The Life

[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?

What you know bout this life that I live nigga?

Hey I could tell you 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?

What you know bout this life that I live nigga?

[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?

What you know bout this life that I live nigga?

Hey I could tell you 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?

What you know bout this life that I live nigga?

[Verse 2: Brisco]

I deal with stone cold killers, drug dealers, and extortionists

Ex-Convicts, Five percent is in this lawyer bitch

See, I was brought through the rugged terrain

I?m two-faced a 'cause a jack boy showed me the game

It?s four four that?s a pretty ass key

That?s the sound, we call that there a free throw

Pop you know the numbers equivalent to last week

Buyin whole sale, break it down and put it on the street

My big brother shake ice all night

A sore loser when we do, he be ready to fight

I could tell ya bout the life of a real nigga

He keep it happenin, when hatas come, he deal wid em

That?s all it take?ain?t that a bitch

She broke down wid dem troopers found all them bricks

And through all this shit

One thing I could never understand (what?)

?A snitch

[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?

What you know bout this life that I live nigga?

Hey I could tell you 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?

What you know bout this life that I live nigga?
