Hi this is the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous[00:00:01]
Today we're interviewing Lil' Flip (what's up man)[00:00:04]
So Lil' Flip tell me how long have you been rapping[00:00:09]
(man I've been rapping ever since) [00:00:12]
1995 I was in junior high[00:00:15]
I saw a lot of shit so I was glad to be alive[00:00:18]
A lot of people died but a lot of people here[00:00:21]
And when I turned 15 my vision got clear[00:00:24]
It's time to be a man time to make a plan[00:00:27]
It's cool to make a hundred but it's best to make a grand[00:00:30]
My Granny got sick and then they found cancer[00:00:33]
We got to pay the doctors but God got the answer[00:00:36]
The surgery went good my Granny doing well[00:00:39]
My baby on the way so I can't go to jail[00:00:41]
And to my niggas on the block stop selling rocks[00:00:44]
Cause I'm gonna tell the truth you can't outsmart the cops[00:00:47]
You see what I did I only drop hits[00:00:50]
Chopping up game y'all chopping up bricks[00:00:53]
And some niggas snitch cause they can't take the heat[00:00:56]
How we gone go buy a system when the system got his beat[00:00:59]
Hey I'm from the home of the Astros home of the Rockets[00:01:02]
Born a rapper with a microphone in my pocket[00:01:06]
Always thought I was grown you couldn't tell me nothing[00:01:09]
I would talk shit if you tried to tell me something[00:01:12]
But I regret that I had some minor setbacks[00:01:15]
Old people thought my future would be jet black[00:01:18]
All my years growing up I thought life was a game[00:01:21]
You can't make it real far thinking life is a game[00:01:23]
Yeah we lost a couple of friends I almost lost my brother[00:01:26]
I don't know what would of happened if we lost each other[00:01:29]
Everyday is something new I just take it in stride[00:01:32]
You only got one life so enjoy the ride[00:01:35]
Sometimes I was paid sometimes I was broke[00:01:38]
Me and Gray started hustling but my mama didn't know[00:01:41]
But it's cool cause now I'm into this music[00:01:44]
The man gave us a gift and we loving to use it[00:01:47]
And if you look real close you'll see[00:01:50]
That you can only be you and I can be me[00:01:52]
Cause can't nobody ever live my life but me[00:01:55]
But you will never see what I see like me huh me[00:01:58]
And you don't know what I've been through[00:02:02]
So you shouldn't judge me[00:02:05]
And you don't know what I will and I won't do[00:02:08]
So you shouldn't judge me[00:02:10]
And you don't know what I've been through[00:02:14]
So you shouldn't judge me[00:02:16]
And you don't know what I will and I won't do[00:02:20]
So you shouldn't judge me[00:02:22]
It's getting harder now I just don't understand[00:02:26]
Why the people in the world disgrace the black man[00:02:28]
All that I could say is pray and let it be[00:02:31]
Live right and try your best not to end up like me[00:02:34]
See I was the nigga that slang dope and steal cars[00:02:37]
Glad I stopped before it led behind bars[00:02:40]
Heart aches and scars help me feel my way[00:02:43]
Understand today I got a decision to make[00:02:46]
Now do I wanna live right or continue going wrong[00:02:49]
I'm never at home this music keep a nigga gone[00:02:52]
But this is what gets me who are you to judge[00:02:55]
Cause I'm young and black people still hold a grudge[00:02:58]
Just a nudge right now'd push me over the end[00:03:01]
When I was 14 I lost a very close friend[00:03:03]
And ever since then my life ain't been the same[00:03:07]
That's the biggest reason why I had to make a change[00:03:10]
Never judge a book by it's cover a man by his wealth[00:03:13]
And if you already on your feet why don't you help somebody else[00:03:16]
This what I was taught so that's what I live by[00:03:19]
Cause you can't take none of this shit with you when you die[00:03:22]
So everyday I try to keep my head high[00:03:25]
But these bird ass niggas always jump fly[00:03:28]
Should I take em out the game naw I'm gonna use my brain[00:03:31]
I'm gonna kill em with kindness and blow up my name[00:03:34]
I came from nothing and now I got a little change[00:03:37]
A nigga happy now but I went through some pain[00:03:40]
And everytime it rain there's gone be some sunshine[00:03:42]
I never thought I could put my whole life in one rhyme[00:03:46]
And you don't know what I've been through[00:03:49]
So you shouldn't judge me[00:03:51]
And you don't know what I will and I won't do[00:03:55]
So you shouldn't judge me[00:03:57]
And you don't know what I've been through[00:04:01]
So you shouldn't judge me[00:04:03]
And you don't know what I will and I won't do[00:04:06]
So you shouldn't judge me[00:04:09]
