Verse One:

This story takes place back in the South Bronx

Where at the age of fourteen I was ready to knockin' off punks (yeah!)

And suckers were scared to death

Every time I walked by I hit them niggaz take their last breath

(ahhh..)

See, I just didn't give a fuck

And if you had a seed skin, I let the bomba you was getting stuck

(word!)

That was the way it was

One day I went to visit my aunt, and stuck up my cous

See, something was fucked up back then

No matter what the fuck I did, I never had no ends

And my moms was on walfare

Aiyyo I knew I had a father, but the nigga was never there

So what the fuck was I had to do

When sick and tired to bein' the bummiest nigga out the crew

I gotta get mine, I gotta get cash!

I see an old man, I'm gonna rob him with the quick-fast

Gimme your motherfucking loot, popi

I'm goin' to get paid and can't a damn thing stop me

See, I'm tired of this porshit

And who the cops? Well they can suck my motherfuckin' dick!

Cause all them niggaz ever do is harass

That's why I came glad when I heard somebody swooped that ass

(*gunshot*)

Just to let ya know how I feel, word'em up

The fuckin' shit is real

Chorus: (*background cuts "Down on the real"*)

Aiyyo its real

Aiyyo the shit is real

The fuckin shit is real

Aiyyo its real

Verse Two:

Now I'm sixteen and there's a brand new scene
