Harsh Reality

[Chorus: Big Pun] The harsh realities of life have taken toll Even Jes' Christ forsake my soul Please tell me what price to pay to make it whole Take control, I'm makin' dough but not enough to blow JO's, they lust my flow, but ayo, I don't trust a soul The harsh realities of life have taken toll Even Jes' Christ forsake my soul Please tell me what price to pay to make it whole Take control, I'm makin' dough but not enough to blow JO's, they lust my flow, but ayo, I don't trust a soul [Verse 1: Triple Seis] Yo, yo, it's easy to forget, hard to reminiscencе It's things like this to let me know you ain't shit You smilе in my face behind the scene cloak Shit about Seis, thought I call it quits, it's all in my face Much as I fought to be here, thought I lost faith Paid dues with the clique so we all get laid How you supposed to be a man if you can't feed your fam? How we supposed to be fair? You can't heed your man It's a lot of things in life I ain't trying to understand Like who's my worst enemy? That friend I pretend to be I'm searching and I'm hurting off the memories I'll keep working while you smirking off the Hennessy Remember me? That same cat that let you sleep in his crib Same cat that keep you deep in his rib Put it all together and see what I did, made it family first Let me show you what my family's worth [Chorus: Big Pun] The harsh realities of life have taken toll Even Jes' Christ forsake my soul Please tell me what price to pay to make it whole Take control, I'm makin' dough but not enough to blow JO's, they lust my flow, but ayo, I don't trust a soul The harsh realities of life have taken toll Even Jes' Christ forsake my soul Please tell me what price to pay to make it whole Take control, I'm makin' dough but not enough to blow JO's, they lust my flow, but ayo, I don't trust a soul [Verse 2: Triple Seis] Yo, must my son cry? Son became a man I always felt your pain when I touched your hands From the church and the scams to the streets and the whore Her's seeming deeper, when you asleep in your car Way you took time to pray for me, I made through it all Look how I grew from a bad seed when everybody doubted me You gave me strength and many belief, told me "The one who left behind'll eventually take the lead" Even wrote rhymes in Spanish, you paid mine to the manage You put aside and gave time when it mattered When I left the scene, I seen your heart shattered But Pops ain't understand, you against all my plans But, shit, I save them and help, he used to tell me He grew without a father himself So I thought dealt, if I get caught, I support self Then I realized that I needed some help [Chorus: Big Pun] The harsh realities of life have taken toll Even Jes' Christ forsake my soul Please tell me what price to pay to make it whole Take control, I'm makin' dough but not enough to blow JO's, they lust my flow, but ayo, I don't trust a soul The harsh realities of life have taken toll Even Jes' Christ forsake my soul Please tell me what price to pay to make it whole Take control, I'm makin' dough but not enough to blow JO's, they lust my flow, but ayo, I don't trust a soul [Verse 3: Triple Seis] Yo, the harsh reality is you wasn't there for your kid From all the fights and the bibs, long nights in the crib Almost lost it all, most of all making a bid How she supposed to live? Forgivin', forget what you did Just handle your biz 'fore they go hand you a quiz On the strip for this triz, you got banned from the bridge What's your concept? Fed any nigga out of context You want that? I already storage your palm set Long at, had to put my contract, bubble beyond tracks Raw rap, tell me when you saw fact 'Cause what you worth in your source'll get your jaw tapped You need to do for your own, nigga, ignore that The harsh reality is I'm expressative and with there the best it is And question the message they get it This ain't event, I'ma be real to the kids Better use school before you get used, it's ad-libs [Chorus: Big Pun] The harsh realities of life have taken toll Even Jes' Christ forsake my soul Please tell me what price to pay to make it whole Take control, I'm makin' dough but not enough to blow JO's, they lust my flow, but ayo, I don't trust a soul The harsh realities of life have taken toll Even Jes' Christ forsake my soul Please tell me what price to pay to make it whole Take control, I'm makin' dough but not enough to blow JO's, they lust my flow, but ayo, I don't trust a soul The harsh realities of life have taken toll Even Jes' Christ forsake my soul Please tell me what price to pay to make it whole Take control, I'm makin' dough but not enough to blow JO's, they lust my flow, but ayo, I don't trust a soul The harsh realities of life have taken toll Even Jes' Christ forsake my soul Please tell me what price to pay to make it whole Take control, I'm makin' dough but not enough to blow JO's, they lust my flow, but ayo, I don't trust a soul
