Coulda Been

When I say real life I hope that you get
Everything that put me through made me this
Coulda been jail or been laid in a ditch
Coulda been schooling and living legit
When I say real life I hope that you get
Everything that put me through made me this
Coulda been jail or been laid in a ditch
Coulda been schooling and living legit

Check out I get it, the real that I spit
I'mma stay down, watch how big that I get
When we hear bands we just pack up the trip
500 grand, thought I'd never see this
Used to sell pot in the pot I would piss
Used to be broke, like "one day we'll be rich!"
Used to see hope in the darkest abyss
Still shooting dice in the park with the fifth
I bought some guns so my niggas equipped
I gotta have it, get us outta this
I know it's coming, it's my only wish
Struggled so many days, thought I would quit
Lost my little homie, man cancer a bitch
Got your name on me, I'll never forget
Leano, I'm leaning, he poured me the zip
We were 16 with a dream of the lick

When I say real life I hope that you get
Everything that put me through made me this
Coulda been jail or been laid in a ditch
Coulda been schooling and living legit
When I say real life I hope that you get
Everything that put me through made me this
Coulda been jail or been laid in a ditch

Bitches on bitches on bitches on bitch
Have some respect when you ash in this whip
Mercedes-Benz cost my nigga a grip
He was around when nobody else is
Damn all that loyalty got benefits
Monda watch over me when I take risks
D1, he miss you man
Sticky, he miss you man
Jeezy, he miss you
Someone get a tissue
Light up a blunt and take off like a missile
I gotta stunt, I make money, all fiscal
At any time man the reaper can get you
Starving, get money so what you gon' fix you?
Gotta understand, nigga I'm 'bout this
Selling ounces, sleeping on couches
Hustle see to it, know that I do it
Every bar to me is realer than music

When I say real life I hope that you get
Everything that put me through made me this
Coulda been jail or been laid in a ditch
Coulda been schooling and living legit
When I say real life I hope that you get
Everything that put me through made me this
Coulda been jail or been laid in a ditch
