(feat. Skillz, Carlitta Durand)



[Intro: Phonte]

Girl, whatchu MEAN you don't recognize me?!

I'm only the biggest rap star in yo' apartment complex, eh! (Hahaha!)

OH! Uh, uh... and another one

My nigga Nottz on the beat...uh, and another one, c'mon



[Chorus x2: Carlitta Durand]

Everybody stop the presses

Make way for the talk of the town

'cause I'm the life of the party

Take a look at me now!



[Phonte:]

Uh, I'm the cow's milk, I'm the bee's knees

I'm the life of the party, you know you see me

And all my team in harmony like the Bee Gees

Our name in bright lights like it's 3D

People stop and stare, "Look what them boys got"

We cain't afford Cris', frontin like we boycott

We on the same page, we all on one accord

Little do they know we all came in one Accord

and them people get sad cause they thank we should be mad

at all them niggaz wit big money and big chains

But the way I see it, as long as I don't blow

Each and ev'ry year, I'll be the next big thang!

Ten years later, niggaz still on the verge

Same gray Nissan sittin on the curb

I know, you was thankin it'd be gettin on my nerves

But maaan, goddamn, this feeling is superb!

It's giving me the urge, to write this

Even though I say it in jest, I'm not jokin in fact

Some niggaz spend they lifetime tryna headline

But it's so much better bein your opening act

So to all of my "Almost Famous" halfway 

superstar niggaz, we gon' rock up there

We bout to get it started, I'm the life of the party

You sheep-ass niggaz can shut the +flock+ up, baaah!



[Chorus x2]



[Rapper Big Pooh:]

It's like, here we go, uh! Then we stopped

"Oh we back on?" Then the album dropped

Release date came, then the album flopped

A stale piece of gum woulda had more pop

So I'm headed right back to the shop

The new Geto Boys, yo +We Can't Be Stopped+

Unless we standin outside at the spot

I hear my record playin but nobody know about, uh

Pooh and Tay, two boys from the South

who sounds so dope when these words come out!

Standin in the cold, naw I ain't gold

but I'm on the list, now I'm gettin pissed

"Somebody's fired, who organized this?

'Getback' is a pretty cold dish!" Ha!

So we in, went my way to the bar

Had Goose lime juice, baby recognize the star

The she pointed out one to two

and ask me what I do, I'm like, "Yo, you not cute!"

I told her, "Take the look at the suit!

Wish I knew voodoo, I'd pulled a root

on you folk, make you see what I see

that Poobie is a star, he don't need TV"

Then she said she don't even need me

Picked up a drink, switched in the V.I.P., holla!



[Chorus x2]



[Skillz:]

Uh-huh, I'm like, "Girl, I'm the life of the party"

She said, "No you ain't!

If you was a star, my lil' sister see you on 'Fame'"

I leaned over like, "Mama, how you doin today?"

She said, "You ain't famous, boy! Won't you get out the way!"

I'm like, "DAYUM, why it gotta be like that?

Man you gotta know Skillz if you listen to rap"

She said "We listen to Dee, we listen to Jay

I love Lil' Wayne, but the clique say he gay"

Said, "Whatever chu's rock, that's what we were

You ain't Chingy, you ain't Nelly, won't chu go over thurr!"

She said, "I love 50, but I still roll with Game

I like that 'Rap Up' guy, but I don't know his name"

She said, "I love that jam, man that song is HOT!"

I'm like, "That's MY song!" She's like "No it's not!"

Later on I'm on stage and she recognize me

Her hands went up, and I hit her wit a fuckin CD, bam!
