Slow motion baby
Tell you what I see through these eyes
All we do is speak the truth
Yeah, shit is realer than real
Uh, shit is realer than real
My true niggas walk with me
Ride with me, uh
What ya couldn't possibly know, ya heard?
Yo, uh, Lord I keep hollerin, I hope you're listenin
How come I'm still stressin even though the squad's glistenin?
Why you had to take Pun? Son was so young
Had so much more to live for, as real as they come
Dead man can't talk, that's why you hearin one side of the story
But did they tell you how he provided for forty?
Family members, grandmars to shorties
Even my seeds ate off the big homey
How could you deceive your kids like that
Make 'em believe they dad wasn't worth jack?
Listen to the facts as the Don pours his heart on this track
How could I just stand there and not react?
And I'm just about sick of all you sideline niggas
You know, do anything for the limelight niggas
I'm defendin your honor, my brother from another momma
I never thought I'd see the day they'd try to send you byna
Shit is realer than you think, man you must not know
It takes a lot to walk a day in the life of Fat Joe
The place I'm from, MTV don't wanna film
Just a simple dice game'll get a motherfucker killed
The ghetto ain't a place that you wanna take lightly
Same cat that'll spill you,'ll end up with your wifey
I seen it all, that's why I picked up the pen
To keep your boy from servin life in the pen, ya heard?
Fuck the flu season, nowadays it's sue season
Can't even go to the clubs and show my people love
'Cause soon as shit pop off and niggas knuckle up
Niggas accusin me of fuckin 'em up!
I'm like, hold up, ain't they supposed to be thugs?
Part time live niggas dabble in drugs
Uh, see a rapper, think of a lucrative deal
But youse a bitch if you choosin to squeal
It's more than obvious, you don't know a thing about honor
But what goes around comes around, you'll soon learn about karma
As for me I stay bein the realest
Admired by politicians, street thugs and killers
I keep feedin the street, but the street feed back
Is that police tryin to see Joe back in green slacks
But never that, see I keep long money
And if you lookin for that you never see a cent from me, muh'fucker
Shit is realer than you think, man you must not know
It takes a lot to walk a day in the life of Fat Joe
The place I'm from, MTV don't wanna film
Just a simple dice game'll get a motherfucker killed
The ghetto ain't a place that you wanna take lightly
Same cat that'll spill you,'ll end up with your wifey
I seen it all, that's why I picked up the pen
To keep your boy from servin life in the pen, ya heard?
Yo, uh, I stay grindin, everybody counted me out
Now I'm unwindin in my summer beach house
If I'm not in the studio, I'm out on tour
Bustin my ass to make my fans' future secure
Nowadays everybody wants somethin for nothin
All of a sudden niggas talkin like Joey be frontin
The hood's screamin, "Crack done changed, he don't holler"
I know now B.I.G., more money, more problems
Jealousy's a motherfucker
Who'da thought the same niggas you been feedin
Be the motherfuckers comin for ya?
I'm not stressin, I was born a warrior
Plus I'm, too big, too wise, too strong for ya
When it's all said and done I follow my dreams
Could've ended up dead or in jail given the scheme of things
To let you know I'm the reason you're still walkin
If I said somethin it was me, not the liquor talkin, ma
Shit is realer than you think, man you must not know
It takes a lot to walk a day in the life of Fat Joe
The place I'm from, MTV don't wanna film
Just a simple dice game'll get a motherfucker killed
The ghetto ain't a place that you wanna take lightly
Same cat that'll spill you,'ll end up with your wifey
