"When You're Famous"

(Intro)
I'm on the boulevards I'm selling CD-Rs
The backs of them scarred with 16 of my songs
5 bucks what I charge one hour six of 'em of gone
My knot is getting large I'm out here going hard but

(Chorus) 2x
Man, I hate it when they say this
'Cause I don't know how to take it
Putting all this pressure on me to make it (uh huh)
What they saying? When you're famous
What they saying? When you're famous
What they saying? When you're famous
Don't forget bout me! (Aye!)

(Verse 1)
I've been rapping seriously ever since 14
Nigga it's been my only dream to be the Hip-Hop king
So I've done a whole lot of things tryna get on the scene
At 15 Ronnie put me in "Down South" magazine
Didn't know what it mean or much less who would see
Hell a nigga didn't even get a copy of the thing
See I just I knew I could rap at least I wanted to rap
See back then I was wack I'm now accepting the fact
But I wouldn't take back those early days with my tracks
In high school selling CDs out of plastic case wraps
Man, I'm having flashbacks memories flooding in
Made stacks selling tapes right before lunch would end
Had a song called "Fuck Ya Friend" sold it to a bunch of friends
Much of them will say that's my best to this day
Aye.. Those were my early days in tryna make it
But even they would still say it don't forget me when famous

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)
What you think I'mma do? Get amnesia out of the blue?
To everyone say who you? To even my mama too?
Buy myself a new crew? My old friendships are through
Like "Sorry, Stew, but I need a yes-man in a suit"
Convince myself that it's true I did it all by my lonely
With no cronies or homies the ropes nobody showed
Some guy said I was phony I said prove it, man, show me
He said "Your head's obviously blowing! It's your brother it's Tony!"
Ha.. These girls like remember me when you're celebrity
Like telling me is getting in my memory indefinitely
But I don't mind it especially when they break bread
Helping put a roof over my bed will keep you in my head
Yeah.. But when the day ends I don't depend
On being famous as the end to my anguish
This my life I won't change it on the pathway to make it
I just don't like the pressure when they put that sentence together

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
I've never been the type to switch up in my life
And become a person you don't like if previously we were tight
That's not the reason I write that's not the reason I fight
Just to be speaking on the mics
It's for the people I earn stripes
Everyone that put a dollar down on Top Billion
Everyone I know that rides around to Top Billion
Tellin' all ya friends to listen now to Top Billion
I love it and it makes me proud as Top Billion
Ya'll the people that I won't forget when the Devils cut the check
I'm throwing ones on everyone every time in my set
I put in blood, tears, and sweat just to arrive
Ya'll the people inside who don't want me back outside
I appreciate it so much I can't say it
You're the greatest for tryna help a young nigga make it
I still fuckin' hate it when you mothafuckas say it
But you won't see me frustrated when you tell me get famous
