Terius Youngdell Nash (born June 14, 1978 in Rockingham, North Carolina), better known by his stage name The-Dream, is is a Grammy Award winning American R&B singer-songwriter, producer and Executive Vice President of Island Def Jam Records. In 2007 he released his debut album Love/Hate which spawned three top 20 singles. In 2009 he released his second album, Love vs. Money, which reached #2 on the Billboard 200 and features guest appearances from artists such as Kanye West. In June 2010, his third album, Love King, was released. It peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200.
At the age of two he moved with his mother to Atlanta, Georgia where she raised him until her sudden death at the age of thirty-five. Afterwards, he was taken in by his grandfather, who was an avid music fan. It was through this relationship that he was introduced to many legendary artists that made up his grandfather’s record collection. As soon as he heard the soulful sounds of Sam Cooke and Al Green, The-Dream was hooked. In the third grade he began his musical venture by enrolling in introductory trumpet classes at Grove Park Elementary School. He continued playing the trumpet through high school and later learned to play the drums and guitar.
In junior high and high school his musical influences extended toward such artists such as Timbaland, Missy Elliot, Aaliyah and Tupac Shakur. His talents continued to naturally develop and eventually lead The-Dream to begin producing, singing, rapping and song writing.

Terius Nash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As long as I keep popping bottles of that drink
And I could give a fuck what a nigga do
As long as I've got Rollies on my whole crew
You think I give a fuck? nigga look at my truck
Matter of fact, look at my girl
Look at my Benz motherfucker, look at my friends
All us niggas got ends
Look at my muthafuckin' drop, look at my yacht, boy stop
Look at all the shit you ain't got
This shit real nigga
The shit real in the field
Real nigga now, leave it in the will
Shit real nigga
The shit real in the field
Real nigga
What you can't have now
Leave it in the will
Pharrell in the white, Gucci in the yellow one
I'm up in the red one, I thought you said something
Diddy on the phone: "nigga get your swagger right!"
J told me to drop it on your head: swagger tight
nigga spending money like I just won a settlement
Ever seen a nigga buy a Porsche off the internet?
Ever seen a nigga buy a house from the toilet?
Add a boat to the cart, click "yes" - bought it!
So nigga stop acting like we don't know killas too
fucking with my money like I don't know gorilla's too
Chris told me get my money, get the fuck up out the trap
That was 99 and I ain't looked back
And Jayceon said hit him if I ever had a problem
Don't worry about it, come through he'll solve em
Just pay for the lawyers, nigga fuck them charges
I could give a fuck what a nigga thinks
As long as I keep popping bottles of that drink
And I could give a fuck what a nigga do
As long as I've got Rollies on my whole crew
You think I give a fuck? nigga look at my truck
Matter of fact, look at my girl
Look at my Benz motherfucker, look at my friends
All us niggas got ends
Look at my shit, nigga look at my watch
Look at my muthafuckin' drop, look at my yacht, boy stop
Look at all the shit you ain't got
This shit real nigga
The shit real in the field
For real nigga now, leave it in the will
Shit real nigga
The shit real in the field
For real nigga
What you can't have now
Leave it in the will
P my nigga, nobody in the game fuck with me, my nigga
Got the keys my nigga, do what I see my nigga
I open up the door and don't leave my nigga
That ain't me my nigga, up in the air like a G my nigga
But you only getting there with the weed my nigga
Disagree my nigga? Well, not with the green, my nigga
Know what I mean, my nigga
Fly around the world to be like me, my nigga
All the shit that I be doing you don't read, my nigga
She's my nigga, if that's the fucking case you won't believe, my nigga
G-O-O-G-L-E my nigga, you see my nigga
He put me in the race to take the lead, my nigga
Billionaire Boys ice cream, my niggas
See the hat with the big ass B, my nigga?
HERMES, my nigga, Comme des Garcons and LV's my nigga
I wear Timberland and CC's, my nigga
Karl made it for me, oui oui, my nigga
I know what you're thinking: what the hell, my nigga?

The lyrics of Terius Nash's "This Shit Real Ni**a" are all about flaunting wealth and success. Nash asserts that he doesn't care what other people think about him, as long as he's living a life of luxury. He brags about his expensive car, watch, clothes, and boat, and notes that he and his friends are all financially successful. Nash also name-drops several famous musicians, including Pharrell, Gucci Mane, Diddy, and Jayceon, and seems to be showing off his connections within the music industry. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "This shit real nigga," implying that Nash's lifestyle is the real deal and that he is truly living the high life.
Despite the song's superficial focus on materialism, some critics have suggested that there is a deeper meaning to the lyrics. Some have interpreted Nash's message as a commentary on the systemic inequality that keeps many people of color from achieving financial success. By celebrating his own wealth and success, Nash may be highlighting the fact that these things are often denied to people of color in American society. Others have suggested that "This Shit Real Ni**a" is simply a fun, unapologetic anthem for those who are enjoying their own success and wealth.
Overall, "This Shit Real Ni**a" is a catchy, upbeat song that seems to celebrate the trappings of material success. However, there may be a more nuanced message buried within the lyrics, inviting listeners to think more critically about the role of wealth and privilege in American society.
