Yo I seen shorty on the staircase in front of an empty beer case[00:00:01]
Weird face almost like it was "Scared Straight "[00:00:05]
Like he ain't have a care in life (uh) wipin tears from his eyes[00:00:08]
That already appeared to have been dried[00:00:11]
We chopped it said he was adopted[00:00:13]
And there's a lot of sh*t he just tucks in his closet (uh)[00:00:15]
Real calm said he'd always feel harm[00:00:18]
And all he want to do is meet his real dad and real mom[00:00:20]
All the nice home and clothes do is remind me (how when)[00:00:23]
In all these years they ain't even tried to find me[00:00:26]
Never mind love I feel like they never liked me[00:00:29]
If I thought there was a God I would ask the ni**a "why me "[00:00:31]
But some things you better off havin never knew[00:00:34]
Maybe they wanted better for you than they could ever do[00:00:36]
You got a family I see that you don't care for them[00:00:39]
But love gon' always be love no matter where it's from[00:00:42]
What if I said your moms couldn't give birth[00:00:45]
Contemplated leavin Earth 'til you brought her life worth[00:00:47]
Whatever you goin through could always be much worse[00:00:49]
Don't make a mistake mistakin your blessings for a curse (so)[00:00:51]
So told dude you in the right place right here[00:00:54]
Can't run to your corner when life don't wanna fight fair (talk to 'em)[00:00:57]
Things'll become quite clear[00:01:00]
When you decide to wake up and stop havin fantasies about a nightmare (oh yeah)[00:01:01]
They don't see who you are[00:01:06]
They too busy posin[00:01:09]
But the front won't go far[00:01:12]
Just thank God your fantasy ain't real - real life[00:01:13]
You got everything but they got nothin[00:01:19]
Fantasy to real life[00:01:21]
You got everything but they got nothin[00:01:23]
Yeah you damn right she on her high horse[00:01:26]
She say “don't worry 'bout hers ni**a ride yours”[00:01:29]
Before you talk clean your own backyard[00:01:31]
Souped up and sought after by the athletes and rap stars (uh)[00:01:34]
Developin a name creepin to fame[00:01:37]
She quick to trade her vagina for a seat at the game[00:01:39]
And it's so foul she don't see the shame[00:01:41]
In the act or the fact that she view it as an equal exchange (oh )[00:01:44]
But she stay with the newest on Louboutins[00:01:47]
Buyin groceries with coupons sleepin on a futon[00:01:49]
No self-esteem to cover her lack of confidence[00:01:52]
She get on Twitter retweetin all the compliments[00:01:55]
Pretty face nice strut with a nice butt[00:01:57]
Disguise of a slut only tryin to get wifed up[00:01:59]
But when it's party time she won't be a second late[00:02:03]
Once she leaves V I P it's back home to Section 8[00:02:06]
What confused me[00:02:08]
Is niggaz tried to kick it but she come across bougie in her best[00:02:09]
Friend's jewelry[00:02:12]
Part-time mother (but) but somethin real shady when her[00:02:13]
Two year old daughter much closer to the babysitter (uh)[00:02:16]
Cry when she alone product of a broke down home (yeah)[00:02:18]
Won't change 'cause she already grown (talk to 'em)[00:02:21]
Already set in her ways no need in tryin to help (talk to 'em)[00:02:23]
So she'd rather find wealth before she can find herself (oh yeah)[00:02:26]
They don't see who you are[00:02:29]
They too busy posin[00:02:32]
But the front won't go far[00:02:35]
Just thank God your fantasy ain't real - real life[00:02:37]
You got everything but they got nothin[00:02:41]
Fantasy to real life[00:02:44]
You got everything but they got nothin[00:02:46]
You can be what you want[00:02:50]
But it's too much for ya to let go[00:02:52]
Ain't got to be somethin else[00:02:54]
Better off just bein yourself[00:02:57]
Ain't gonna get you far[00:03:01]
When you gonna wake up and deal with the real life [00:03:02]
To real life[00:03:05]
Real quick let me introduce y'all to Maverick[00:03:08]
Lifetime addict who recently kicked the habit (uh)[00:03:13]
Lookin for a job companies won't let him have it[00:03:15]
'Cause there's drug and gun charges up and down his whole jacket (uh)[00:03:18]
Constantly rejected can't deal with the aggravation (so)[00:03:21]
So now he scared to be honest on the application[00:03:22]
Past caught up 'cause every door shuts like "sorry we can't help ya"[00:03:25]
Then it's back home to the shelter (oh )[00:03:30]
Nothin to lose givin up like many other minions[00:03:32]
Pendin his trial in the court of public opinion[00:03:33]
'Til he got a call from a temp agency[00:03:36]
Said they had a void asked could he fill the vacancy (okay)[00:03:39]
Unlike what he appears been employee of the month for a year (I guess)[00:03:42]
Self doubt is related to fear[00:03:45]
And they'll never replace him[00:03:47]
If ya gonna catch up with your dreams gotta be willin to chase them (oh )[00:03:48]
They don't see who you are[00:03:52]
They just see your posin[00:03:55]
But the front won't go far[00:03:58]
You can turn your fantasy to real - real life[00:04:00]
You got everything but they got nothin[00:04:05]
Fantasy to real life[00:04:08]
You got everything but they got nothin nothin nothin[00:04:11]
