Lil Zane Die Famous Lyrics

what will it take for you to notice me
it's like I'm not here
do you see us can you see us down here
we have a bad habit of lookin over people
but this time I'm gon' die famous and everybody gon' know

[verse 1]
I'm just a skinny n____ tryin to get bigger and grow stronger
and the Rush to live plush and cant wait no longer
sick of seein moms workin
comin home back hurtin
cryin on my shoulder cuz the jobs f___in her over
more time everyday
but just the boss wont promote her
he's racist she say and a__aultin in someway
gon' see him on his off day
playa let him know
you f___s wit moms no mo' when I draw the 44
when the headlines read
boys laughs hard while his mom's boss bleed
and he'll probly get the chair for good reason aint there
tell the judge my excuses for the crimes i've committed
I was high when I did it
smoked a pound of jays herb
in the heat of the night
my mind clicked up on some other s___
something aint right
met him in the parking lot
he was comin out his parking spot
bet nobody see it out there
it stay dark alot
went for the handle but the door was locked
at the same time
c___in the glock kickin the car door
maybe not hold up
wait a minute
this rap game just got in it
and plus game will till ya in due
the world'll be mine

Chorus: Lil' Zane

Even though I can't show my pain, it's hard to be nameless
n____s gotta die to be famous
If I die famous, hard to explain this
I live a life to die famous

[verse 2]
i'm surrounded by bloods,crips,and drug dealers
it's all love wit us
But disrespect to catch slugs n____
i hang wit cut throat n____s
that'll choke yo n____s
tie you up and rope yo n____s
for rap or for dope baby
when I was young couldn't picture bein broke baby
then f___in wit them dope boys
had me low crazy
you know it's crucial when I'm sellin to my folk figure
dope fiend genes are hereditary
Papa was a roll of stone
and I ain't grown
left this lil n____ all alone
now as n____ grown
ginetic game that you passed on
guess how many n____s ive passed gone
tryna get my cash on
n____s in the system now
ho's wantin me to hit it
but I'm dissin now
they got me wild
I know its foul, but respect my life style
It isn't fair, before I'm legal I'll be a millionaire

chorus 2X's

[verse 3]
wake up this morning saw the news flash, special report
the judge gave a n____ life, the boy shot up the court
witness we die for a n____
pullin triggas for a livin
and we takin any and everything that we wasnt given
cuz hard times, keep a n____ writin hard rhymes
stash 9's run up in a n____ ain't scared to squeeze mines
freeze time, when I stop your heart
cuz the slugs that i'm spittin is the spot that could stop
I die famous, you be the n____ I shot
but still nameless, cuz they cant figure the plot
my crew stainless, and we inhaling tha pot
and ain't nobody gettin bigger than the n____s we got
we worldwide, but we ride for a nation of thugs
we burnin heaters if you cheat us
treat us right then it's love
and forget the s__ baby
cuz I'm addicted to fame
you make me bust just by screamin my name
and when I die I die famous
