Realest shit I wrote (Doin' life)
Realest shit I wrote (We doin' life)
Realest shit I wrote
This be the realest shit I wrote
Realest shit I wrote
Realest shit I wrote
Be the realest shit I wrote (Doin' life), yeah

For all my niggas doin' life with they day one
Who held it down when the credit wasn't A1?
You thankin' God, you was lookin' for a great one
He took a rib out your chest and He made one
To be a man and hold it down, take a brave one
When the hoes come around and you crave somethin'
My flow switch, slow the pace, this the Ma$e one
I'm not a player but I'm crushin' like the late Pun
Let's take one, go

The definition of rider
The one by my side when I had not a dollar to my name
Before a crowd would holler for Jermaine, you saw potential
Waitin' on you to hit my line was suspenseful
Back when we was kids, this was simple
Boy likes girl, girl got a man
Boy stays in lane, maybe provides a friend
Knowin' by the end buddy gon' fumble
Was far from the toughest around, buddy gon' rumble
When necessary, when niggas started talkin' reckless
Did he not step to them niggas with chest poked out?
Over you, that 'Ville come out, no doubt
We fell in love, but my dreams you ain't know 'bout
You knew I rap, but, you ain't know 'bout both of my goals
Wanna take over the globe through a mic'
And one day me and you be doin' life

All types of games are being played, how's it goin' down? (Yeah)
It's on 'til it's gone and I gots to know now (Yeah)
Is you with me or what? A nigga really think he in love (Uh-huh)
I put this ring on you forever, what's up?

Uh, the puppy love had grown and now it's full blown
Since childhood, I vowed to have a good home
White picket fence with wife cookin'
Yellow rice for a couple kids that's nice lookin'
And I promise to treat her right
Unlike what I had seen in my life as examples, marriages in shambles
And I can tell I found a real one
Smart, loyal, and real pretty, we can build somethin'
But first, I got work to do
So when I'm spendin' nights locked in on that mic', please, don't take it personal
My skills is growin', the flows more versatile
My name's ringin' and on the evenin', I heard the news
I'm gettin' a deal, the first one I called was you
Even though we been off-and-on a few years
And through tears on rainy nights that you would wipe
I always knew that we'd be doin' life

All types of games are being played, how's it goin' down? (Yeah)
It's on 'til it's gone and I gots to know now (Yeah)
Is you with me or what? A nigga really think he in love (Uh-huh)

The temptation of other lovers is a hard one
To overcome when you're young and your star's done
A line that women that wouldn't give you time is callin' you fine
Lust creeps all through your mind, I'm tryin' my hardest
To remember why I'm an artist
Is it for bitches and the riches?
You all suspicious, and you should be
I'm doin' dirt, but it's not as much as I could be
That make me feel better
I'm driftin' away slowly, that make you feel bitter
The Devil on my shoulder tellin' me, "Quit her"
Angel on the opposite side sayin, "Stick with her"
God tellin' me pick whichever is in my heart
Looked inside myself to a place beyond thought
And found out who I want to be
Slowly, but surely he cut off his hoes
If you gon' do it, do it right
Put ring on your finger, now, me and you is doin' life

All types of games are being played, how's it goin' down? (Yeah)
It's on 'til it's gone and I gots to know now (Yeah)
Is you with me or what? A nigga really think he in love (Uh-huh)

I done wrote a lot of songs, but this is gotta be my realest one
Shoutout to anybody that really know what it's like to do life with somebody
Through the ups, the downs, the goods, the bads, through thick and thin
In a time where they make it so easy to just give up
Know what I mean?

Sunny days, rainy nights, I know
Should be there for me, no matter what
If I miss your call, I'ma call back
Never too far, no, I'm never too far
Wherever you are, that's where I'm at (Show me where you are)

I don't ever want you to regret these moves
Sometimes the win is hidden in the lose
I wish life was longer, like an interlude
I got way more songs I wanna sing with you
I thought I was strong, 'til I saw what you went through
The birth of my sons, and each time, my mind was blown
Yeah, each time, my mind was blown

I owe you patience and a lot of grace
I owe you flowers and a prodigy
I owe you time watching movies that I hate
I owe you chocolates and red velvet cake
Oh, wait, you don't like red velvet no more
Yeah, that's right, out of spite, hoes jealous of yours
Used to write about my life, but I ain't tellin' no more
Stay the fuck up out my business
Drop the triple-double last week at Lifetime Fitness
Bitch, wild shit, broke fingers, wrinkles gettin' soaked
What's the point of bein' rich if I gotta do the dishes?
I give a fuck what niggas think about me
I know they couldn't know a thing about me
And my loyalty, she hold you down
And you gotta move accordingly
I got a good one, she feel like royalty

I don't ever want you to regret these moves
Sometimes the win is hidden in the lose
I wish life was longer, like an interlude
I got way more songs I wanna sing with you
I thought I was strong, 'til I saw what you went through
The birth of my sons, and each time, my mind was blown
Yeah, each time, my mind was blown

Ooh
Ooh

Lonely nights with lots of money
Times I wish I had no money
How can I be sure you love me?
It's not like you're betting your best years on me
Best years on me
Best years on me
Do I like livin' like this?
Maybe I'm fine wasting my time
Beautiful eyes washed down with wine (Mmh)
Maybe it's time I accept my own
Orí bá, kò bá, kò
Orí bá, kò bá, kò
And it no easy

And I'm coming
Maybe it's time I accept you, ooh

Longing for
My baby to love me more
What am I longing for?
I'm not really secure
What am I longing for?
My baby to love me more
What am I longing for?
I'm not really secure
When, when, when, when
Can we see each other again? Hey

Hey Pa, I've been checking you out from long distance
Digging your existence, can I offer my assistance?
They say a dude is only as cool as his talk is
But I know that you real because your walk is
You got a beautiful smile, your heart's big as life
And it's full of gold, though you pay a heavy price
Nobody knows about the depression and the strife
And the fight to stand strong against women who entice
They don't respect your call, they don't respect your wife
You're tired, and you're weak, and you could blow it all tonight
'Cause everybody thinks that you're a man of steel
Like you don't hurt and you don't feel, but they wrong
I swear I've watched you keep yourself far from the drama
Taking many hits to your armor
I've seen you walk miles with the crown, but alone, you walked farther
Now walk into the arms of your father
And let him build you up and supply everythin' you've been needin'
I'm here watching, and I'm in a scene where you gon' make it, Pa
