Life Is Real |
Boogie man, boogie man, boogie man |
BOOGIE MAN! |
(Hello children!) |
My whole life is real |
My life |
A-ha, Brooklyn you know |
My life, it’s a real thang |
Listen |
My whole life is real, morning news and nights is real |
What I spit and I write is real, cuz my life is real |
My own life is ILL! |
Filled with magic’s strife to scale |
Sun bright, no time to chill, got all type of bills |
I got seeds I gotta feed with this |
They be needin shit, I got ex-wife beef and shit |
That’s how deep it get |
My whole life is real, my whole life is ill |
A fantastic, a beautiful mess |
And life nigga in America: the usual stress |
I do it to the up, low, the east and the west, I |
Do it to most, I do it to death |
I do so it good they don’t know what to do with theyselves |
Well do this: MOVE! |
Back, forward, mo' |
Life is real, let’s move on |
My whole life is real, morning news and nights is real |
What I spit and I write is real, cuz my life is ILL |
Filled with magic’s strife to scale |
Sun bright, no time to chill |
Got all type of bills |
I got seeds I gotta feed with this |
I got streets I gotta reach with this |
That’s how deep it get |
My whole life is ill, my whole life is real |
Mornings, noon’s, nights |
Birthdays, workdays, holidays, funerals. |
the usual |
Life is real! |
Sunday to Monday, school, your gunplay, politics, bullshit |
Life is real! |
Shootings, stabbing, free tray, arrest |
Crush, kill, destroy, cheques |
Death. |
rebirth |
Reach the world but touch the street first |
Life goin in every direction but rewind |
Niggas is waiting for the light to dive down |
On a park a hustler plays the hide out |
Somebody’s gotta notice it’s a matter of time before the world fine out |
The earth dry out and push the hintin to high ground, life style--Hostile |
Real, life real real |
So real, too real, news real--edited |
The close up block out the rest of it |
True evident, false measurement |
Crunk superstar, thug president |
Tricks allegiance, M-def payment ship |
Scribe lively, so timely, that is timeless |
And is lovely, and is ugly, as it must be |
My whole life is real, ha-haa! |
Brooklyn know |
My life my |
B.X. |

Real niggas all over the world |
My life my {*4X*), it’s a real thang |
Whoooo! |
Boogie man! |
