SINIMA BEATS - Real Life lyrics

If this is real life, then put me back to sleep Because the sooner I fade, it's like the sooner I eat Wake up, munching on my knuckles, trying to get a meal I feel as though my soul just wants me to kneel At the foot of the bed, pray for some food on my breath Only met with a stomach rumble, again and again It's like it speaks to my heart, but never talks to my brain Makes me bust out a pen, not do away with the pain Instead of spending on food, my money goes to the bills And I keep writing and rhyming like there's a chance I might build A career out of rap, carve out a life of my own Fill my fridge every night, so full I never leave home f** it, just give me some noodles and then some water to boil I'll make the best of this sh**, gourmet food that won't spoil It's just a dream that I have, it goes away when I wake And I look down at my hands and see dents my teeth made (Hook) X2 This is real life, when you got bills to pay It's real life, when every day feels the same This is real life, when you hate what you do It's real life, when no one else has got a clue If this is real life, I must be out on the street Don't got a roof on my head, just a back seat where I sleep And I don't gotta pay rent, but then tell that to my neck It's so cramped and uncomfortable in the way that it's bent Like all the time that I've spent, just sitting writing my raps Makes me second guess the path I chose to draw on the map Feels like slap in the face when it's my friends who succeed Because I work just as hard and have no college degree There to show for my efforts, it's just a pile of books In which I scribble my life, as a mess of verses and hooks It's just the best I can do, look like a deadbeat to you But I'm a poet to some, 'cause what I spits is the truth Then again some isn't all, and that explains why I'm broke Trying to live off of minimum wage, my life is a joke And I'm the only one laughing, because I'm too small to notice I could fall off of this earth and be forgotten in moments (Hook) X2 If this is real life I need a job with some benefits Can't afford any health care to help care for my accidents Got a toothache that's constant, all hours driving me nuts But a dentist's expensive correcting nerves in my gums Break an arm and I'm f**ed, there's just no way I'm insured So I'll be paying 'til I die and even then I'll be short Instead of pa**ing down heirlooms, my kid's acquiring debt Because his dad is a loser who never saved him a cheque But to do that, I got to find a girl who would screw me And at this point I'm so broke not even a hooker would do me Let alone a girl with some pride, I tell a girl that I rap Then she tells me it's cute but I'm not what she wants in a man It's just the way that it goes, something I've grown to accept And really what have I done to even earn her respect This sh** just gives me a headache, oh wait, I know what that is It's the f**ing teeth in my mouth I can't afford to get fixed (Hook) X2
