Reality Is

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, I mean sometimes you just gotta get truthful, honest Niggas hate to hear the truth, but here it is [Pre-Chorus] Life is never really what it seems (Yeah) We expect more than we achieve (Yeah) Plottin' on another way to scheme You trappin' when you could've made the league My nigga, everybody got a dream But reality is [Chorus] Most of us ain't gon' make it rappin' (Nah) Most of us ain't gon' make it trappin' (Nah) Most of us ain't gon' make it playin' ball (Fuck we gon' do?) Somebody ain't gon' see tomorrow But none of us is gon' be here as long as reality is [Verse 1] My momma told me I can do anything I imagine (Ayy) My daddy told me I should do everything with a passion My granny told me stay out them streets and don't get distracted (Nah) A nigga couldn't wait to be grown and then it happened, shit Could you imagine (What?) If everything you saw for your future might never happen (Fuck) Livin' in the past, tryna justify all your actions (Damn) Feelin' like you livin' for nothing and hustlin' backwards Ready to flip a mattress (Ayy) It's funny how these battle scars tell all Yeah, they gon' tell the truth whether you well off or you fell off (Real shit) I seen so many puppies get a pound and turn big dog Was quarterbackin' packs so they got sacked for a big loss Wasn't on your A game, out here doin' anything (Damn) Tryna find a bunch of different places you can place blame I know a bunch of people who fell victim to the same thing 'Cause talent take your places that character can't sustain And that's why [Pre-Chorus] Life is never really what it seems (Yeah) We expect more than we achieve (Yeah) Plottin' on another way to scheme You trappin' when you could've made the league My nigga, everybody got a dream But reality is [Chorus] Most of us ain't gon' make it rappin' (Nah) Most of us ain't gon' make it trappin' (Nah) Most of us ain't gon' make it playin' ball (Fuck we gon' do?) Somebody ain't gon' see tomorrow But none of us is gon' be here as long as reality is [Verse 2] I been eatin' on the ocean with women I always wanted (Yeah) Reflectin' on the times we was trappin' off unemployment (Ayy) Drivin' in my momma's Corolla to get a quota Thinkin' I can't wait to live how I live at the moment A nigga never lost focus (Never), I stayed on course So many wanted to be the Jumpman 'til they jumped off the porch Bringin' cleats to the court, you playin' the wrong sport That's why you never got your shot and forever comin' up short You so in love with your mentality, you miss reality Niggas too worried 'bout status instead of salary You think you gon' get the panties if you make her Patek freeze I could take a bitch to Applebee's, she won't be mad at me (Nah) Perception is only your reflection of who you'd rather be (Ayy) It's clear niggas live in fear of they own mortality (Ayy) School of Hard Knocks, I never been in no academy 'Cause I come from The Bay, where niggas learn to live with tragedy [Pre-Chorus] Life is never really what it seems (Yeah) We expect more than we achieve (Yeah) Plottin' on another way to scheme You trappin' when you could've made the league My nigga, everybody got a dream But reality is [Chorus] Most of us ain't gon' make it rappin' (Nah) Most of us ain't gon' make it trappin' (Nah) Most of us ain't gon' make it playin' ball (Fuck we gon' do?) Somebody ain't gon' see tomorrow But none of us is gon' be here as long as reality is
