[Intro]
Real one
How many times I gotta prove myself?
Every promise that I told, I kept
I'm one of the last ones left

[Verse 1]
I wrote this shit behind a wall
Everybody with it until they charged for the call
Everybody with it until they dawg take a loss
'Til that lawyer money low and your mama put up a house
Yeah, these diamonds came from struggle, that's just how it came
When I'm in jail the only time I hear them scream my name
If you down for me, then I should never have to pick your brain
'Cause when I'm free I don't be feelin' we locked in the same
If you don't do enough then they gon' complain
I gave you the world, you want a diamond ring
Real n***a ridin' for you but you chose a lame
You must ain't never had a—

[Chorus]
Real one
How many times I gotta prove myself?
Every promise that I told, I kept
I'm one of the last ones left
Real one
I opened some doors for some n***as that changed (Yeah, yeah)
I gave it to God, I could've splattered they brains
I'm one of the last ones left
[Verse 2]
Maybe if I wasn't so hard, you'd still have room in your heart
Maybe if I didn't have these sins, we'll still be somethin' like friends
Maybe if I cried it over and I wasn't such a soldier
Maybe if I, if I, if I was a bitch-ass n***a
Then maybe you would think that I was realer
Maybe if I didn't have a big heart
Maybe you would love me a little (Da-da, doo)
If I was a bitch-ass n***a, maybe you would love me a little
'Cause lately, you been fuckin' with the ho side
So now I see that you can't tell the difference (No-no, no)

[Chorus]
Real one (Ooh)
How many times I gotta prove myself? (Ooh)
Every promise that I told, I kept (Ooh)
I'm one of the last ones left
I'ma die a real one (Mm)
I opened some doors for some n***as that changed (Mm-mm-mm)
I gave it to God, I could've splattered they brains (Mm-mm-mm)
I'm one of the last ones left

[Outro]
One of the last ones, I'ma die a real one
I'm one of the last ones, I'ma die a real one
I'm one of the last ones, I'ma die a real one
I'm one of the last ones, I'ma die a real one
