Real Life
Cousin Stizz Lyrics

Take that dope outside man it's too loud for the house
We need to take this illegal drug use outside because it's too loud inside the house and we don't want to get caught.

Smoke on lawns, often mom's was cussin us out
We used to smoke on people's lawns and our mom would yell at us for it.

Come up to our window in the back of the house
We would pass drugs through the back window of the house.

When the screen go up, grams we passing 'em out
We would pass drugs through the screen on the window when it was raised.

But no business with you cause you look like you a mouse
We won't do business with you because you look too scared or weak.

Let them hoes fall through and we gon pass'em around
We'll let the women come in and share the drugs with us.

You a busta and the type we smack in the mouth
You're weak and the type of person we would physically assault.

They don't understand what we be rappin' about
Most people don't understand the reality of our lives and what we rap about.

Take a sip and then I roll one up
I'll take a drink and then prepare to smoke marijuana.

Tell you 'bout when I was growing up
I'll share stories about my childhood.

They used to call us about Amsterdam
They used to compare our neighborhood to the infamous Red Light District in Amsterdam.

Really drugs was never slowin' up
Drug use was a constant presence in our lives.

Rico's uncle was the fucking plug
Rico's uncle was our drug supplier.

Anything we wanted not enough
We could get any drug we wanted, but it was never enough.

Smoked an ounce of kush on Christmas once
We once smoked a large amount of marijuana (an ounce of kush) on Christmas.

2010, I couldn't make it up
This story is so unbelievable it seems like fiction.

Now I'm balling harder than [?]
I'm now more successful than someone else whose name is not mentioned.

I should be inducted to the league
I deserve to be recognized for my success.

You could do it too, I bet with ease
I believe that others can be successful too and it would be easy for them.

It ain't nothing brodie, just believe
It's not a big deal, just have faith in yourself.

Tried to tell me that I couldn't too
Someone told me I couldn't be successful, but I didn't listen to them.

I just kept it pushin', nigga please
I persevered and didn't let negative comments affect me.

Paved the way, I'm making crazy waves
I'm successful and influential in my field.

But I remember it was yesterday when we would
Despite my success, I still remember the struggles of the past.

Breaking down the grams cause we need more than enough
We used to measure and divide drugs to make sure we had enough to go around.

Cut from different cloth they don't make 'em like us
We're unique and special, different from most people.

Stand up young niggas devoted to the bucks
We're committed to making money and being successful.

Loyalty, respect, retaliations a must
We value loyalty and respect, and will retaliate against those who wrong us.

I might float around if I could find me the time
If I had more free time, I would be more relaxed and carefree.

Out of sight, out of mind, cause niggas dropping dimes
If people can't see us, they can't snitch on us to the police.

Meanwhile on the block niggas dropping like flies
People in our neighborhood are dying frequently due to violence or drugs.

Streets always at war man ain't nowhere you can hide
Our neighborhood is dangerous and there's no escaping the violence.

Always had this vision, ain't need no one to listen
I've always had my own goals and dreams and didn't need others to support or understand me.

We had no pot to piss in no wonder my cousin whippin
We were so poor we couldn't afford basic amenities, so it's no surprise that my cousin turned to drug dealing.

And if you from the other side my niggas get to lynchin'
If you're from a rival neighborhood, we'll become violent towards you.

We poppin, this ahit is hot, won't stop til someone quitin'
We're successful and popular and will continue until someone puts an end to it.

My girl call up my phone cause a real nigga what she missin
My girlfriend misses me and values that I'm a real, authentic person.

But the plug on the other line baby gimme a minute
I need to take a break from talking to my girlfriend because I have to talk to my drug supplier on the phone.

Rubber band on our wristes, I can pull out a ticket
We wear rubber bands on our wrists to hold our large amounts of cash and can easily access it.

Santa don't come around here no gifts on my Christmas wishlist
We're in a poor and dangerous neighborhood where Santa Claus doesn't visit and we don't have any real Christmas gifts to hope for.
