    (What's my motherfuckin' name?)
    R-U-L-E
    (Blowin' back on this Mary Jane, I'm analyzin' the game)
    And the game done chose me
    (To bring pain to pussy niggas and pussy hoes, it's one in the same)
    Ever since you told me
    (There's only room for two, I've been makin' less room for you)
    Now only God can hold me
    (Hug me, love me, judge me, the only Man that hovers above me, holla)

    I met so many men and it's like they're all the same
    My appetite for lovin' is now my hunger pain
    And when I'm feelin' sexy, who's gonna come for me?
    My only problem is their insecurity

    (Are you tired of bein' alone?) Yeah, yeah
    (Sick of arguin' on the phone?) Yeah, yeah
    (While you're tellin' all your friends) Yeah, yeah
    (That your nigga don't understand) My love

    'Cause I'm real
    (The way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk)
    'Cause I'm real
    (The way you stare, the way you look, your style, your hair)
    'Cause I'm real
    (The way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me wild)
    'Cause I'm real
    And I can't go on without you

    Girl, I've been thinkin' 'bout this relationship
    And I wanna know, is this as good as it gets?
    'Cause we've been through the worst times and the best times
    But it was our time, even if it was part-time
    Now they been lookin' at me, smilin' at me, laughin' like we wasn't happy
    But not knowin' that we're growin' and we're gettin' married
    Hard lovin' and straight thuggin'
    Bitch, I ain't doin this shit for nothin'
    I'm here to get it poppin', hoppin', let's ride up in the Benz
    Hair blowin' in the wind, sun glistenin' off my skin, hey
    I'm nasty, ha, you know me
    But you still gon' fuck with your baby

    'Cause I'm real
    (The way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk)
    'Cause I'm real
    (The way you stare, the way you look, your style, your hair)
    'Cause I'm real
    (The way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me wild)
    'Cause I'm real
    And I can't go on without you

    Now people lovin' me and hatin' me, treatin' me ungratefully
    But not knowin' that they ain't makin' or breakin' me
    My life, I live it to the limit and I love it
    Now I can breathe again, baby, now I can breathe again
    Now people screamin', "What the deal with you and so and so?"
    I tell them niggas, mind their biz, but they don't hear me though
    'Cause I live my life to the limit and I love it
    Now I can breathe again, baby, now I can breathe again

    (Are you tired of bein' alone?) Yeah, yeah
    (Sick of arguin' on the phone?) Yeah, yeah
    (While you're tellin' all your friends) Yeah, yeah
    (That your nigga don't understand) My love

    'Cause I'm real
    (The way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk)
    'Cause I'm real
    (The way you stare, the way you look, your style, your hair)
    'Cause I'm real
    (The way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me wild)
    'Cause I'm real
    And I can't go on without you

    'Cause I'm real
    (The way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk)
    'Cause I'm real
    (The way you stare, the way you look, your style, your hair)
    'Cause I'm real
    (The way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me wild)
    'Cause I'm real
    And I can't go on without you Writer/s: Cory Rooney, Irving Domingo Lorenzo, Jeffrey B. Atkins, Marcus Vest, Rick James
