Intro Lyrics

[Intro]
Finally Famous in this, gettin'
E'rything
I say

[Verse]
I'm still dreaming bigger than I'm living
And just sleeping long enough to dream
Spent long enough in the sheets
It's time to turn it to the real thing
And turn these ideas to milli's, business into buildings
No girlfriend, you're looking for some feelings, find a dentist
Me and my crew toured around the world, shook a million hands
I never made the crowd fans, I made 'em all fam
And came back to the city that made us all men
Except we kings now, reflecting, trying to take it all in
I put the city on my back
So that way if I fall I'm crowd surfing the map
I turn mistakes into lessons, dead ends to exits
On the journey of my life, so I'm inviting y'all to get in
Let's go

[Outro]
Go, go
Go, go, go, go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The intro to Big Sean’s debut album Finally Famous revisits the KeY Wane-produced instrumental of “Memories,” the ultimate track off of the final installment of the Finally Famous mixtape trilogy. To achieve full cohesion with the ending of the mixtape series, which served as the build-up to his long-awaited debut album, Big Sean opens by playing on the first line of “Memories,” and so the album continues where the mixtapes left off.

What did Big Sean say about "Intro"?
Genius Answer

That was one of the greatest days, because I was considering quitting my job at the car wash that I was talking about earlier. I used to work there like every other summer. I was like, ‘Something has to pass.’ I was praying everyday. I just believed. I knew God sees me working hard, and then I got a phone call one day from the label, like, ‘We’re using ‘Memories’ as the intro to Sean’s album. Send us over the stems, we’re going to switch a few things up, and we’re going to send you some paperwork.’ I was just supremely hyped. I don’t know how old I was. I told myself—I always set these dates and goals—but like, ‘Man I would just love if before my 21st birthday, I get an album placement.’ Two weeks before my birthday I got the phone call. It was like speaking positives into existence. It’s some real shit man. I just prayed everyday. That was my first placement.

It’s just basically a continuation of where Finally Famous Vol. 3 ended off. It’s great that he got to expand on that on his first album, which was really just dope to me.
