Relatively obscure song, but great nonetheless.

She stuck a cell phone camera right into my face
With a flick of my wrist I filled her nose full of mace
The cops wanna know what was wrong with me
Didn t give me to explain it see
It ain t her fault for being careless
It s ain t her fault for being brainless
It ain t her fault for being hopeless
But it s my fault for being famous
I m at the LAX just a-checkin my bag
When up comes a little paparazzi scumbag
I took a laptop slapped him up the side his head
The cops wanted to know why I left him for dead
It ain t his fault for bein nameless
It ain t his fault for bein thoughtless
It ain t his thought for bein shameless
But it s my fault for bein famous
(Let her go, boy)
I had a sweet old lady walk up to me
Wanted to get a photograph for her grandson to see
And as the digital camera lit up the place
She unloaded a chrome 45 in my face
But it ain t her fault for bein ruthless
Ain t her fault for bein toothless
Ain t her fault for bein blameless
But it s my fault for bein famous
