Reality
What is reality?
[Intro: Dat N***a Daz]
Muthafuckaz out here don't know shit!
They ain't tryin' to know shit
Just a young muthafucka out here tryin' to represent
To get my muthafuckin' paper
You don't think so?
Then get the fuck out my way
'Cause I'm ridin' on trucks, banks, all that type of shit
Gotta get paid, muthafucka!
[Verse 1: Dat N***a Daz]
Fuck dreamin' the same dreams!
Bein' down for the same team
What just seems to be reality is just a dream
Eye to eye, the colors that I wear is do or die
When I walk down the street, will I meet evil in disguise?
So, I tote a .44 wit' hollow tips
While my mind tellin' me 'Should I not?', or 'Should I pull it?'
What I represent, God only knows what lies for myself
Jealousy and hatred, n***as is out for my wealth
Will I perish? Livin' selfish for the rest of my life
'Cause those who live wrong is bound to live a short life
Will money be the root of my destruction?
Without the money, I can't even seem to function
[Hook]
Now, there's nowhere for me to turn
There's nowhere for me to hide from reality
[Verse 2: Kurupt]
As complexed as the situation gets
I remain, I maintain, ain't that much strain
To make me twist myself like Kurt Cobain (HA!)
Aw shit! I don't believe this
Some n***as that I fucked wit' tryin' to pull a twist
But ain't that much twistin' in existence
And this is how you show me love
It shows me exactly what money's capable of (That's right)
Now, is it the expenses
That make you wanna catch me slippin' and pay a visit?
'Cause this is for all my homies (All my homies)
For jakkaz only, from ?twip?, to the fools in L.A. that know me
I'm back wit' a fifth of Henn'
Kurupt and Dat N***a Daz on the mash again
[Hook x2]
Now, there's nowhere for me to turn
There's nowhere for me to hide from reality
[Verse 3: Dat N***a Daz]
I give it to you like it is! Got no time for no games
In a world of madness, will my composure be the same?
Will my friends be around when they rest me in the ground?
A lost soul lost forever, never ever to be found
Life ain't what it seems, for the n***as full of schemes
On the hunt for the cash, they wanna blast ya for green (BLAOW! BLAOW! BLAOW!)
Hmm! These sick bitches wanna get a n***a caught up
For what? A simple nut, a simple fuck
[Verse 4: Kurupt]
Daily, it enhances the penitentiary chances to survive in 1995
So I got 1995 ways to survive nowadays
Time and time again, I bust a rhyme again
'Cause I'ma get in deeper shit if I convert to crime again
Out to mentally convert me, the same n***as out to hurt me
It irks me, strenuous controversy
What's next on the list to complete
After all this shit that popped off on the streets?
And all eyes on me, but I won't change sides
'Cause what I represent, I represent 'til I die ('Til I die)
It's time for me to grab a tall glass of... (Hennessy, Hennessy)
[Verse 5: Tray Deee]
Ya see, my ways is to phase all them n***as that try me
Leave em layin' stiff if they ain't on IV's (Beep, beep)
I beez the hardest regardless, fool!
Livin' life, day and night, stayin' hard and cruel
Keep my cool, until my mood abruptly switch
Then I'm on a n***a's ass like bumpy zits (That's right)
It's no remorse when you cross my course
I'm not a hunter, but take a n***a out for sports
Don't resorts to thinkin' you could get wit' this
Or you will be a eulogy if you insist to diss Mis-Ta-Tray Deee
From L-O-N-G B-E-A-C-H, where the hardest gangstas be
Twenty-first was the worstest turf on the earth
Yet, I feel I was meant to represent from birth 'til I die
You wonder why it ain't no secret
Muthafuckaz best be in love wit' this G shit
[Hook]
Now, there's nowhere for me to turn
There's nowhere for me to hide from reality
