This is ghetto reality in Texas

Aye, aye, you see I am what I am and it is what it is
You`d feel how I feel, if you been where I been
Live what I live, see what I see
So get out my ear and just let me be

See I am what I am and it is what it is
You`d feel how I feel, if you been where I been
Live what I live, see what I see
So get out my ear and just let me be

I`m a survivor of the struggle, I lived life hard
Single mama with half a job, I was raised by God
No dad, the only role model I had
Was a ounce of that white powder in a Ziplock bag

I don`t brag about the struggles, I endured as a child
So you don`t know the pain I went through, to create this smile
I got one life to live, know I`m talkin` `bout?
So I enjoy it, cause I earned everything that I got

They hate what I got, I hear `em with they cape talk
They thinking that my life, was a cake walk
I`m a man of principles, I live by my word
So it`s obscured when I hear sour words

They gon` get what they deserve but I don`t wish no harm
What goes around comes around so partna` you been warned
In the midst of all the trouble, I still remain calm
`Cause sunny days, will follow the storm` man, just let me be

You see I am what I am and it is what it is
You`d feel how I feel, if you been where I been
Live what I live, see what I see
So get out my ear and just let me be

See I am what I am and it is what it is
You`d feel how I feel, if you been where I been
Live what I live, see what I see
So get out my ear and just let me be

Somebody questioned, if I got the right to recite what I spit
`Cause I`ve never been indicted or divided a brick
But my life is grit, all types of crisis and s**t
But I decided to risk it all to try to slide in the mix
And get what I can get

See, I`m fighting negative bars
I knew it wouldn`t be easy but no one said it be hard
As it is, I mean the evil in the heart of these men
Got me wondering, if I`ll ever see the reward at the end of the road

It`s kind of hard to remember your goals
When you grow where not many live to get old
I played the cards that I was given and never listen to those
Who think different `cause they inner soul is bitter and cold

I seen death and folk get destroyed by do`
Nevertheless I`m blessed so your boy got hope
I show love to get it is a beautiful feelin`
If you hate me then blow a dick `cause it`s a mutual feelin`

You see I am what I am and it is what it is
You`d feel how I feel, if you been where I been
Live what I live, see what I see
So get out my ear and just let me be

See I am what I am and it is what it is
You`d feel how I feel, if you been where I been
Live what I live, see what I see
So get out my ear and just let me be

All outsiders looking in, think they know where I been
Trying to be my friend `cause of the position I`m in
They know Slim Thug a hustler, that`s destined to win
So I guess they figured they can hold my cotail in

But I ain`t the type to play that roll and sell a ni**a gold
Pretend it`s all cool when I know you a hoe
`Cause you`ll do it again, if you done it befo`
It`s just a matter of time or you doin` some mo`

I done witnessed all type of snake ni**az and hoes
From my family to my friends, to these bitches I know
It`ll surprise you, how much a lil` change bring change
You get a couple dollas and people ain`t the same

They quick to holla at you capping now, since you rapping now
See them the type of folks, you need to be packing `round
`Cause first time to miss `em when you passing a blunt
They plotting up on you, trying to pull `em a stunt

You see I am what I am and it is what it is
You`d feel how I feel, if you been where I been
Live what I live, see what I see
So get out my ear and just let me be

See I am what I am and it is what it is
You`d feel how I feel, if you been where I been
Live what I live, see what I see
So get out my ear and just let me be
