Gotta be me

[chorus: Cresia]

And I just gotta be me...me...me

And I'm gonna stay sucka 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]
