will I grow
I’m scared to do the things I want
But people dunno
I wanted the fame and I no know say
The thing go hard
Somedays I want to run away
I no go lie
Chorus
Sometimes my mama’s house
Don’t feel like home
Sometimes my baby’s arms
Don’t feel like home
Sometimes with my friends
I feel alone
Sometimes
I feel alone
Bridge
Show me the way out
Somedays sometimes
I feel alone
Sometimes my mama’s house
Don’t feel like home
Sometimes my baby’s arms
Don’t feel like home
Sometimes with my friends
I feel alone
Sometimes
I feel alone
