歌词
[Verse 1]
If you ain't real about it, don't talk
If you ain't real about it, don't talk
[Verse 2]
It's ninety degrees on the corner in the summer heat
Dreamin' of beach houses, mad ladies and Hummer jeeps
Got another beep, now it's time to watch a brother creep
And pull another scam, not yet the man but the brother's deep
Ain't tryna stay in this life for too long
You tellin' me that I'm bound to lose but you wrong
I'm too strong, plus me and my team's got a true bond
I'll stay in these streets, you say in the house where you belong
[Verse 3]
Yo, who's wrong, you never had to live in my shoes
And my view's that every second is vital
The way I see it, ****'s, the way I G it
A raw ghetto entrepreneur, yeah, I be it
Not as glamorous as the gangster flicks
I'll show you some gangster chicks
That hold me down, we get rich
And get this, bet this, I'm after Payola
The loot, the paper, till my hustlin' daze are over
[Verse 4]
I'm a hustler, a hustler, hmm
Gotta get the dough to win
And I'm a baller, yeah, baller, shot caller
I pack plenty of steel, plenty of steel
For **** that wanna be actin' ill
All the player haters stay off my nuts
While we handlin' business
[Verse 5]
Illegal business, I need to invest in somethin' legit
This money's comin' too quick, I copped a house and two whips
Who switched it, not me, I'm keepin' it real
Keepin' the steel while the envious watch hungry
I'm eatin' my meal late nights, there ain't no time for stage frights
This ain't fiction, it's my mission to get paid, alright?
No need to speak about greed, long as I'm feedin' my seed
Then I'm completin' the deed so I'm keepin' this cheese
[Verse 6]
High-priced lawyers, I'm too nice for ya
Never touchin' the work no more, too precise for ya
Controllin' the town, holdin' it down
I'm the Master Allah now, I'm showin' you style
I go in your file and make you hard to locate
Delete all your data, don't disregard your fate
I'll off you then I'm off with a honey like suave bola
Shit, I'm livin' this life till my hustlin' daze are over
[Verse 7]
I'm a hustler, a hustler, hmm
Gotta get the dough to win
I'm a baller, baller, ooh, yeah, shot caller
I pack plenty of steel, plenty of steel
For **** that wanna be actin' ill
All the player haters stay off my nuts
While we handlin' business
[Verse 8]
Bouncin' in and outta town, I hope I don't step outta bounds
Chicks love to crowd around 'cause of my rep, how that sound?
Enemies are growin' in numbers, hopin' to catch me slumber
I wonder how many are hopin' to take me under?
NARCs and Feds throwin' darts at my head
Some new cats tryna make me part with my bread
Now I'm in a zone worse than Nino in Sugar Hill
Now I'm all alone, the piper wants me to foot the bill
Now I'm facin' the judge, my name on a folder
In jail for life, my hustlin' daze are over
[Verse 9]
If you ain't real about it, don't talk
I'm a hustler, a hustler, hmm
Gotta get the dough to win
And I'm a baller, yeah, baller, shot caller
I pack plenty of steel, plenty of steel
For **** that wanna be actin' ill
All the player haters stay off my nuts
While we handlin' business
[Verse 10]
If you ain't real about it, don't talk
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If you ain't real about it, don't talk
Uh, whoa
If you ain't real about it
Get the paper, get the dough
Don't talk, 'cause I'm hustlin'
[Verse 11]
If you ain't real about it, don't talk
Gotta get the paper, get the dough
'Cause I'm hustlin'
If you ain't real about it, don't talk
I'm a hustler
If you ain't real about it
And I'm a baller, yeah
If you ain't real about it, don't talk
I pack plenty of steel
[Verse 12]
If you ain't real about it
All the player haters stay off my nuts
While we handlin' business
Oh, yeah
If you ain't real about it
If you ain't real about it, don't talk
If you ain't real about it
[Verse 13]
If you're with me, throw your guns in the air
If you ain't real about it, don't talk
