[Intro]

If I lie, I die

[Hook 1]

? hustle was the realest nigga never know

But it's not what you know it's who you know

My uncle said, never chase the hoes

Chase the dough; the money bring the hoes

My mama said yo friends not yo friends

Yo bros yo bros they gon' roll in the end

It's not what you know it's who you know

This the realest shit I ever quote

[Verse 1]

I keep it realer, my mama is a gold digger

She just got stuck with a broke nigga

And I just got with a so-called dad

Who got stuck with a son he wish he never had

Walkin in the crib with skinny jeans, they call me fag

Now I'm in them Gucci loafers stuntin' on his ass

I should laugh, like why you mad?

Should I bust this nut, in the fuckin' mag

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? I get more head than no bodies

Never had shit since the days of whitey tighties

My twelth grade year, I was floodin' like tsunamis

But I still got love cause they seen a nigga grindin'

Let me simulate this picture worth paintin'

They try to leave these young niggas stankin'

Slaves was first people plankin'

Life's a bitch, no matter how you take it

[Hook 2]

Tunk was the realest nigga I never know

But it's not what you know it's who you know

My uncle said never chase these hoes

Chase the money, the money bring the hoes

My mama said yo friends not yo friends

Yo bros yo bros they gon' roll in the end

It's not what you know it's who you know

Boy, this the realest shit you ever quote

[Verse 2]

Why lie, just to keep hope alive?

Don't know who my dad is, you think Imma cry?

IF the good die young do the bad die?

If I say it once do my ass fry?

Hope not, cause this life we livin' is so hard knock

Police invade yo home, after some hard knocks

80's fucked us up after that hard rock

These niggas bucked up, they call it Woodstcok

No fear, no belief

I shed so many tears I could fill a sink

No God, no relief

Love run deep, share it with me

Cause Imma die one day

Hope it's on Monday cause Jesus rolls on a Sunday

I feel like every day is judgement day

Hell is my dream, Imma wake up one day

[Outro]

My life was ill, hard to get a meal

But when I got a meal, still searchin' for a mil

Moms told I was gon' make it, only came to one of my shows

Husband not really my dad, so I don't expect much mo'

But til 3 months ago, I didn't know that shit

I'm 'bout to have a Kanye moment in this bitch

18 years. 18 years, I'm 18 years old and my real dad long gone?

RIP Tunk, the realest nigga I never know

Cause he passed away, before I got grown

That's my grandpa, they say I got his looks

Named after him, that's probably why I'm overlooked

So it gotta be somebody prayin' for me

Cause I done had crackheads stayin' with me

Havin to sleep on the boxspring, windbreaker in the winter nigga it is not spring

Havin' to put on clothes when I know they not clean

Havin' to empty out a toilet when I gotta pee

Havin' to put on a coat when I gotta sleep

Wakin' out my fuckin' sleep, cause my momma gettin beat

But shit, this just real life scenarios

Gettin' jumped at the bus stop, headed to the studio

My nigga Cari know, man these niggas slow

Day after day, I go through this shit

Skinny nigga; they say I'm unfit

They shot my uncle until he looked like Emmett Till

This can't be life, this can't be real

They hate behind yo back

I know they place they bets

Can't tell if you bein sarcastic when you tell me to break a leg

These niggas bitches

Talkin' bout they bustin' lead

Nigga, you wouldn't even break a leg

Stupid

I wouldn't either, why lie nigga

I wanna go to heaven, when I die nigga

So god, please forgive me for my sins

I was just brought in this world

I don't even know how this shit gon' end

That's just real shit
