[Lil` Zane]
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 nigga tryin to get bigger and grow stronger
and the lust to live plush and can`t wait no longer
sick of seein moms workin comin home back hurtin
Cryin on my shoulder cuz the job`s workin her over
On time everyday but the boss won`t promote her
He`s racist she say and assaultin in some way
Gon` see him on his off day, gon` let him know
You fucks wit moms no mo` when I drive the 44
When the headlines read, Boy`s Last Heart Was His Mind For Greed
And he`ll probably get the chair if good reason ain`t there
tell the judge my excuses for the crimes I`ve committed
I was high when I did it
Worked a pound of Jay`s herb, in the heat of the night
my mind clicked up on some other shit, something ain`t right
met in the parking lot
he was comin out his parking spot
Bet nobody see it out there, it stay dark a lot
Went for the handle but the door was locked
At the same time cockin the glock kickin the car door
maybe not hold up, wait a minute
this rap game just got in it
and plus game I`m sayin two times
the world`ll be mine
[Chorus: Lil` Zane]
Gonna be famous, hard to be nameless
Niggas gotta die to be famous
If I die famous, hard to explain this
I live a life to die famous
[Verse 2]
hustle money by Bloods, Crips, and drug dealers
It`s all love wit us but disrespect, you catch slugs nigga
I hang wit cutthroat niggas that`ll choke yo niggas
Tie you up and rope yo niggas for rap or for dope baby
when I was young couldn`t picture bein broke baby
then fuckin wit them dope boys
had me low crazy
you know it`s crucial when I`m sellin to my folk figure
dope fiends mixed genes
Papa was a rolling stone and I ain`t grown
Left this lil nigga all alone, now a nigga grown
Genetic game that you passed on
Guess how many niggas I`ve passed gone, niggas in the system now
Ho`s wantin me to hit it, but I`m dissin now
They got me wild, I know it`s foul
but respect my lifestyle, it isn`t fair
Before I`m legal I`ll be a millionaire
chorus 2X`s
[Verse 3]
Woke up this morning and saw the news flash, special report
the judge gave a nigga life cuz the boy shot up the court
witness we die for niggas
pullin triggas for a livin
and we takin any and everything that we wasnt given
cuz hard times, keep a nigga keep writin hard rhymes
stash 9`s run up in a nigga 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 nigga I shot
but still nameless, cuz they cant figure the plot
my crew stainless, and we aint hailin no pot
and ain`t nobody gettin bigger than the niggas we got
we worldwide, but we ride for a nation of thugs
we burnin heaters if you cheat us
dudes workin the slugs
And get the sex baby cuz I`m addicted to fame
You make me bust just by screamin my name
and when I die I die famous
[Chorus]
(Yes!)
[Chorus]
(Why do we have to die)
[Chorus]
(I know a lot of times.. we go unnoticed)
(They act like they don`t love us)
(But I love you that`s all that counts)
[Chorus]
(We love you thats all that counts)
(It`s hard to explain why we die famous)
(But we do it baby)
(C`mon)
[Chorus] - repeat 2X
(Boy we gotta get noticed)
(We go to school but you don`t see that)
(We live but you don`t see that)
(This is how we know)
(This is you`ll see)
Young world baby
We tired of goin unnamed
We tired of goin unnoticed
We`ve lived in the ghetto for years now
We movin to the hills nigga
C`mon
Bringin wood to the hood
Y`all know what it is
Young world
I put my life on the line for y`all
I love y`all
It dont matter how hard it get
Know matter how hard you try, you keep tryin nigga
Nigga the world is yours
