[Verse 1: Bun B]

I always wanted to be the biggest man in somethin', had to find my place

But the world can leave a foul taste on the tongue, had to dodge a case

Had to dodge a bullet and the nigga that tried to pull it, the streets is throwed

If I don't get lean and blowed everyday, I feel just like I'ma explode

On overload and overdrive, all my life this drive I tried

I seen a lot of good niggas die 'cause somebody hated somebody lied

Or somebody snitched or somebody's a bitch, I wish I could change the past

But I gots to live in the present and pray that tomorrow this shit don't last, I'm livin' to fast

Shit, my momma asked me who I was like she ain't know me

But, to tell the truth I didn't know myself, out the house she had to throw me

Just to show me just how good I had it, I guess I couldn't see it

Mild-mannered, I just couldn't be it, but that was just the way we used to G it

One of the wrongest niggas I see or one of the strongest niggas I know

Walkin' on my tippy-toe 'cause the life I live ain't long and I know

So I put weed in the bong and I blow, stay cool calm and collected a neglected

Child that grew into a man that's widely respected

Too real

[Chorus]

I feel no pain, I can't complain

Stuck in the game, tryin' to maintain

'Cause I'm so real

[Verse 2: Pimp C]

We blow big everyday, but that don't stop our pain

Or bring back our homeboys that we done lost off in this dirty game

Got niggas doin' forty when you twenty five that's life

I guess when your career is sellin' dope somebody got to pay the price

These bitch ass niggas shife, niggas might snitch out they momma

That's why me and Leroy watch stay strapped and ready for all drama

'Cause we ain't promised tomorrow, but nigga you promised to die

Nigga can't you see you gettin' to high trippin' of that potent fry

At night I talk to God and try to understand

How people can worship false prophets and say prayers to a man

I guess they already gone, ain't nothin gone bring them back

So I just say thanks for what I got and blow on indo sacks

I still love my piece and chain, wood grain and big head ones

But I had to realise in life everything ain't always fun

I guess that's true for some, but them hoes will never win

Out here just hustlin' and grindin', tryin' to change from niggas to men

[Chorus]

I feel no pain, I can't complain

Stuck in the game, tryin' to maintain

'Cause I'm so real

[Verse 3: 3-2]

My nigga, you a hoe to me, boy, you done went off on me

Runnin' 'round with the fakin' and hatin', I'ma blast if you run up on me

I'ma do my dirt by my lonely so that nobody can snitch

This matter coulda been resolved, if you woulda came clean and paid my shit

See niggas disrespect the game but boy you'll never last

Pullin' that hoe shit sellin' your partner out for a piece of ass

And fool you claim you real but really need to be shot up

No respect for your family that's dead, don't write yo' peoples locked up

Damn, I miss my dawg he was hog to this game

Unlike bustas these days that talk down on your name

You boys is funny, I'm 'bout my money and oh so true

Mr. 3-2 when I never trusted you

I'm too real

[Chorus]

I feel no pain, I can't complain

Stuck in the game, tryin' to maintain

'Cause I'm so real
