Die Famous - 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 
in the rush to live plush and can't wait no longer 
sick of seein moms workin comin home back hurtin 
Cryin on my shoulder cuz the jobs workin her over 
More time everyday but yet the boss just won't promote her 
He's racist she say and assaultin in some way 
go and see him on his off day I let him know 
you fuck wit moms no mo' when I draw the 44 
when the headlines read 
boys last heart was his mind for greed 
and he'll probly get the chair good reason ain't 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 shit 
something ain't 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 
cockin the glock kickin the cardoor 
maybe not hold up 
wait a minute 
this rap game just got in it 
and plus game I play, in due time 
the world'll be mine 

Chorus: Lil' Zane 

Even though I can't show my pain, it's hard to be nameless 
Nigga gotta die to be famous 
Well 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 
just expect to catch slugs nigga 
i hang wit cut throat 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' genes are hereditary 
papa was a rollin stone 
and I ain't grown 
left his lil nigga all alone 
now his nigga grown 
genetic game that you passed on 
guess how many niggas ive done blast on 
tryin to get my cash on 
niggas in the system now 
ho's wantin me to hit it 
but I'm pissin 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] 
woke up this morning I 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 never been a nigga scared to squeeze mines 
freeze time, when I stop your heart 
cuz the slugs that i'm spittin they just pop like a dart 
I die famous, you be the nigga I shot 
but still nameless, cuz they cant figure the plot 
my crew stainless, when we inhalin the 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 6x 
(i know alot of times) 
(we go unnoticed) 
(they act like they dont love us) 
(but I love you thats all that counts) 
(we love you thats all that counts) 
(it's hard to explain why we die famous) 
(but we do it baby) 
(c'mon) 
(boy we gotta get noticed) 
(we go to school but you dont see that) 
(we live but you dont 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 
no matter how hard you try 
you keep tryin nigga 
nigga the world is yours
