Hi, this is the Lifestyles of the Rich and Today we're interviewing Lil' Flip, up man So Lil' Flip me, how long have you been rapping? Man, I've been ever since
1995 I was in junior I saw a lotta shit, so I was glad to be A lot of people died, but a lot of here And when I turned 15, my vision got
It's time to be a man, time to make a It's to make a hundred, but it's best to make a grand My granny got sick and they found cancer We got to pay the but God got the answer
The went good, my Granny doin' well My takin' off, so I can't go to jail And to my niggas on the block, sellin' rocks 'Cause tell the truth you can't outsmart the cops
You see what I did, I only drop Choppin' up game, choppin' up bricks And some niggas 'cause they can't take the heat How we go buy a system when the system got his beat
Hey, I'm the home of the Astros, home of the Rockets Born to rap yo, a microphone in my pocket Always thought I was grown, you tell me nothin' I would shit if you tried to tell me somethin'
But I that, I had some minor setbacks Old people thought my future be jet black All my years growin' up, I thought life was a You make it real far, thinkin' life is a game
Yet we a couple of friends, I almost lost my brother I don't know what would've happened if we lost each is somethin' new, I just take it in strides You only got one life, so the ride
Sometimes I was paid, sometimes I was Me and Gray started hustlin' but my Mama know But it's cool, 'cause now I'm into this The man gave us a gift and we to use it
And if you real close you'll see That you can be you, and I can be me Because can't ever live my life but me But you will see what I see like me, ha, me, ha
'Cause you don't know I've been through (So you judge me) And you don't know what I and I won't do (So you judge me)
And you don't know I've been through (So you judge me) And you don't know I will and I won't do (So you shouldn't me)
It's gettin' harder now I just don't Why the people in the world the black man All I can say, is pray and let it be Live right and try your not to end up like me
See I was the nigga that slang dope and cars I stopped before it led behind bars Heart aches and scars, help me my way today I got a decision to make
Now do I wanna right or continue goin' wrong I'm never at home, music keep a nigga gone But this is gets me, who are you to judge 'Cause I'm young and black, people still hold a
Just a nudge now'd push me over the end When I was 14, I lost a very close And ever then my life ain't been the same That's the biggest reason why I had to a change
Never a book by it's cover, a man by his wealth And if you already on your feet why you help somebody else This what I was taught, so that's what I by 'Cause you can't take none of this shit with you you die
So I try to keep my head high But these bird ass niggas jump fly Should I 'em out the game, nah, I'ma use my brain I'm a kill 'em with kindness, and up my name
I from nothin', and now I got a little change A nigga now but I went through some pain And it rain, there's gone be some sunshine I never thought I could put my whole life in one
you don't know what I've been through (So you judge me) And you don't know I will and I won't do (So you judge me)
And you don't what I've been through (So you shouldn't me) And you don't know what I will and I do (So you shouldn't me)
