Hype

So many of us will sell ourselves for the "hype"
Just for a moment in the limelight 
Selling their souls for minute of fame,  just to see their names  in the big bright lights
It can't be easy living in a lie 
 You can't pay your bills but you wear million dollar hairstyles  and name brand shoes just to maintain the "hype"
The Bling Bling life and the social media likes that's all in the "hype"
Driving a Range Rover and you still paying rent. How does that spell sense ?  Just to be in the" hype " in the limelight 
Fame must  have an expensive price 
You sleep with Dick, Tom and Harry just to be on the arms of man that the media calls a star 
Yes,  the "hype " has an expensive price 
You sell your values for a moment of fame, all in the name of a" HYPE "
What an expensive price to pay for moment of fame.
