Lyrics

Is what you see real? Is this bullshit out here real? Is what they selling you real? Pay attention Here's the real We all want a nice car laying up in a tight house Buying up tonight's bar laying up with a tight spouse But when you look where you are there ain't nothing nice about Your situation, all it does is incite the doubt I was told work hard and nothing against you Withstand, just stick to it, but none of that shit's true I critique my life and even though I sleep at night Being right, I ask honestly, what did it get you? An adult at fifteen, I hadn't prepared much Receives by twenty-five that I had to take care of While my peers were frolicking daily I'm in an angry marriage and dealing with a colicky baby And it's not that I regret children, it's just feeling That I'm left dealing with more when I should've kept building Picture me when in doorways watching Death Feeling Remembering life while I forget living with Women I'm chilling, playing the rock So I can't make songs about a chick breaking my heart I just drink a forty and watch them take it apart And I would light blunts that way I could stay in the dark Explain it for what, you don't need to know details 'Cause black men are told don't cry over females Can't be Devo when you emo 'cause crying over these hoes Will get your ghetto pass repo'd and we don't help If it did for most of you it just Makes me forget the shit I'm supposed to do Lie to myself about things I know is true Didn't want to see failure and just got a closer view Is it real? The cars and the jewels and the women Is it real? The jobs and the bills and the children Is it real? The hustling so you can get by Is it real? The hustling so you can survive Is it real? The cars and the jewels and the women Is it real? The jobs and the bills and the children Is it real? The hustling so you can get by Is it real? The hustling so you can survive I got issues I'm hoping to work through Used to be 'bout revolution, find myself going in circles I wish I could speak as often as my nigga Immortal But when you got kids and a mortgage you can't really afford to I feel I got points I'm wanting to make Problem is half of my audience doesn't relate But if you listen carefully you'll be better off 'Cause I'm not ahead of my time kid, I'm ahead of yours I'm much more than Maltese and metaphors I gotta get mine and if not I'm getting yours I'm trapped, described as thug and partly A little mainstream or I'm something artsy Sometimes I remind them of Big, sometimes a slick Rick Or maybe it's some other kid Can't really pin down my style so they wondering if It's the next Ready to Die, nah I'm wanting to live I got reasons like Phil Bailey But would you mind if I hit the L? 'Cause man it gets real crazy Kids you thought you could trust are still shady Then it's these long days at the job The stress from that alone weighs on your heart All this and maintain a flow that raises the bar? All praises to God, though atheists debate But when you been through what I been Through that faith stays in your heart Most of y'all ain't aware of this And get away with the carelessness Contribute to that youthful arrogance So y'all ain't hearing this But you a youngin and I understand There's a lot you ain't experienced in life Is it real? The cars and the jewels and the women Is it real? The jobs and the bills and the children Is it real? The hustling so you can get by Is it real? The hustling so you can survive Is it real? The cars and the jewels and the women Is it real? The jobs and the bills and the children Is it real? The hustling so you can get by Is it real? The hustling so you can survive Is it real? The cars and the jewels and the women Is it real? The jobs and the bills and the children Is it real? The hustling so you can get by Is it real? The hustling so you can survive Is it real? The cars and the jewels and the women Is it real? The jobs and the bills and the children Is it real? The hustling so you can get by Is it real? The hustling so you can survive
