I been yellin "Reel Life" for about 10 years
Now my eyes will shed not no more tears
I'mma cold-hearted n***a in a cold-ass world
Boy, yo ass'll get wet like a jheri curl
I went from rock cocaine to movin' them bigs
Got a reputation, known for splittin them wigs
Ain't no palm trees, no movie stars
Just big time ballas and fancy cars
Got a lifetime dream to have major C.R.E.A.M
The way I'm having things it could almost seem
Like ain't no n***a frontin' me no KIs
Fuck a fast food job, working Mickey Ds
I'm just a young black n***a trying to stay alive
I went for self like Michael from the Jackson 5
I got no time for the police all in my face
I know many n***as out there got a murder case
N***a please... my whole city's under siege
But the question is do they believe that I'm coppin' my KIs

Ain't no n***a frontin' me no KIs
Ain't no n***a frontin' me KIs
I said ain't no n***a frontin' me no KIs
Ain't no n***a frontin' me KIs

I been all around town tryin' to put shit down
I once was lost but now I'm found
Sellin' rocks on the corner til the break of dawn
This shit is for the n***as who be gettin' em on
Big time, I know sometimes ya loose ya mind
When the streets be dry ya money's hard to find
Can't nobody tell me 'bout life and pain
Cause I been through it all with the rock cocaine
See, my momma was a junkie ever since I was born
I was dead at birth so I was born to mourn
I'm from Detroit city where the streets be rough
And I think this rhyme is over 'cause I feel I've said enough
