Our babies being born same time a man is murdered
|
No beginning or end, as far as rap go
|
It's only natural I explain my plateau
|
And also what defines my name
|
|
It's only cop with real niggas that this game will see
|
Ask God to bless them niggas whether in prison or deceased
|
'Cause I only cop around niggas that ever did it for me
|
That's why I pray for them real 'fore I fall asleep
|
Remember getting that call from Kem C three weeks 'fore he died
|
He said this sweet y'all nigga, I said what's happening, it's Plies
|
He told my mate he kinda cold but I fought with you, nigga
|
Told I'd listen to your newly, yeah, you sung to me, nigga
|
You told me whatever you do, nigga, don't change up shit
|
Them niggas gonna try to box you out every chance they get
|
I told him I earned a pocket full of stones, I thought I was in
|
And when I talked to Grey all he talked about was him
|
That commissary necessary, all the fame rely
|
That red Bentley that you have that my favorite ride
|
I told him shit, he should've sold it to me
|
He told me some but ain't a mili, motherfucker, that's real
|
He told me that shit that you spin, nigga, you speaking for us
|
He told me money in a hold, don't let them cross you up
|
Ted G, prison gates, send a salute from prison
|
And 'fore you hang up tell '
|
|
Can't let the real niggas down

|
They told me if I wanna sell a record then don't rap 'bout that
|
I told 'em I'm speaking for the real, I don't give a fuck about that
|
I looked my partner in his eyes and told him I would never change
|
I told him money separate us, we weren't as real as we claimed
|
Told him I'd never switch out, they were loyal to me
|
I told him I'd never turn south, he never did it to me
|
Them pussy niggas now what's up, that I knew I wouldn't be
|
And if a nigga ever rated, then that just mean he was weak
|
Nigga, the real stay real, nigga, that's how I was trained
|
Niggas loyal over riots and that never changed
|
You a pussy before you blew and now you're just a pussy with fame
|
And niggas sticking to the strip, that shit far between
|
I'mma stand on what I stand on till they put me to dirt
|
Don't let a nigga turn you far just 'cause he did at you first
|
They ask me if I can work from home, well, that shit be a dream
|
I told 'em to work with Soldier Slim, that would've been more me
|

|
I got a letter from a nigga doing double life
|
Said he heard Paint a Picture, first time he cried in his life
|
Said I ain't cried when they sentenced me, I just took it and rolled
|
Said his heart fell asleep 'cause his dogs who told
|
He said he 19 now, he been down for three
|
He told me Plies ' for me
|
He said I walked cross the mirror and them dogs don't speak
|
'Cause he told on some niggas way back in '03
|
They kept it too real shit, now I know what you mean
|
He said it hurt when you get snaked by the ones in your team
|
He said I only call home see if you brought something new
|
He said the words and how you spit them is what will get me through
|
He said it seems like you the only nigga rapping, ain't you?
|
They use the hood, get rich, then they all disappear
|
He send a letter to the industry, we need a part two
|
In my cell they want me to tell you fought with you, too
