Forget the Fame Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
I come from a hood where everybody standin' on the corner
What you need some weed, speed, or some marijuana
You can get it right here or get it down there
But when the laws pull up get away from 'round thereNow niggas think that niggas started changin'
Just 'cause a nigga got a platinum chain hanging
I still got the same niggas that I'm down with
If a nigga owe me money we gon' shoot down shitI use to sell work I use to sell pints
But now I'm doing shit, I gotta 3 million in the bank
I done made a lot of moves, I done paid a lot of dues
And if you fuck with me, you might make tonights newsNow niggas get on TV and forget they partnas

The ones who keep it real come to your shows with the choppas
The one who bring that drank bring that weed to ya house
My niggas down with me they represent the south, uhI want the money
I don't give a fuck about the fame
No matter how rich I get
Lil' Flip will never changeI want the money
I dont give a fuck about the fame
I do this shit so my partnas
Won't have ta slang caneNow everytime I get back somebody went to jail
But they taught us don't go to school and you'll fail
I didn't go to college but it's money in my wallet
And I just bought a Jag with 0 mileageNow keep it like Flip you know I'm tryin' to rap
And you was hatin' on me nigga you might get slapped
Ya telephone taped ya got the hood hot matter of fact
It don't look good for you to be standing on the blockNigga, what about the cops they rollin' and lookin'
And everybody know what you sellin' and cookin'
So get yo mind right, nigga stay out the streets
You seen what I did, now I play with these beatsI want the money
I don't give a fuck about the fame
No matter how rich I get
Lil' Flip will never changeI want the money
I dont give a fuck about the fame
I do this shit so my partnas
Won't have ta slang caneI'm like a hundred dollar bill, I'm hard ta change
And now it's funny everybody ain't acting the same
Rule one, never let niggas learn ya business
Rule two, never, ever, ever burn ya bridgesI had niggas that was hatin', smilin' in my face
Way before, "Buy the car, by the house" and "Diamonds in ya face"
Now they see me in the streets like I wanna do a song
Nigga you's a hoe cry babies go home'Cause you ain't selling records, don't get mad
'Cause you see me ballin' hard in a drop top Jag
When you see me at the source chunk up the duece
'Cause I represent Cloverland jumpin' out my Coupe
I still gon' be the same nigga on the scene
I'm still gon' be the only freestyle kingI want the money
I don't give a fuck about the fame
No matter how rich I get
Lil' Flip will never changeI want the money
I dont give a fuck about the fame
I do this shit so my partnas
Won't have ta slang cane

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Wesley Eric Weston, Jr. (born March 3, 1981), better known by his stage name Lil' Flip, is a multi-Platinum American rapper. He is known for his freestyle ability and claims to have been on 1000 mixtapes.

Lil' Flip's career was launched when he released his first album "The Leprechaun". The album quickly gained national attention and spawned the hit single "I Can Do That". The album sold over 100,000 copies regionally and gained attention from Def Jam South, A & R, and well-known Houston rapper Scarface. He was briefly signed to Def Jam, but abruptly left the label a few years later after concerns about his financial earnings. He soon signed to Loud Records and began recording his first national debut album.

While recording his album, he was apparently shot by unknown assailants in a drive-by shooting. He survived the attack and pressed on to finish the album. At the age of 20, Lil' Flip released his sophomore album "Undaground Legend", his first nationally released album, which included the hit single "The Way We Ball" and a remix to his hit "I Can Do That". The album reached platinum status even though it didn't get much promotion from Loud Records.

Lil' Flip recorded his third album "U Gotta Feel Me" on Sony Records. This album was more commercial and featured Ludacris, Three 6 Mafia, and others. The album debuted at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #3 on the Hip-Hop/R&B charts. It quickly became a crossover success with the Billboard Hot 100 Top 20 single "Game Over". The single used the Namco Pac-Man beat and the video showed Lil' Flip getting a tattoo while rapping to the single. The single reached #1 on the hip-hop charts. His follow-up single, the lover's anthem "Sunshine" featuring Lea, became the second hit single on Lil' Flip's album and went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. It gained numerous requests on MTV 2 and BET. The album was certified double platinum.

Lil' Flip is known for his unique screwed style of freestyling (a form of slowed down rap technique) and for always releasing double disc CDs whenever he releases an album. He credits all of his success to the late DJ Screw and has tattooed DJ Screw's name on his arms. Lil' Flip has been credited for his lyrics by Three 6 Mafia, David Banner, Fam-Lay, Young Buck, UGK, Ludacris, among others. He has announced himself as the "King of The South" and the "Freestyle King".
