Niggaz don't you know? Never promised tomorrow man 
Check it, check it *the next life* 
Life life (yeah) right now for what it is before you lose that shit 
For real man, shit can happen 
in the blink of a fuckin eye you can lose your life man 
Recognize that for real 
You're never promise tomorrow, you know 
Any nigga that you know, knahmsayin? 
You never know about these things, word up 
His body was cold yet his face remained calmly 
He spoke differently, as if he was Godly 
Layin on the ground the gat still in his clutches 
Shoulda saw it comin but he smoked too many Dutches 
Situation, made me sober as fuck 
As he coughed up blood, tellin me he's stuck 
Gunmen, drove off in a Yukon truck 
Said a prayer for him, hopin that his soul was blessed 
Cause my hands couldn't cover all the holes in his chest 
His eyes told the story that his heart was diminished 
The ambulence took about a hour, ten minutes 
They didn't have to tell me that my Son life was finished 
I guess his heart never knew the love that was in it 
Yeah, word up, goin back 
If your heart stop beating I'll go back in time 
Make your heart beat again, real niggaz to the end 
It's all about cash, and the diamond rings 
Dedicated, cause real niggaz do real things 
(repeat 2X) 
Word up, real things, real niggaz do real things 
Yo, movin on 
Through his eyes I seen the next life flash in front of his 
Cocked back the gat wonderin who the gunner is 
The blood drenched in his Armani linen 
I guess that's the karma of a thug when he sinnin 
From the beginnin, I reminisce the younger years 
When we were younger peers on the block pourin out beers 
And now the tears, I can't stop from comin 
I wanna bring it to this nigga blaze him while he runnin 
It seemed stunnin, the way we started in the game 
I never wanted, my Son dyin in this pain 
Now the nigga that shot him I wanna find him and kill him 
Heard he's a Willie and keep a bunch of killers with him 
The Jake snatched him up so I just had to forget him 
But on the low, if I ever see him, I'ma hit him 
Yo when he bust a slug in the heart of a true thug 
It's real love, this is what a real nigga does 
If your heart stop beating I'll go back in time 
Make your heart beat again, real niggaz to the end 
It's all about cash, and the diamond rings 
Dedicated, cause real niggaz do real things 
(repeat 2X) 
What yo, real niggaz do real things 
Word up, real niggaz do.. real niggaz, yeah 
Yo, 41st side, Queensbridge yo, yo 
The words cut like a knife, ma your son was shot 
Her mouth, wide open, seemed like her heart dropped 
She fell to the floor with her eyes in shock 
I was standin there stuck off the words I said 
Worst thing to tell a mother that her son was dead 
Shoulda knew what love is, 'fore he learned what a thug is 
Now he left his kids to be raised by they mothers 
From the cradle to the grave we was like brothers 
Went to same schools and fucked the same bitches 
Pumped on the same block with the same snitches 
Burnin lye on the roof, talkin bout riches 
And I remember, when we was both five percenters 
Goin hand to hand, gettin bent, crashin renters 
And now the end is, justifyin all the means 
That's just the story when you're dyin out in Queens 
and it's real, word up, yo, yo, yo, yeah, yo 
If your heart stop beating I'll go back in time 
Make your heart beat again, real niggaz to the end 
It's all about cash, and the diamond rings 
Dedicated, cause real niggaz do real things 
(repeat 2X) 
Yeah, Capone-N-Noreaga still my niggaz 
Even if you don't get no bigger 
Finsta, Crash, presedential 
Confidential, fuck it, yo, yo, what? 
Japan rules, foreign exchange, how we do, yo 
Begins, world currency 
The way the dollar bends, and it haunts me 
It wants me it traps me, in the hole 
Reachin for my soul, fuck it, yo 
If your heart stop beating I'll go back in time 
Make your heart beat again, real niggaz to the end 
It's all about cash, and the diamond rings 
Dedicated, cause real niggaz do real things 
(repeat 2X)
