JAY-Z, Too $hort - Real Niggaz lyrics

Real niggas do real things
Hanging with the honeys is the song I sing
Real niggas do real things
On the road to riches and diamond rings
Real niggas do real things
Bustin' my toast off the roof
Drinkin' 90 proof 'til spring
Real niggas do real things, check

We started out makin', small time bacon
Two little niggas bakin'
Talkin' 'bout whippin' cakes
Get clothin' and big cheddar
Hopin it gets better
We had no knowledge of this shit
We just was with whatever
In front of your building clockin'
Thought I was makin' a killin'
Right in front of your children
Eight ball in my side pocket
They was corrupt too


Disrespectin' the fiends I used to
Look up to, take it or leave it, fuck you
In different parts of the planet
Oakland to New York i'm hollerin' Lifetimes
He hollerin' Life's Too $hort
Parallel lives and jew-els held high
The Range or the rove, get exchanged
For your soul you know how the game goes
Slang to get cheese and speak in Chinese
Everybody gains the same dough
Get your shit scarred fuckin'
With my sick squad
From Marcy, to the Bay y'all, we get large
Bee-eeyee-otch

On the road to riches and diamond rings
Real niggas do real things
Hangin' with the honies is the song I sing
Real niggas do real things
On the road to riches and diamond rings
Real niggas do real things
Bustin' my toast off the roof
Drinkin' 90 proof 'til spring
Real niggas do real things

So now you own a record label, I got one too
We on a roll now, can't nobody stop our crew
You can treat us like convicts
You know we got records
On the shelf and on the
Charts the double decker
The fat donkey house down the block
Belongs to me you criticize the way I walk
You wanna see my bankbook? I'm not a crook
I flipped the script and changed my ways
So I can get paid, everyday
I see the same old shit, I see in the streets
I know you think I'm sellin' keys
But I only sell beats
Dopefiend music, it's drug related
You can buy it on the corner
Get a radio and play it
It always sounds better when you
Turn it up loud
Rap music let these motherfuckers
Know what we about
I know these gay ass record
Labels keep fuckin' niggas
It's just like in the streets mane
How much you get?

On the road to riches and diamond rings
Real niggas do real things
Hangin' with the honies is the song I sing
Real niggas do real things
On the road to riches and diamond rings
Real niggas do real things
Bustin' my toast off the roof
Drinkin' 90 proof 'til spring
Real niggas do real things

That's right
I been a hustler for a long time
Always got the right beats
Never sayin' wrong rhymes
I started off with nothin'
Ended up with everything
Now we sip Hennessy in first
Class on every plane
Ask Jay-Z, he know what I'm sayin'
Always see me at the bank
And yes I'm goin' again
There ain't no dollar amount
That can make me happy
Fine women, a big house, a truck and a Caddy
(that's right)

Now peep, how sweet, niggas lives can get
Put beef aside, the East and Westside connect
$hort Dawg, and Jigga with the, fo'-fo' flow
I got love for y'all motherfuckers
Y'all just don't know
I know y'all got a thing
For them rag six-fo's
I like the five speed drops
Pop the clutch then go
If you're ballin', keep ballin'
If you jealous, stop
I want Biggie to rest in peace
As well as 'Pac how real is that?

On the road to riches and diamond rings
Real niggas do real things
Hangin' with the honies is the song I sing
Real niggas do real things
On the road to riches and diamond rings
Real niggas do real things
Bustin' my toast off the roof
Drinkin' 90 proof 'til spring
Real niggas do real things, check

Beyotch! $hort Dawg's in the house jigga
Much love $hort Dawg, get your money mane
All the way from the West coast
Uhh, how real is that
