[Verse 1: T.I.] I bet you niggas thinking that I living it up 'Til you see polices laughing as they picking me up Went from seeing how many bitches I can fit in the truck To 3 hots and a cot is you kidding or what f*ck how Many millions I got nigga so what if I'm hot when I got prices on my head Feds rushing my spot a million Haters won't me dead force to carry mе gat But you a seven time fеlon what you doing with that It's a catch 22 either you lose or lose That's the way the game structured for real niggas to suffer And I ain't never Been a busta alway stood on my feet Like a man prepared to take what ever coming for me A pussy nigga Or polices wit a warrant for me I'm a "G" prepared to die for what's important to me Look anybody in the Eye who say they want it wit me Put up the house and bet the odds if coming from me OG's say I need to Learn and be patient You telling me wit these seven years of probation Pistol charges and a host of Other open cases If niggas only knew the kind of time I was facing I tried to keep to myself but Sometime I couldn't take it Got 4 kids wit smiles on they faces Mean more to me than my crown and my bracelet Take that away from me and my life is butt naked [Chorus: T.I.] I could tell ya bout the life of a real nigga I could tell ya bout the life that I live nigga What you know bout the life of a real nigga?
