I used to rob, used to steal know some .... down to kill
Know some .... down for drill so you can die for real
All my big homies love me say I'm wise beyond my years
Man I came a long way I used to hide behind my fears
Learned from real killers .... some survived up in that field
But I know some real killers that had died up in that field
On me we was broke and hungry dying for a meal
So I'ma get down how I live and show these .... how I feel
We don't fight no more been through too much
You try us you get killed
They like Simmy you got skills
So I'm grinding to a mil
And no I won't sign a deal
Unless I'm signing for some M's
And I don't turn up when I go out
Cause my eyes they always peeled
Me and Simmy, back again
Chi-town I represent
Bitches give me compliments
Haters just can't take a hint
Black and mild I keep em lit
Cottonmouth, but still I spit
Oh Sean don't need a clique
Look at me never needed shit
All I wanted was real, instead I got them fakes
Oh remember that time, a year ago this day
We were on that grind, you helped me with my tape
Now it's present time, can't look me in my face
We don't fight no more been through too much
You try us you get killed
They like Simmy you got skills
So I'm grinding to a mil
And no I won't sign a deal
Unless I'm signing for some M's
And I don't turn up when I go out
Cause my eyes they always peeled
Oh y'all a second verse
Even though I'm lost to words
I remember that first time
That first time we all worked
You would think I was cursed
People leave and it gets worse
Why you act like it doesn't hurt
But life's a class all you do is learn
All I wanted was real, instead I got them fakes
Y'all remember that time, a year ago this day
We were on that grind, you helped me with my tape
Now it's present time, can't look me in my face
Cause that's how it feels
Cause this life is too real
Cause that's how it feels
Cause this life is too real
