How Real It Is |
| Always prepared… that’s why they call them «Teachers» |
| Welcome to my world… |
| Where the quarter only gives you one life |
| So you better push your buttons just right (welcome to my world, world) |
| Where any given second, anybody can get it |
| You better hold on tight |
| Cuz life can take a turn for the worse |
| And have you switching from the Coupe to the hearse |
| You better peep this verse |
| The streets ain’t no joke but man… |
| The sidewalks might get you first |
| So wherever you rest you better don’t sleep |
| Cuz like Denzel said, you could either be a wolf or a sheep |
| And that ain’t even criminology |
| I’m talkin bout the everyday 9 to 5 people, still gotta fight to eat |
| You could ride the fast lane or the train |
| The illest weapon you can load ain’t your nine, boy, load your brain |
| You ask a real live gangsta and he’ll tell ya the same (you know) |
| A lot’a dummies die young, man, simple and plain (fa'real) |
| A lot’a kids wanna show they got heart |
| So they wild out, skip class (come on man) |
| And trade book smarts for streets smarts (you know better than that) |
| But ask yourself, even if you got one target |
| Ain’t you better off with two darts? |
| In my world of rent, bills, skills, business |
| MESS AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST HOW REAL IT IS |
| (Welcome to my world of) Wins, losses, loyalties, promises |
| MESS AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST HOW REAL IT IS |
| (Yo, yo, welcome to my world of) |
| Backstabbers, parasites, slanderers, politics |
| MESS AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST HOW REAL IT IS (Y'all don’t wanna know) |
| Y’all don’t even wanna know (nope) JUST HOW REAL IT IS |
| MESS AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST HOW REAL IT IS (Welcome to my world of) |
| Bumps, bruises, scrapes, cuts, aches and blisters |
| Typhoones, monsoons, earthquakes and twisters |
| It’s the picture my life fits in |
| My whirlwind rotates, elevates and transcends |
| Watch me shine in the streets like some fresh new rims |
| Watch my enemies retreat as I collect my wins |
| Every 25 thousand I start over again |
| To renew my history so skip repentin my sins |
| Here’s some words of advice you can share with’cha friends |
| Tell em not to fall victim to the short term ends |
| Comin up fast, I’m sure you’ll impress the skins |
| But if you’re too deep you’re guaranteed to catch the bends |
| You could spread news… north, east, west and south |
| My universe will expand way beyond New York |
| You got two ears, two eyes and just one mouth |
| So look and listen both over before you talk |
| I’m keepin all my enemies outlined in chalk… |
| On the blackboard, now did you get the wrong idea? |
| I suggest you change the currents in your atmosphere |
| Once you get yourself together I’ll remain right here |
| Rent, bills, skills, business |
| MESS AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST HOW REAL IT IS |
| Backstabbers |
| Hold up… What the? |
| What? |
| Yo, yo Joe what you doin in the vocal booth, man? |
| Oh, aight |
| Uhh… uhh… uhhh. |
| uuhhh. |
| uhhh… |
| Just dance with me… dance with me |
| Ah. |
| yeah, just dance with me, dance with me, dance with me |
| What’cha know bout that? |
| Uh… |
| Just dance with me, dance with me |
| Uh-huh… Uh-ha… c’mon! |
| (We really don’t have time for this…) |
| (Let's get… let’s get back on schedule, aight?) |
| Aiyyo it’s all real, every inhale, every exhale |
| Every extra breath from birth’s been a blessin |
| Plus I go through some professin and confessin (stay calm) |
| I stay grounded with common sense in my lessons (what?) |
| Life is a test, I’m studyin not guessin (true) |
| I learn answers, ask and answer questions |
| Like Y is a chromosome, axis, cause and effect |
| So respect what the god’s manifestin |
| You can’t hesitate but you gotta be patient |
| And use wise words in every conversation |
| You gotta stack paper if you wanna stop chasin |
| There’s not much time for cartoons and PlayStation |
| It stays true throughout every nation |
| Whether you be Yankee or Haitian |
| Yard, Trini, or Bajan |
| Spanish or Asian, even African or Caucasian |
| Huh, even if you was born from claymation |
| To live out your birth right, it takes preparation |
| Your job as a man is to be the foundation |
| Cuz All Of The Above will be caused by you |
| But yo, man… … shouldn’t need no explanation… whoo. |
| Talk a lot, might as well just give it to em |
| Yo play the chorus of this shit, they gon' learn |
| Rent, bills, skills, business |
| MESS AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST HOW REAL IT IS |
| Wins, losses, loyalties, promises (gon' have to find out the hard way) |
| F AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST HOW REAL IT IS (it's on you) |
| Backstabbers, parasites, slanderers, politics |
| F AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST HOW REAL IT IS (oh shit) |
| Fat booties, baby mamas, twins, triplets |
| F AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST HOW REAL IT IS |
| AIDs, Herpes, Gonorrhea, Syphillis |
| F AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST HOW REAL IT IS |
| «D-D-D-D-DP ONE!» |
| [-- Funkmaster Flex (DP One… bring it in) |
| (Come on, we gon' rock) |
| (Show em how… take em home) |
