He describes wanting to be the center of attention and constantly seeking validation. Karuzo mentions touring and seeing more "tits" than at the Moulin Rouge, alluding to the rockstar lifestyle. However, he feels misunderstood and finds it difficult to reach the level of fame he desires. Despite his aspirations, Karuzo still lacks money and drives the same car, which adds to his frustration. He references not even being allowed backstage at his own concerts, which has negatively impacted his happiness. The artist feels like a clown and yearns for success and the ability to afford luxury sports cars. However, he gets brought back to reality by his alarm clock, representing the harsh truth of his situation. Karuzo considers himself a killer with his microphone as his weapon, emphasizing his dedication to his craft. He references iconic figures like Frank Sinatra and optimistically orders two steaks (symbolizing success) after an album release. He plans to take a break and travel the world, believing in his potential success by saying they will only fail if he dives into the crowd during a live performance. Despite the artist's persistence and hard work, he acknowledges that he is still not famous or driving a Mercedes-Benz. He mentions the continuous effort he puts into his music, working around the clock, but still not seeing any financial rewards.

Karuzo reflects on close encounters with the police and narrowly avoiding trouble due to his possession of excess drugs.
