Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Is it real life or fiction?
I thought I'd see it from a mile away
I made my decision
Dreaming while I'm wide awake
I lost my religion
Why you care if it's my mistake?
If you walked out this prison
They'd laugh at you from behind the gate, I'm gone
[Verse 2]
I've freed my mind, I'm gone
I can't hear you talking, yes I'm gone
I've cleared my mind, I'm gone
Got to keep on moving, I'm gone
[Verse 3]
Yeah, making moves homie, make a decision
Ain't got no time to play around homie, play your position
I can diagnose your problems, you need a physician
If they thinking I'ma stop then tell em keep on wishing, yeah
Can't stop the vision, won't stop the vision
Real life know I gotta carry out the mission
Politicking with my people, fuck a politician
And whoever trying to stop me, fuck a opposition
Played the hand I was dealt I had to use what I'm given
Know that sky is the limit, I ain't thinking 'bout ceilings
I done traveling 'round the world, it's a beautiful feeling
This that music for the soul, it provide the healing, yeah
Stayed on my grind, that was mandatory
Doubted me at first but now they can't ignore me
Can't stop a thing that was meant for me
Real life, I'ma tell my story, yeah
[Verse 4]
Is it real life or fiction?
I thought I'd see it from a mile away
I made my decision
Dreaming while I'm wide awake
I lost my religion
Why you care if it's my mistake?
If you walked out this prison
This that real life shit, man
They'd laugh at you from behind the gate, I'm gone
[Verse 5]
Yeah, this reality, nothing fiction
Wasn't leaving out the house until I did the dishes
When the toilet broke I had to be the one who fixed it
Eating weenies and spaghetti it was repetition, feel me
Now I'm dealing some issues that you can't believe
You won't ever see me fold and wear it on my sleeve
Waking up every morning had to pop Aleve
Plenty nights in the hospital I couldn't leave
I ain't trippin, then them doctors had me fucked up
Basically they said that Ya lucks up
My momma sick without a warning felt it in my gut
Had to keep my spirits high and stay prayed up
Truth be told, it turned out for better
The man above said I wasn't ready to forget her
That blessing from the sky is like a blessing I'll remember
I put these words down in my strawberry letter
[Verse 6]
Is it real life or fiction?
I thought I'd see it from a mile away
I made my decision
Dreaming while I'm wide awake
I lost my religion
Why you care if it's my mistake?
If you walked out this prison
They'd laugh at you from behind the gate, I'm gone
