[Intro]

(Gangsta One): "Yo... This is the realist' and illest shit dawg...this ain' no pussy white-boy shit...this is real life..."

[Chrous]

Real life...
Guns, Gangstas, and Hoes...
Real life...
Where life will take you...who knows..?
Real life...
Yo, think 'bout it when you take some time...
Real life...
Listen to this shi', and vibe...

[Verse 1]
Yo, I'm gonna keep this shi' for real//
I don' give a fuck, how ya'll niggas feel//
When I'm hittin' them clubs with them hoes//
One night, get drunk, One night, get high...who knows?// <Inhaling>
Well, my night life may be a regular superstars life//
But during the day, I got' to keep shi' real with my wife//
I guess you could say life has been good...//
At least, for a nigga who grew up in the 'Hood...// <Gun shot>
I'm rich now, from sellin' records and producin'//
My pimpin' days are now long over, I've quit shootin'//
Real life used to be suriviven'//
A day-to-day routine was to prevent yourself from dyin'//
Real life was facin' the fact that you or your loved ones could get shot// <"Agh!">
Ma niggas and I were all wanted, we were all hot//
A normal day's events: Run, hide, duck...//
A normal night's events: Smoke weed, drink, we don't give a fuck//
Ya, I still got beef with some niggas...//
Some show up one my doorstep...fuck them niggas...//
Yo, dawg...24/7 in the 'Hood: Strife//
Yo, dawg...This is real life...//

[ChorusX2]

[Verse 2]

Yo. back in the day, I was always the hottest man//
All the bithes who walked by, be like: "Damn!"// <"That nigga is hot...">
But, in the 'Hood, somebody always wanted that nigga//
Always wanted to pop that nigga//
Always wanted to fuck that nigga//
Always wanted to push that nigga...// <"Fuck u doin, boy!?">
Well, whoever was there for you in the 'Hood, ain' there//
Whateva's fair in the 'Hood, ain' fair//
Whateva nigga's good to you, nice and clean//
Ain' the fuckin man he is, he's dirty and mean//
At midnight, all you can hear is screams//
Of bitches gettin' raped, or some man getting what he dreams//
Well, the Game's over now, at least for me...//
I can just sit back and watch, and we'll see...//
You can ask any other rap master//
Though, they may tell it a lot faster//
DMX, 50-Cent, Dr.Dre...//
They all have the same shit, to share, to say...//

[ChorusX2]

[Outro]

(Gangsta One): "Now that is what real life is...or at least what it used to be...but now...who the fuck knows about now..?"
