[Verse 1: Chris Webby] Some of these people think I'm famous, well shit I guess I am It's like every time I go out in CT I see a fan They're like "Webby your the man", and I'm like god damn This shit is gettin' crazy even though it's been the plan Since I sat in 6th grade writin' lyrics on my hand Dreamin' of the fame and fortune every second that I can Or I could half the time now I'm finally achievin' it So if you really got yourself a dream and you believe in it Then follow it and if they hate don't worry bout the beef and shit Keep it moving everyday and not for any reason quit Your friends will say your changin', a lot will turn their backs Even though its just a job nobody looks at it like that This my way of makin' money, my fuckin' career choice And they mad I get a paycheck strictly off my voice But the bad comes with the good when you chillin' in the game Because now these chicks are DTF from the moment they hear my name Like It's Chris Webby by the way
[Verse 3: Chris Webby] So you wanna be a rap superstar and live large? You gotta work for it everyday, grind hard Takin' days off isn't in my repertoire I got a mean work ethic and endless amounts of bars They try to say I'm fake, it didn't work for the spot That's why I've got every east side burb on lock And it doesn't stop there I get bumped on the block They all spinnin' "La La La" when they be twistin' up pot And now they recognize me and haters always try me Its like because I'm finally successful they despise me Why can't you all be happy I'm a kid like you Who's just tryin' to make me some money off these shows I do If you could do it wouldn't you? That's what every kid is dreamin' of Who couldn't shoot hoops or excel in academia This is for the kids with A.D.D Who were told they won't amount to nothin', baby just look at me
This the the third song of Webby’s fall 2010 mixtape, Best In The Burbs. The beat is derived from Ellie Goulding’s Starry Eyed.
Verse one is Webby reminiscing about how far he’s come in his career. Verse two is about Mic Galper, a rapper who collaborated with Webby on Webby’s track “Cuz' I’m Drunk” and eventually turned his back on him. Verse three is about Webby’s life now that he is getting closer to the fame and fortune.
