Real Life In Rap Lyrics by Joe Budden

Real Life In Rap Lyrics

    [Intro/Chorus: repeat 2X]
    I hate y'all duuuuuuudes
    That get real life and rap confuuuuuuused
    Don't get it fucked up, and don't get shoooot
    Tryin to be somethin you're nooooot
    -- my niggaz want war, whatchu think you good for?

    [Joe Budden]
    Yeah you talk like them threats is real
    A pine box, closed casket and mommy's black dress is real
    I only spit what I live, and I play my part, feds know
    You just talkin burners cause your A&R said so
    Don't play the game like it's just a scrimmage
    Don't think that what you hearrrin is just a image
    How your songs though? You never spent a day in the bing
    Niggaz is movin they mouths but they ain't sayin a thing
    Half y'all vets is heartless and rep regardless
    Only time you seen a courtroom was pressin charges
    How you baggin up white, but won't scrap in a fight
    Sheeeeit, c'mon mayne, shit ain't addin up right
    When shit's thick, whatchu gon' do with that pound
    But real recognize real, you must be new in this town
    All I'm hearin is another nigga's life over tracks
    And you lames ain't willin to lose your life over rap

    [Chorus]

    [Joe Budden]
    Tired of hearin 'bout you rap dudes comin with the guns
    Never caught a body, had the smell comin from the trunk
    (And umm) I'm tired of hearin 'bout your 4's bust
    While I was cuffed on a up North bus
    Y'all fucked on a tour bus
    All them stories 'bout you gettin money with gangsters
    (Guess what?) The shit is pretty funny to gangsters
    I'm tired of hearin 'bout that gat in your boot
    Cause when it's said and done
    and you finished that rap in the booth, it's back to the truth
    And your shit is glass thug (and you) never outside
    Cause youse a in the lab thug (youse a) pen and pad thug
    It sounds good, you ain't pushin work in the projects
    But you spittin 'bout it when you work on your project
    Clown answer back, y'all never seen the hammers flash
    Just photo shoots when cameras flash
    All I'm hearin is another nigga's life over tracks
    And you lames ain't willin to lose your life over rap

    [Chorus]

    [Joe Budden]
    In direct beef between rappers, they be all thugs
    See each other in the street and dap, it's all love
    War stories ain't yours about the pounds your man got
    Only time you move bricks is when the SoundScan drop
    You ain't never cooked NOTHIN by that kitchen sink
    And the only time you been behind bars was fixin a drink
    You actin a fool, got real life and rap confused
    With them ten o'clock songs, you just rappin the news
    But I ain't mad atcha flow, he tryin to stack his dough
    But everybody's a thug until them ratchets show
    The same dudes that rap about (they get) stuck for all the 1's
    And if everybody's a killer, where the fuck is all the punks?
    I hope you gettin your loot; just remember
    what you spit in the booth
    There's other people that's livin proof
    Y'all cats with all the mouth, just stay in your lane
    And pray that a real NUCCA don't decide to call you out

    [Chorus]
