What a life My life is real Wavy hair, mystique Up in this bitch deep Chain with some sick feet Corner of 10th street Scoop me in the MPV I'm holding big heat Soloist, vocalist, maestro This fish grease Rest in peace Polo, he see us I was just with G Just like Ra, E Me and Preem, this history Young ones abuelas Jesus candles, bodegas Hallways playing some Gangstar Who was there? They gon' say Nas Look at us now De La, Mobb, Rae, Ghost and Rick Big up Big L, Prodigy Trugoy, they live Martyrs, if you will A legend has it cartel I'm on jets with giants I'm Bill Parcell PTSD, project trauma still dwells Happiness gotta be in you Money can't help So salute to the men that never hit the pen black We got to the bread and still live to spend that What a life I'm a man, Ima die about it Feel the pain, but I'm not gon' cry about it Tell the truth, cause ain't no reason to lie about it Invisible fingers playing chords on my haunted piano I'm a man, Ima die about it Feel the pain, but I'm not gon' cry about it Tell the truth, cause ain't no reason to lie about it Invisible fingers playing chords Already classic before you heard it The spoiler was all my feature verses I lined it up kinda perfect and then I hurled it Rhymes in my minds like pearls and oysters Boss of bosses Morpheus on my bullshit The illest style right here Till I got white hair Getting foul type stares We ahead light years We come out, the shift starts So let the fifth spark Turn the light switch off Drive a block, switch cars Toss the face mask and gloves Damn, I just caught a buzz Pulled another hit on the beat Guess who the victim was? Guess who get reconfigured? The whole industry does Premier you my n**** because We became the men our mothers prayed for Maybe even exceeded their expectations or Maybe they always knew While tying up our baby's shoes What was waiting that brewed and the souls of a chosen few This ain't just talk, it's true What a life I'm a man, Ima die about it Feel the pain, but I'm not gon' cry about it Tell the truth, cause ain't no reason to lie about it Invisible fingers playing chords on my haunted piano I'm a man, Ima die about it Feel the pain, but I'm not gon' cry about it Tell the truth, cause ain't no reason to lie about it Invisible fingers playing chords My Life Is Real
