[Jeezy, John Legend - The Real MVP lyrics]
Yeah, what's up?
All my real niggas with me, sing 20
20 hindsight, you gotta just do today
you know? Caught up in the grind
Do you hear me? That's great
Oh, sometimes I don't know
Where I'm turning to
Sometimes I don't know, you know?
I look in the mirror look in that mirror
And I see the truth
All my real niggas with me, sing
But the truth is, I don't know what to do now
All my real niggas with me, sing
I'm so lost without you
Truth is, yeah, I wish I was better
(Swear to God)
I was chasing the cheddar (yeah)
I ain't take the time to write you a letter
I was too busy chasing the funds
I ain't take the time out to take
A day and just be your son
Middle school, yeah, I got me a pack
Yeah, I got me a sack
Daddy gone, so I pick up the slack
Lord knows that you need a new couch
And if I had it my way right now
I'd buy you a house
If you gon' stay here, be watching your mouth
Then what I do?
Turn around and hid them eight
Balls all in your house (Damn)
Safe to say I was breaking the rules
I was posted on Poplar Street
Pocket full of rocks and a tool
No secret, I was failing the school
Had you crying so much late night that
You could fill up a pool
What's Heaven when you're living in Hell?
DA hoping I fail
So they can lock me up and give me a cell
(Hey)
Sometimes I don't know where I'm turning to
All my real niggas with me, sing
I look in the mirror
All my real niggas with me, sing
I see the truth
All my real niggas with me, sing
But the truth is, I don't know what to do now
All my real niggas with me, sing
I'm so lost without you
With my hopes and my dreams on the scale
All I know is all these hard
Times keep making you frail (Ayy)
And maybe I'm just chasing a dream
Or maybe caught in the hype
We got faith, then we gon' be alright
That mean we gon' make it tonight
We gon' live tomorrow
Grind it up, no beggin' or borrowin' (Nah)
And lately you been all on my mind
Spending all of my time
Tryin' not to go out of my mind (yeah)
And lately I been having my strap
'Cause I don't know which one of
These so-called niggas got my back
Just know that you raised you a king
I might live all my dreams (Believe that)
Despite the fact that it's hard as it seems
Yeah i know you see me rockin' the crowds
Hope I'm makin' you proud
God plans, he heard you pray for your child
(yeah) and even though I'm feeding my team
And I'm doin' my thing
Gotta say, all hail to the queen, hey
I don't know where I'm turning to
All my real niggas with me, sing
I look in the mirror
All my real niggas with me, sing
I see the truth
All my real niggas with me, sing
But the truth is, I don't know what to do now
All my real niggas with me, sing
I'm so lost without you
And last, my mom
I don't think you know what you did
You had my brother when you were 18 years old
Three years later, I came out
The odds were stacked against us
One of the best memories I had
Was when we moved into our
Our first apartment no bed, no furniture
And we just all sat in the living
Room and just hugged each other
'Cause we, that's what we
We thought we made it
When something good happens to you, I
Don't know about you guys
But I tend to look back
To what brought me here you made us believe
You kept us off the street
Put clothes on our backs, food on the table
You went to sleep hungry
You sacrificed for us you the real MVP
I look in the mirror, I see the truth
But the truth is, I don't know what to do now
I'm so lost without you
All my real niggas with me, sing 20
20 hindsight, you gotta just do today
you know? Caught up in the grind
Do you hear me? That's great
Oh, sometimes I don't know
Where I'm turning to
Sometimes I don't know, you know?
I look in the mirror look in that mirror
