[Intro] Realest shit I wrote (Doin' life)Realest shit I wrote (We doin' life, nigga)Realest shit I wroteThis be the realest shit I wroteRealest shit I wroteRealest shit I wroteBe the realest shit I wrote (Doin' life), yeah [Verse 1] For all my niggas doin' life with they day oneWho held it down when the credit wasn't A1? You thankin' God, you was lookin' for a great oneHe took a rib out your chest and He madе one To be a man and hold it down, take a bravе one When the hoes come around and you crave somethin' My flow switch, slow the pace, this the Ma$e one I'm not a player but I'm crushin' like the late PunLet's take one, go [Verse 2] The definition of rider The one by my side when I had not a dollar to my name Before a crowd would holler for Jermaine, you saw potential Waitin' on you to hit my line was suspenseful Back when we was kids, this was simpleBoy likes girl, girl got a man Boy stays in lane, maybe provides a friendKnowin' by the end buddy gon' fumble Was far from the toughest around, buddy gon' rumble When necessary, when niggas started talkin' reckless Did he not step to them niggas with chest poked out?Over you, that 'Ville come out, no doubt We fell in love, but my dreams you ain't know 'bout You knew I rap, but, you ain't know 'bout both of my goalsWanna take over the globe through a mic' And one day me and you be doin' life [Chorus] All types of games are being played, how's it goin' down? (Yeah)It's on 'til it's gone and I gots to know now (Yeah)Is you with me or what? A nigga really think he in love (Uh-huh) I put this ring on you forever, what's up? All types of games are being played, how's it goin' down? (Yeah) It's on 'til it's gone and I gots to know now (Yeah) Is you with me or what? A nigga really think he in love (Uh-huh) I put this ring on you forever, what's up? (We doin' life) [Verse 3] Uh, the puppy love had grown and now it's full blown Since childhood, I vowed to have a good homeWhite picket fence with wife cookin'Yellow rice for a couple kids that's nice lookin'And I promise to treat her right Unlike what I had seen in my life as examples, marriages in shambles And I can tell I found a real oneSmart, loyal, and real pretty, we can build somethin'But first, I got work to do So, when I'm spendin' my nights locked in on that mic', please, don't take it personal My skills is growin', the flows more versatileMy name's ringin' and on the evenin', I heard the news I'm gettin' a deal, the first one I called was youEven though we been off-and-on a few years And through tears on rainy nights that you would wipeI always knew that we'd be doin' life [Chorus] All types of games are being played, how's it goin' down? (Yeah)It's on 'til it's gone and I gots to know now (Yeah)Is you with me or what? A nigga really think he in love (Uh-huh) I put this ring on you forever, what's up? All types of games are being played, how's it goin' down? (Yeah) It's on 'til it's gone and I gots to know now (Yeah) Is you with me or what? A nigga really think he in love (Uh-huh) I put this ring on you forever, what's up? (We doin' life) [Verse 4] The temptation of other lovers is a hard oneTo overcome when you're young and your star's done align Now women that wouldn't give you time is callin' you fineLust creeps all through your mind, I'm tryin' my hardest To remember why I'm an artistIs it for bitches and the riches? You all suspicious, and you should beI'm doin' dirt, but it's not as much as I could beThat make me feel better I'm driftin' away slowly, that make you feel bitterThe Devil on my shoulder tellin' me, "Quit her"Angel on the opposite side sayin, "Stick with her"God tellin' me pick whichever is in my heartLooked inside myself to a place beyond thought And found out who I want to beSlowly, but surely he cut off his hoesIf you gon' do it, do it rightPut ring on your finger, now, me and you is doin' life [Chorus] All types of games are being played, how's it goin' down? (Yeah)It's on 'til it's gone and I gots to know now (Yeah)Is you with me or what? A nigga really think he in love (Uh-huh) I put this ring on you forever, what's up? All types of games are being played, how's it goin' down? (Yeah) It's on 'til it's gone and I gots to know now (Yeah) Is you with me or what? A nigga really think he in love (Uh-huh) I put this ring on you forever, what's up? (We doin' life) [Outro] I done wrote a lot of songs, but this— this gotta be my realest oneShoutout to anybody that really know what it's like to do life with somebodyThrough the ups, the downs, the goods, the bads, through thick and thinIn a time where they make it so easy to just give upKnow what I mean?
