Real Talk
Outlawz Lyrics

Now you dun heard a lot of talk about me and my niggaz
People have been talking about me and my crew a lot

Them outlaw world-wide my figures.
The world recognizes us as outlaws

From triumph to tragedy, To right back on top the niggaz still mad at me.
Even though we've faced our fair share of ups and downs, there are still people who are angry at us for being on top

For pushin that big truck on 24's a square feat in ATL game lock draw
Driving a big truck on 24-inch rims is considered a difficult challenge in Atlanta's street scene

Man dats what my nigga got shot for,
My friend got shot for being too bold and daring

Bein to motha fuckin raw for these fuck boys.
He was considered too honest and straightforward for his opponents

See the darkness see the light he wanna feel it Misery loves company And that's the real shit
He wants to experience both the good and bad because he believes people love to share their pain

But in 2005 I'm on some kill shit Four niggaz sneak upon my and peel this.
In 2005, he was ready to retaliate and four of his enemies ended up getting shot

I'm takin a stand with a mac in hand all killa, like them niggaz in pakistan
He is taking a stand and he is prepared to kill like the militants in Pakistan

It's simple, gotta git em fore' I die like the old west see how we low tex da ride.
It's a simple fact: he needs to take out his threats before he dies, just like how people would settle disputes in the Wild West

I know mama, you did your best at raisin' me.
He acknowledges that his mother did her best to raise him

Now your baby dun became a G.
But he has grown up to become a gangster

When I'm out in them streets The only one that got me is me.
He knows that when he is out in the streets, the only person he can rely on is himself

I keep my hand upon my heat.
So he keeps his gun close to him

Cause you know mama, You didn't raise no bitch
He reminds himself that he wasn't raised to be weak

So if a nigga wanna get at me I be out in them streets, my thang cocked Cause really all I got in the game everyday is me Real talk.
If someone wants to confront him, he will be ready and armed because in the gangster world, the only thing he can truly rely on is himself

Everyday is a new challenge I'm a savage in my new balance
Everyday he faces new challenges and he has to be ruthless to overcome them

A lot of rappers but not enough raw talent Blame the machine but fuck it I'm a hustla bitch
There are a lot of rappers out there but not enough truly talented ones. He doesn't want to blame the industry, instead he is a hustler who works hard to succeed

So we start our own label sellin' bricks legit Power to the people A lot of power in my pencil
He and his crew started their own record label and sell drugs in a legitimate way, supporting the people. He acknowledges the power of his words

We da hope for the hopeless The voice for the voiceless Outlaw soldiers, we still in the game Years later last members fuckin feelin the same.
He believes that he and his crew represent hope for the hopeless and speak for those who can't speak for themselves. Even years later, they still feel the same

Straight from the heart Makin em walk Live for the day don't wait for tomorrow Hatas gettin they wrong
He speaks from the heart and makes people listen. He believes in seizing the day and not waiting. Haters are getting what they deserve

I seen tha streets rap Rounda tough with some niggaz I seen prison put religion in the roughs of some niggaz.
He has seen the harsh reality of the streets, how it can toughen people up. He has also seen how prison can turn some people to religion

They say gansgtaz don't live that long Too many turn-coals That's fucked up puttin cuffs on your folks Coincidental the outlawz instrumental And raisin a thug nation we influential
People say gangsters don't live long and too many betrayals happen. He thinks it's messed up to put your own people in cuffs. It's coincidental that Outlawz is instrumental in raising a nation of thugs who are influential

Yea, My mother ain't made no sucka Raised in the gutta I'm a made mutha fucka.
He proudly proclaims that his mother didn't raise a weakling, he was raised in the ghetto and has become a made man

All I know is get paid motha fucka All day motha fucka One way or anotha
All he knows is how to make money, any way he can

And ain't no body no where that can stop me Call me cocky you tennis I'm hockey
No one can stop him and even if people think he's cocky, he's still stronger and tougher than them

Mix a little bit of Pac and Yaki with black rocky in my Paps you got me.
He compares himself to Tupac and talks about how he's tough like Black Rocky from the movie Rocky

Real tall I never took a shall unless it was support I'm stressin ain't my thought
He never backs down from anything unless he is being supported. He isn't bothered by stress

And I walk these dogs I'm a soldier Dontcha wanna be like me when you grow up?
He is like a soldier and he asks if other people want to be like him when they grow up

A man of honor commer Good commer Niggaz wants drama I got the problem solva Big ass Cig, that's ass shit Plus the bully that a fully automatic.
He is a man of honor and has good intentions. He solves problems for those who want drama. He smokes a big cigarette and carries a fully automatic weapon
