Lil' Flip - Gotta Be Me lyrics

[Chorus: Cresia] And I just gotta be me...me...me And I'm gonna stay s**a free...free...free And I just gotta be me... (Lil' Flip) I'm an 18 year old CEO I got fans thats dyin to see me flow My favorite movie is CB-4 H$E Click you know we throwed I'm 6 foot 1 on the digital scale I'm a ghetto star and a man as well And I'm all about my mail like a man in jail I wonder if I put my tape out, can it sell? Only time will tell how many copies get sold And I pray to god that I live to get old Cuz half of my homeboys already dead And the other half doin time with the feds I'm like the CincinnatI Reds I'm playin ball for the pennant And if I fall while I'm tryin I start from the beginning They say practice make perfect and it really paid off I'm my own boss now so I can't get laid off And I'm gonna stay the same flip no matter what it takes And I won't stop rappin no matter how much I make Whether I'm rich or broke i'ma still crack jokes And I never turn my back on mobbin foes [Chorus] (Lil' Flip) I done been through a lot of pain At an early age ??? gave me silent game I got knowledge but I didn't get it from college man I'm not gonna change because I'm flyin private planes And if I don't work, my pockets hurt Man it costs a lot of money livin on this earth Everybody got to shine but it's my turn The early bird gets the worm that's what I learned Ever since I was a kid I had to ball I don't smoke cigarettes and I hate alcohol I went from being a janitor to a manager When you become a star with me, wanna dance with yah I'm gonna keep my platinum teeth and my pants saggin Now everybody wanna jump on the band waggon I ain't braggin, because I got a little change I ain't gonna let my head blow up cuz I got a little fame Now when my cousin died things got a little strange I know the block is hot just ask lil wayne Everybody dream about goin to hollywood But look how fast I turned clover land into ??? [Chorus] (Lil' Flip) Everyday I'm on the paper chase I gotta win first place in this paper race A lot of kids around the world wanna take my place But momma said boy don't let nobody take your space That's why I pay attention, so I can see It ain't the army but I'm bein all I can be So everyday I shop like I hit the lottery I'm Lil' Flip that's the only thing I gotta be [Chorus]
