Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 (What's my name?)  R-U-L-E
(layin'  back the Mary Jane, I'm analyzin' the game)
And  the game done chose me
(Somethin'  that I can't say is one and the same)
 Ever since you told me
 (only room for two, I've been makin' less room for you)
 Only God can hold me
 (judge me, the only Man that help me is 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 comfort
 My only problem is
 Their insecurity
(Tired  of bein' alone) Yeah,  yeah
 (Arguin on the phone) Yeah, yeah
 (Tellin' all your friends) Yeah, yeah
 (That your men 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?s part-time
 My baby lookin' at me, smilin' at me, laughin' like we wasn't happy
 But not knowin', ever growin' and we're gettin' married
 Hard lovin' and straight thuggin'
 Bitch, I ain't doin' this for nuttin'
 hoppin', poppin, let's ride up in the Benz
 Hair blowin' in the wind, sun glistenin' off my skin, hey
 and I'm nasty, and you know me
 But you still don't mess with your baby
 Now people lovin' me and hatin' me and 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, I can breathe again
 people screamin' what the deal with you and so and so
 I tell them bitches my niggaz but they don't hear me though
 I live my life to the limit and I love it
 Now I could breathe again, baby, I could breathe again
 CHORUS till end
 end on C
