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 ****** take their last breath ahhh
See I just didn't give a ****
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 ****ed up back then
No matter what the **** I did I never had no ends

And my moms was on walfare
Aiyyo I knew I had a father but the ***** was never there

So what the **** was I had to do
When sick and tired to being the bummiest ***** 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 **********ing loot popi
I'm going to get paid and can't a damn thing stop me
See I'm tired of this *******
And who the cops well they can suck my **********ing ****
Cause all them ****** 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 ****ing **** is real
Aiyyo its real

Aiyyo the **** is real

Aiyyo its real

The ****ing **** is real

Now I'm sixteen and there's a brand new scene
I'm making mad dupe getting paid off the **** fiends word
Deep in **** the checking order
And my main man tone was ****ing everybody else's daughter

See everybody knew in town that Joe and tone had **** locked down

And a ***** wouldn't test me
It seems like every other day the ****ing cops arrest me yea
But the **** would never stick
I make one phone call and he'll be out by quick
Cause uncle tan had my back
And now ****** getting jealous cause they know I'm living fat
Talking **** around the way and over block
But never in my face cause they knew I'd clap the glock
And my crew is mad deep
I'm punching crazy puerto rican so why yo don't sleep word
And all you ***** ass ****** know the deal check it out
The ****ing **** is real
Aiyyo its real

Aiyyo its real

The ****ing **** is real

Aiyyo its real

Let me let ya know why I made this song why
Brothers can't deal with the real word is bond

I'm sick and tired of these fake ass ******
Saying that they're catching bodies when they never pulled a trigga
I know ya style I've seen it before
You wearing army suit now you think you're hardcore

Drinking on your 40s smoking on your blunts
Then afford a chainsaw yo there ho fronts yeah

You faking the funk kid
And you'd be kidnapped the ass if you ever did a ****ing bid
It's time to separate the real from the phony
The name is fat Joe punk act like you know me

Nowadays I can't believe the bull boo rappers come up with
And all y all ***** ass ****** know the deal check it out
