What's up Fatlip? Lyrics
[Fatlip]
Feelin' downtrodden
Fresh kid turned rotten
I can't believe how naive that 've gotten.
Over the years seems like I'm gettin' dumber
Reminiscing to a time when I was younger with a hunger
Full a dreams, determination, self-esteem
But now it seems they hesitate to be on my team
You know the routine, when you winnin' and grinnin'
All up in your face, like they was wi'ch you from the beginnin'
But on the flipside,
When you washed up like a riptide
Fools clown 'bout how you slipped and let shit slide
Beside the fact
My voice is wack
Clowns is runnin' around, talkin' 'bout I smoke crack
Ain't got no homies that got my back
Yeah I'm a brotha, but some times I don't feel black
My girl is white
My game idn't tight
Niggas who ain't seen me in a while be like "Dude, you aight?"
Who am I kiddin', who am I foolin'
When they be like "What's up Fatlip?," and I say "Coolin'"
Who am I kiddin', who am I foolin'
When they be like "What's up Fatlip?," and I say "Coolin'"
Who am I kiddin', who am I foolin'
When they be like "What's up Fatlip?," and I say "Coolin'"
Who am I kiddin', who am I foolin'
When they be like
[Fat Lip]
Blowin' like a sucka almost every day
In the back of your mind you prob'ly thinkin' I was gay
But naw, I'm just a bitch ass nigga
The type that get jacked if I was a rich ass nigga
See I been a loser just about all my life
Type that try turn a ho to a housewife
What do you expect
I give respect
And feel for hoes niggas keep in check
I'm far from hard
Emotionally scarred
On Pico Boulevard
I was regarded as a retard
I make myself sick
Get on my own nerves
Immature, insecure,
Grown up nerd
Has-been MC
On a label that's unstable
Choppin' bliggy on a table
Who am I kiddin', who am I foolin'
When they be like "What's up Fatlip?," and I say "Coolin'"
Who am I kiddin', who am I foolin'
When they be like "What's up Fatlip?," and I say "Coolin'"
Who am I kiddin', who am I foolin'
When they be like "What's up Fatlip?," and I say "Coolin'"
who am I kiddin', who am I foolin'
when they be like "What's up Fatlip?" (ahh)

this is one of the best rap songs ive ever heard.
i think it's just about how much of a loser he thinks he is.
"I can't believe I'm like E then I'm coppin"
that should be "i can't believe how naive that i've gotten"
it's difficult to make out on the song but on the Spkie Jonze video collection he speaks the lyrics and you can make it out pretty clearly
The problem with it is that you almost believe his esteem is that low.
i love the breakbot remix to this song...
A lot of hip-hop lyrics are self-promotional, but Fatlip turns that theme on its head here and explores his insecurity--and creates a pretty catchy jam in the process.
Look up the Spike Jonze short done on the video for this song. It's on youtube. He tells you the meaning straight up.
