Jay-Z - Real Niggaz lyrics

Album: Vol. 1-In My Lifetime (1997)

[Jay-Z]
Real n***az do real things
Hangin with the honies is the song I sing
Real n***az do real things
On the road to riches & diamond rings
Real n***az do real things
Bustin my toast off the roof drinkin 90 proof til spring
Real n***az do real things, check

We started out makin, small time bacon
Two little n***az bakin, talkin bout whippin cakes
Get clothin & big cheddar, hopin it gets better
We had no knowledge of this s**t we just was with whatever
In front of your buildin clockin, thought I was makin a killin
Right in front of your children, eightball in my side pocket
They was corrupt too, disrespectin the fiends I used to
look up to, take it or leave it, f**k you
In different parts of the planet, Oakland to New York
I am hollerin Lifetimes, he hollerin Life is Too $hort
Parallel lives & jew-els held high
To the Range, to the Rove, get exchanged, for your souls
You know how the game goes, slang to get G´s
and speak in Chinese everybody gains the same dough
Get your s**t scarred f**kin with my sick squad
from Marcy, to the Bay y´all, we get large, keep in charge

On the road to riches & diamond rings
Real n***az do real things
Hangin with the honies is the song I sing
Real n***az do real things
On the road to riches & diamond rings
Real n***az do real things
Bustin my toast off the roof drinkin 90 proof til spring
Real n***az do real things

[Too $hort]
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 & on the charts the double deckers
The fat donkey house down the block, belongs to me
You criticize the way I walk, you want to see my bankbook?
I am not a crook, I flipped the script & changed my ways
so I can get paid, everday
I see the same old s**t, I see in the streets
I know you think I am sellin keys but I only sell beats
Dopefiend music, it is drug related
You can buy it on the corner get a radio & play it
It always sounds better when you turn it up loud
Rap music let these motherf**kers know what we about
I know these gay ass record labels keep f**kin n***az
It is just like in the streets main, how much you get?

[Jay-Z]
On the road to riches, & diamond rings
Real n***az do real things
Hangin with the honies is the song I sing
Real n***az do real things
On the road to riches & diamond rings
Real n***az do real things
Bustin my toast off the roof drinkin 90 proof til spring
Real n***az do real things

[Too $hort]
That is right, I been a hustler for a long time
Always got the right beats, never saying wrong rhymes
I started off with nothing ended up with everything
Now we sip Hennessee in 1st class on every plane
Ask Jay-Z, he know what I am sayin
Always see me at the bank & yes I am goin again
There aint no dollar amount, that can make me happy
Fine women, a big house, a truck & a Caddy

[Jay-Z]
Now peep, how sweet, n***az lives can get
Put beef aside, the East & Westside connect
$hort Dawg, & Jigga with the, fo´-fo´ flow
I got love for y´all motherf**kers 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 want it, 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 & diamond rings
Real n***az do real things
Hangin with the honies is the song I sing
Real n***az do real things
On the road to riches & diamond rings
Real n***az do real things
Bustin my toast off the roof drinkin 90 proof til spring
Real n***az do real things
And I am out

[Too $hort] Beyotch! $hort Dawg´s in the house
[Jay-Z] Jigga
[Too $hort] Much love
[Jay-Z] $hort Dawg, get your money main
[Too $hort] All the way from the West coast
[Jay-Z] Uhh, how real is that
