I Realize (Boot Camp Clik)

Look up at the sky with me, puff and get high with me

Them same niggas gonna fuckin' ride and die with me
Toast to the sky with me, break down and cry with me
Them same niggas gonna cut and share the pie with me
I stay away from skeezers and dick teasers
That have you in some shit puttin' up your dick beaters
And if it's real drama, gotta get the big heaters
Some wanna talk it out but most wanna smoke it out
I'm 'bout the 'neto, pesos and Benjis
And ain't too friendly once I got the Hen' in me
Ville, Top Dog and F-O-U-L

The boys on the come up, it ain't hard to tell

Whether a block or shell, regardless I'ma sell
Runnin' from hams, clock call, lock me in a cell
And anything that happened to me, I had to ask for it
So tell me now, what the fuck I gotta cry for?

Yeah (I realize now)

Through the struggle of it all (It was me with you, love)
We rise and fall, walk and crawl
We peeps through the peace and war (It was me with you)
It gets greater later, yeah (I realize now)
Although I've been scarred and bruised (It was me with you)
Yo, my crew can't lose, we been paid dues
It's only a chosen few

She said, "I'll never forget the day we first met, it was holdout
Right after that Black Moon show that was sold out
I was at the back entrance, you also
If bad was good, shit, you were awful
'Cause I had to stop in my tracks and look
Like by the way you got a hat and look
Can I have you or what?"

Everything was fine and dandy
Even though we went together like crime and candy
Time in handy, I was around, you was around
The room was around, the crew was around, it just can't be

I'ma take advantage of it
'Cause if you leave I couldn't handle this shit
See I can stand and admit
You know where my spots is at
You know the work that gotta be put in and nobody can top that
Shit, I pray you never stop that
'Cause if you leave me it'll never be easy for me to get my spot back
She said

You realize now (I realize now)
It was you all along (It was me with you)
That was doing all the wrong, sing the same songs
That's when you realize you never miss a good thing until it's gone
It gets greater later, yeah (I realize now)
Although I've been scarred and bruised (It was me with you)
Yo, my crew can't lose, we been paid dues
It's only a chosen few

It was gully how I kill 'em, build my name up
Get silly, nine milli really tear your frame up
Whoa, curly hair, black lip, cartwheel backflip
In and out the system to the spots where them packs flip
That smuggler's talk, boy, I speak it fluent
If I wasn't good at what I do, boy, I couldn't do it
That dudes can't wear my shoes, squeeze my ooze
Smokey lies back, run and spread the news

That I been did it, been spit it, yo, bitch I been hit it
Smart that you just quit it, y'all wasn't gon' never get it
See, all I know is the streets, painted over beats
Put dick in freaks, walk all over the weak
You know dirt stack on work, work stack on dirt
I do my dirt, finish up my work and murk

Right back to the lab, get my Armstrong head on
This is what I gotta do and what I do is do it wrong
Yeah (I realize now)

Through the struggle of it all (It was me with you, love)
We rise and fall, walk and crawl
We peeps through the peace and war (It was me with you)
It gets greater later, yeah (I realize now)
Although I've been scarred and bruised (It was me with you)
Yo, my crew can't lose, we been paid dues
It's only a chosen few

Hear me, it gets greater later (I realize now)
You realize now
It was you all along (It was me with you)
That was doing all the wrong, sing the same songs
That's when you realize you never miss a good thing until it's gone
It gets greater later, yeah (I realize now)
Although I've been scarred and bruised (It was me with you)
Yo, my crew can't lose, we been paid dues
It's only a chosen few

Hear me, it gets greater later (I realize now)
You realize now
We see struggle through it all (It was me with you, love)
We rise and we fall, walk and crawl
We peeps through the peace and war (It was me with you)
It gets greater later, yeah (I realize now)

Although we've been scarred and bruised (It was me with you)
My crew can't lose, we been paid dues
It's only a chosen few

You hear me, it gets greater later (I realize now)
Let me tell you the word, nigga
