[Intro: samples from Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody"]
Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?
Real life, real life; fantasy, fantasy

[Ja Rule]
I'm a rock star; Rick James, Mick Jagger
Bright lights, big stages, bad hbbits
Get high, go to prison, and evade taxes
This is not what I envisioned when I started rappin
Fuck the mansions, the Phantoms, the suites, the cabanas
Cause none of that matters, when the mirror shatters (no)
All I see is pieces of me, scattered
Is it a miracle, or is it madness?
Cause when I puts it all together it reflects this
And this is me
About as close you gonna get to insanity - or genius
My real life, fantasy

[Chorus: Anita Louise]
Is this my life, or am I dreaming?
I can't lie; I don't believe it
I, I don't believe it
I - is this my life?

[repeat Intro]

[Ja Rule]
Yeahhhh~!
The talk of the fantasies, the more twisted the memories
Never thought Gotti would leave the game like D-R-E
Never thought 'Shanti would ever stop reppin the team
And how the the fuck is Lloyd hookin up with the enemies?
If this was oh-three
I'da told you you was crazy if you told me this is what it'd be
I miss Vita, Caddi, Black Child, Charlie
I thought we were tighter then the Marleys - a family!
But I guess you can't be (nah)
in an industry that breeds nuttin but envy
Jealousy, please nobody befriend me!
In my, real life, fantasy

[Chorus]

[Ja Rule]
I'm fantasizin 'bout dreamin of a nightmare
How weird is this, it seems like somebody just lost they grip on
{"Real life"} fantasy {*repeat 4X*}
I'm on more than they're on, cocaine or methadon
I'm on this money these bitches the upper echelon
{"Real life"} I'm on one
Reality's somewhat of a thin line - here's to Christian

[repeat Intro]

[Ja Rule talks over Intro]
Yeah
You live in a fantasy

[Chorus] - repeat 2X

[Ja Rule talks over Chorus]
I can't lie~! I won't believe it
Is this my life?
Everything you dream, is not a fantasy
And all dreams are not nightmares
Hence, my real life
{*whispering*} fantasy
