Real Playa Like (feat. Lloyd) Lyrics


Tryna show you somethin, shawty
Hey, baby girl, they say the world is a beautiful place, thats right
Im tryna help you open your eyes and see that
Different shit, cool shit, real playa likeHey, shawty, we could do it real playa like
We could go a few places that you say you like
See what it is like, when you be my a-alike?
Girl just lay back, Ill do it that way you likeSaid its the flyest thing just the way we swing
Me and you, how we do? We so flyYou need to leave them burgers alone and make a steak upgrade
Im Fillet Mignon with a tape-up fade
I see things clear through these Marc Jacobs shades
Like the clarity in these jewels that Jacob madeYou sleep better knowin you gon' wake up paid
Hair styled, nails filed, make-up made
We can shock South Beach, shake up Dade
In a droptop Phantom with the Drakov bladesIma stop by the barber
You can hit the shops in the harbor
Then get the chops or the lobster
Prime on 12, dinner for dos
We begin with a toast, end with a doseOf the light green cheeba rolled in a Cohiba

Its Sunday, so you know how the Forge is
Weather gorgeous, not a cloud in the sky
We could show the world how to be fly, yesHey, shawty, we could do it real playa like
We could go a few places that you say you like
See what it is like, when you be my a-alike?
Girl just lay back, Ill do it that way you likeSaid its the flyest thing just the way we swing
Me and you, how we do? We so flyIf you wanna act Hollywood fine
But shawty, let's do it when we sittin on the hills
Like the Hollywood sign
And every man lies, but not every man flies
Privately to Van NuysRange on the runway, driver to pop doors
Straight to Barneys, somethin we need to stop for
She like, "Its early, what we gonna shop for?"
How bout green grass breakfast, top floor?Later on Fred C or Max Fields
Real playa like dress, good black heels
No 'Hanas, we can do Katana's
You, me and ooh-wee, marijuanaThen slide through Hyde, might include Mood
Maybe go to Area if its in the area
The Fridays young try things my way, hon
Malibu ride, Highway 1Nothin is too much, everythin you touch
Turns to gold, you make me better
I'm fly as I can be, but you with me
I cant help but notice, Im more focus
Cause youre the coldest, girl youre soHey shorty, bring the Mayback, we got a long way to go
Just lay back, you had a long day, I know
And they whack, do it the wrong way, I know
I play back but have the song playlin lowWhile we 6 deuce and let you fix Goose
In a glass with sum ice, maybe mix juice in
On the way to L.A, well, I couldve took the heli
But we door more behind wheelHampton home, 2 floors for 9 mill
Real playa like, 2 doors from Seinfeld
White marble, new floors that shine still
And the help keep food store, wine chilledHey, we gotta live one day right
Well, how bout from Friday to Sunday night
Then back fore they notice, back up in Lotus
Let the world know we back and we focusedHey, shawty, we could do it real playa like, yeah
He could go a few places that you say you like, yeah
See what it is like, when you be my a-alike?
Girl just lay back, Ill do it that way you likeSaid its the flyest thing just the way we swing
Me and you, how we do? We so fly

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
John David Jackson (born November 18, 1977 in Brooklyn, New York), better known by his stage name Fabolous, is a Grammy award nominated American rapper, actor and designer signed to Def Jam Records. He released his debut album, Ghetto Fabolous in 2001 and has since released 2003's Street Dreams, 2004's Real Talk and 2007's From Nothin' To Somethin', all of which have collectively sold over four million copies in the United States. His fourth studio album, Loso's Way, was released in July of 2009 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

It takes talent to make the struggle to succeed seem effortless, but that is the gift that separates artists like Brooklyn's John Jackson, aka Fabolous, from the everyday MC. While most rappers spend more and more time convincing the masses of their "hustle," Fabolous lets his work speak for his effort. With two platinum albums (2001's Ghetto Fabolous and 2003's Street Dreams) and one Gold (2004's Real Talk) to his credit, the veteran hitmaker still exudes a rookie-of-the year swagger. After recording for both Elektra and Atlantic Records, Fab is enjoying a home coming with the legendary Def Jam label. His first recorded song was "If They Want It" from DJ Clue's The Professional, which was released by Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam in 1998.

"I had people in my corner already over there," Fab says of DJ Clue and A&R Skane, the Desert Storm duo who discovered Fabolous. "So it wasn't like I was coming to a new neighborhood."

While he doesn't site any one reason for his move, Fabolous has learned a lot from his time in the industry and is eager to capitalize on his experience. "I haven't peaked yet," he explains. "I was happy with the past records, but I have some adversity to learn off of for the future."

It's appropriate that Fabolous is getting a fresh start for his latest release because he wants From Nothin' to Somethin' to be a rebirth for his fans old and new. "Everybody is trying to take what they have and make something more," says Fabolous, explaining the album's title. "It's a new year, everybody's on their hustle, back in the gym and I'm trying to give them some inspiration. This is music to chase your money too, work out--motivation music.

The first single "Make Me Better" is produced by Grammy Award winning producer Timbaland and finds Fabolous doing what he does best; blending radio ready sound beds with clever and memorable lyrics. Rapping that he needs "a Corretta Scott to make me King" Fab picks up with his female fans where "Baby" left off. "It's a great feel good record, it's got a lot of style to it," he says. "I wanted a record that could show that I could touch different people with my music."

Already recognized for his hit-making ability, Fabolous is eager to show the diversity of his technique while staying true to his blueprint for success. On the cocky "Make Money" he cleverly borrows Notorious B.I.G's trademark chuckle to comment on the laugh-ability of his competition: "these dudes is stand up rappers, hip-hop comedians, I start laughin as soon as I put your CD in." His wit and wordplay is not something he gets enough credit for, but the MC is confident people will come around. "Certain people recognize it," he says, "but its like they'll sing it in the shower, but they won't sing it outside. It's all good though. One of them days you gonna get drunk and start singing that song."

Enlisting a whose-who list of guests that includes Akon, Young Jeezy, Ne-Yo and Junior Reed, Fabolous plays to a variety of audiences on this disc, but there is no mistaking that it's his show from beginning to end. The anthemic "Brooklyn" features a yet to be disclosed surprise guest and "Change Up" pairs Fab with singer, producer extraodinaire Akon helping him reflect on his life and career.

"Anytime you become a successful person, people may look at you and say you changed," explains Fabolous, who references the October 2006 shooting that took place outside of Justin's restaurant in the lyrics of the song. "That record just talks about people changing as a person for money, how they carry themselves and treat other people. For me, I might have changed where I live or my number, but I haven't changed as a person…I slid a line or two about what happened in October but I'm not coming out with a bullet proof vest or anything."

The playful "Foggin Up The Windows," produced by Miami's The Runners, features R. Kelly's chopped and screwed vocals from his hit "Ignition" to prop up Fabolous' ode to parkin' lot pimpin' of the more carnal kind.

"I just took it back to trying to get some in the car," he says with a laugh. "Everyone's either done it or tried to get some in the car. It may not have been the place of choice but everybody's had a hotel on wheels."

Other rewind worthy tracks like "Real Playa" featuring Lloyd, "Diamonds" featuring Young Jeezy and the Just Blaze produced "Back To School" round out an impressive collection that makes From Nothin' to Somethin' worth the two-year wait. In his absence no artist has come close to matching his boyish charm, wit and unassuming cool both on and off the mic. With a new team and a pop of his collar Fabolous is indeed "fresh to Def."

"I'm trying to bring good music back to the game," he says confidently. "And anybody that's bringing good music, the hype is gonna follow them."
