| Slow motion baby, unh
|
| Tell you what I see through these eyes
|
| All we do is speak the truth
|
| Shit is realla then real
|
| Shit is realla then real
|
| My true niggas walk wit me, yeah
|
| They ride wit me, cook pies wit me, ya heard?
|
| Lord I keep hollering, I hope you listening
|
| How come I’m still stressed and even though the squad’s glistening?
|
| Why you had to take Pun, someone so young
|
| Had so much more to live for, as real as they come
|
| Dead man can’t talk that’s why your hearing one side of the story
|
| But did they tell you how he provided for forty
|
| Family members, grandmas to shorties
|
| Even my seeds ate off the big homie
|
| How could you deceive your kids like that?
|
| Make 'em believe they dad wasn’t worth jack
|
| Listen to the facts as The Don pours his heart on this track
|
| How could I jus stand there and not react?
|
| And I’m jus about sick of all you side line niggas
|
| You know, do anything for the lime light niggas
|
| I’m defending your honor, my brother from anotha momma
|
| I never thought I’d see the day they tried to send you byna
|
| Shit is realla then you think, man you must not know
|
| It takes a lot to walk a day in the life of Fat Joe
|
| The place I’m from, MTV don’t wanna film
|
| Jus a simple dice game will get a muthafucka killed
|
| The ghetto ain’t a place that you wanna take lightly
|
| Same cat that’ll spill you, will end up with your wifey
|
| I’ve seen it all that’s why I’ve picked up the pen
|
| To keep your boy from serving life in the pen, ya heard?
|
| Fuck, the flu season, nowadays it’s sue season
|
| Can’t even go to the clubs and show my people love
|
| Cuz soon as shit pop off niggas knuckle love
|
| Niggas accusing me of fuckin 'em up!
|
| I’m like «hold up, ain’t they supposed to be dogs?»
|
| Part time live niggas dabbeling drugs
|
| See a rapper think of a lucrative deal
|
| But youse a bitch if you choosing to squeel
|
| It’s more than obvious you don’t know a thing about honor
|
| But what goes around comes around, you’ll soon learn about karma-
|
| As for me I stay being the realest
|
| Admired by politicans, street thugs and killers
|
| I keep feeding the street but the street feed back
|
| Is that police tryna see Joe back in green slacks
|
| But never that, see I keep long money
|
| And if you looking for that you’ll never see a cent from me
|
| Motherfucker!
|
| Yo, unh, I stay grinding, everybody counted me out
|
| Now I’m rewinding in my summer beach house
|
| If I’m not in the studio I’m out on tour
|
| Busting my ass to make my fans future secure
|
| Nowadays everybody want somethin for nothin
|
| All of a sudden niggas talkin like «Joey be frontin»
|
| The hood screaming Crack done changed, he don’t holla
|
| I know now B.I.G., Mo Money Mo Problems
|
| Jealousy’s a muthafucka
|
| Who’d a thought the same niggas you be feeding be the muthafuckaz coming for ya
|
| I’m not stressin, I was born a warrior
|
| Plus I’m too big, too strong, too wise for ya
|
| When it’s all said and done I follow my dreams
|
| Could have ended up dead or in jail given the scheme of things
|
| To let you know I’m the reason you still walking
|
| If I said something it was me, not the liquor talking |
