[Intro]
And this is my life
Take note
Try understand
[Chorus]
So many days I find myself drifting away
Keep picturing paradise
So many times I've dreamed about being the greatest
With superstar status
How many times must I lay down at night
Thinking that my life's gonna go right?
This ain't a game
Nah, it's too real to be a game
[Verse 1]
This ain't a game, this is my life
Forget dreaming, I'm gonna make it happen now
I won't ever back down 'til I'm king of this sound
It's time to make it happen, true
I've been around for a while, mastered my style
Ready to make it happen
There's quite a few clowns out there that wanna test this
I'm telling you, you could make it happen, trust
They're praying for us not to buss
Praying my team split or more of us get locked up
But nah, we stay focused, dedicated
Avoid most things crime-related
Believe, we've waited so long, now we've finally come
Peeps know who's number one, we come second to none
Bury any sound under the sun
N.A.S.T.Y. wins will be outcome, haha
[Chorus]
So many days I find myself drifting away
Keep picturing paradise
So many times I've dreamed about being the greatest
With superstar status
How many times must I lay down at night
Thinking that my life's gonna go right?
This ain't a game
Nah, it's too real to be a game
[Verse 2]
Everyday is just more beef, more gunshots, more police
Patrolling the streets but they ain't helping
The world's changed and the ghetto's getting much worse
More deaths, more births
You'd be shocked how many man shot work
And through this, they've never seen a day's work
Brothers live for the perks of the ghetto life
The perks being pushing Mercs in the ghetto life
Now question the mentality of this verse
See my perspective; have I just come across negative?
You might find it controversial
But something negative will always have a positive outcome
So work it out, son; the smart ones
Keep spilling the papes and invest in a business
And can't be affiliated with nuttin' that ain't legit
They're just minding your business
[Chorus]
So many days I find myself drifting away
Keep picturing paradise
So many times I've dreamed about being the greatest
With superstar status
How many times must I lay down at night
Thinking that my life's gonna go right?
This ain't a game
Nah, it's too real to be a game
[Verse 3]
There's always room for improvement
Know that if you're good, it doesn't mean that you can't do better
Never let fame get to ya
'Cause you can be loved today, not cared about tomorrow
What this game can do to ya
If you're not careful, leave how your thinking messed up
You know I ain't going out like that
Complacency will just lead to a vacancy
I wish everybody thought like that; dedication
You can't rob wealth, here's your verification
I feel like I ain't as good as people say I am
I know I can spit ten times better than I've ever done
Watch me rise with the morning sun
This prophecy won't fail
God make sure we prevail; this style, you can tell's
Been mastered, crafted ever so well
[Chorus]
So many days I find myself drifting away
Keep picturing paradise
So many times I've dreamed about being the greatest
With superstar status
How many times must I lay down at night
Thinking that my life's gonna go right?
This ain't a game
Nah, it's too real to be a game
[Chorus]
So many days I find myself drifting away
Keep picturing paradise
So many times I've dreamed about being the greatest
With superstar status
How many times must I lay down at night
Thinking that my life's gonna go right?
This ain't a game
Nah, it's too real to be a game
