Real Niggaz

[Chorus: Jay-Z] Real niggas do real things Hanging with the honeys is the song I sing Real niggas do real things On the road to riches and diamond rings Real niggas do real things Bustin' my toast off the roof, drinkin' 90 proof 'til spring Real niggas do real things, check [Verse 1: Jay-Z] We started out makin', small time bacon Two little niggas bakin', talkin' 'bout whippin' cakes Get clothin' and big cheddar, hopin it gets better We had no knowledge of this shit we just was with whatever In front of your building clockin', thought I was makin' a killin' Right in front of your children, eight-ball in my side pocket They was corrupt too, disrespectin' the fiends I used to Look up to, take it or leave it, fuck you In different parts of the planet, Oakland to New York I'm hollerin' Lifetimes, he hollerin' Life's Too $hort Parallel lives and jew-els held high The Range or the rove, get exchanged, for your soul You know how the game goes, slang to get cheese And speak in Chinese, everybody gains the same dough Get your shit scarred fuckin' with my sick squad From Marcy, to the Bay y'all, we get large, bee-eeyee-otch [Chorus: Jay-Z] On the road to riches and diamond rings Real niggas do real things Hangin' with the honies is the song I sing Real niggas do real things On the road to riches and diamond rings Real niggas do real things Bustin' my toast off the roof, drinkin' 90 proof 'til spring Real niggas do real things [Verse 2: Too $hort] So now you own a record label, I got one too We on a roll now, can't nobody stop our crew You can treat us like convicts, you know we got records On the shelf and on the charts the double decker The fat donkey house down the block, belongs to me You criticize the way I walk, you wanna see my bankbook?
