[Intro: Trick Daddy & Kevin Cossom]
What we have here (what we have here)
Oh, oh, oh
Is a man of no fear (no fear, ha ha)
No pressure, never
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I've been everywhere but the electric chair
I’ve seen everything but the wind
I've been there (ha ha)
Oh, oh, oh
And I'ma be here
You don’t wanna see me like this
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah
[Verse 1: Trick Daddy]
When I first dropped Based on a True Story
Lot of out-of-town niggas wasn't checking for me
'Round the time I dropped www-dot
They was like "Hold up, that nigga hot!"
Wanted a Benz, but 50 grand short (short)
Since then, ain't a Benz I ain't bought
And ain't nann nigga like me
Listen to him, check him out, a replica's what he tryin' to be
They can’t clone the thug shit that I be on
I wrote the Book of Thugs just because
And I can’t forget about the haters
If it wasn't for y’all, I probably would have never made it
I'm the realest!
[Chorus: Kevin Cossom Trick Daddy]
I'm the realest
You know
You ain't heard about me
Don’t come around me actin' like you don't know
I'm the realest
You better do your homework Do your homework
You know I got goons that move whenever I say "go"
You need to think about No way
'Fore we end up reading about it Oh yeah
Don't you know that I'm the realest
If you start it, I'ma finish
If you want it, you can get it
I'ma tell you what the deal is
Nigga, I'm the realest!
[Verse 2: Trick Daddy]
If it wasn't for Thugs are Us
Top 40 pop radio wouldn't have never heard of us
They said I was too urban before
Dropped "Baby, I'm a Thug" and woke they ass up!
The white boys wanted to listen to us
And it wasn't long before they had the sponsors on my ringtones
Hold on! Y'all straight, but I ain't
Set a date, it's time to renegotiate
Then came Thug Holiday
Went and got LaTocha Scott and we topped the charts
On my first David Banner beat
All three from the street, came together and made history
I'm the realest!
[Chorus: Kevin Cossom Trick Daddy]
I'm the realest
You ain't heard about me
Don't come around me actin' like you don't know
I'm the realest
You better do your homework Do your homework
You know I got goons that move whenever I say "go"
You need to think about Uh-uh
'Fore we end up reading about it No way
Don't you know that I'm the realest
If you start it, I'ma finish
If you want it, you can get it
I'ma tell you what the deal is
Nigga, I'm the realest!
[Verse 3: Trick Daddy]
A lot of dudes done lost their mind
Sayin' I'm thinking bout retiring?
Bitch, stop lying!
Besides, nigga, I'm just in my prime
And get better and better and better every rhyme
And I'll go to to toe
With any Tom, Dick or Joe
Y'all better let 'em know!
I'm in a league of my own
Y'all better leave me alone
Boys, I'm in that zone!
And I ain't talkin' about you
I'd rather go for all your ghostwriters and walk off with both titles
And I don't sneak-diss
I just want a clear understanding so you know where I stand
I'm the realest!
[Chorus: Kevin Cossom Trick Daddy]
I'm the realest
You ain't heard about me
Don't come around me actin' like you don't know
I'm the realest
You better do your homework Do your homework
You know I got goons that move whenever I say "go"
You need to think about Go and think about it
'Fore we end up reading about it You gon' be reading about this!
Don't you know that I'm the realest
If you start it, I'ma finish
If you want it, you can get it
I'ma tell you what the deal is
Nigga, I'm the realest!
I'm the realest
[Outro: Trick Daddy]
What we have here
Is a man with no fear (no fear, ha ha)
No pressure, never
I've been everywhere but the electric chair
I've seen everything but the wind
I've been there
And I'ma be here
[Chorus: Kevin Cossom Trick Daddy]
I'm the realest
You ain't heard about me
Don't come around me actin' like you don't know
I'm the realest
You better do your homework
You know I got goons that move whenever I say "go"
You need to think about
'Fore we end up reading about it
Don't you know that I'm the realest
If you start it, I'ma finish
If you want it, you can get it
I'ma tell you what the deal is
Nigga, I'm the realest!
