[Intro]
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 a 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 job's fuckin' her over
On time every day but yet the boss won't promote her
He's racist she say and assaultin' in some way
Gon' see him on his off day, I let him know
You fucks with moms no mo' when I draw the fo'-fo'
Will the headlines read, "Boy's Last Heart As His Mind Sparks Bleed"
And he probably get the chair if good reason ain't there
I tell the judge my excuses for the crimes I 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
Baby now hol' up, wait a minute, this rap game just got in it
And plus Camden say in due time, the world'll be mine
Die famous
[Chorus]
Even though I can't show my pain it's hard to be nameless
Nigga gotta die to be famous
Will I cry, die painless? Hard to explain this
Live my life to die famous
[Verse 2]
I'm surrounded by Bloods, Crips, and drug dealers, it's all love with us
But disrespect, you catch slugs, nigga
I hang with 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
And fuckin with them dope boys, had me low crazy
You know it's crucial when I'm sellin' to my folk figure
Dope fiend's genes are hereditary
Papa was a rollin' stone, and I ain't grown
Left this lil' nigga all alone, now his nigga grown
Genetic game that you passed on
Got so many niggas I done blast on, tryna get my cash on
Liquor's in the system now
Ho's wantin' me to hit it, but I'm distant now
They got me wild, I know it's foul
But respect my lifestyle, it isn't fair
Before I'm legal be a millionaire
[Chorus]
Even though I can't show my pain it's hard to be nameless
Nigga gotta die to be famous
Will I cry, die painless? Hard to explain this
Live my life to die famous
Even though I can't show my pain it's hard to be nameless
Nigga gotta die to be famous
Will I cry, die painless? Hard to explain this
Live my life to die famous
[Verse 3]
Woke up this mornin', saw the news flash, special report
The judge gave a nigga life 'cause the boy shot up the court
Witness we die for our niggas, pullin' triggers for a livin'
And we takin' any and everything that we wasn't given
'Cause hard times, keep a nigga writin' hard rhymes
Stash 9's never been a nigga scared to squeeze mines
Freeze time, when I stop your heart
'Cause the slugs that I'm spittin' is the spot that get dark
You die famous, you be the nigga I shot
But still nameless, 'cause they can't 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, do us right in the slug
Forget the sex, baby, 'cause I'm addicted to fame
You make me bust just by screamin' my name
And when I die, I die famous
[Chorus]
Even though I can't show my pain it's hard to be nameless
Nigga gotta die to be famous
Will I cry, die painless? Hard to explain this
Live my life to die famous
Even though I can't show my pain it's hard to be nameless
Nigga gotta die to be famous
Will I cry, die painless? Hard to explain this
Live my life to die famous
Even though I can't show my pain it's hard to be nameless
Nigga gotta die to be famous
Will I cry, die painless? Hard to explain this
Live my life to die famous
Even though I can't show my pain it's hard to be nameless
Nigga gotta die to be famous
Will I cry, die painless? Hard to explain this
Live my life to die famous
Even though I can't show my pain it's hard to be nameless
Nigga gotta die to be famous
Will I cry, die painless? Hard to explain this
Live my life to die famous
Even though I can't show my pain it's hard to be nameless
Nigga gotta die to be famous
Will I cry, die painless? Hard to explain this
Live my life to die famous
[Outro]
This time you'll see
Young World, baby
We tired of goin' unnamed
We tired of goin' unnoticed
Lived in the ghetto for years now
We movin' to the hills, nigga
C'mon, bring the 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 don't matter how hard it get
No matter how hard you try
You keep tryin nigga
You keep tryin nigga
Nigga the world is yours
