Gucci Mane premieres the music video for the song, “Now It’s Real” produced by TP808. The piece of music is coming off the album ‘Breath of Fresh Air’ geared for release this October.
Gucci Mane seems to have lived nine lives and is now reflecting on them all. The “So Icy” rapper’s career has had many ups and downs. All of which Big Guwop referred to in his music. As his life moves forward, it makes sense that he can reflect on the past as well. With “Now It’s Real,” Gucci not only enjoys the spoils of his success but also offers advice to the younger generation of rappers.
In the accompanying video released on YouTube, Guwop’s opulent lifestyle is on full display — complete with luxury cars, expensive jewelry, and designer clothes. His children also appear in the video, adding a heartwarming touch. As he recounts his time in prison, Gucci Mane contrasts it with his success today. A federal prison sentence was handed down to the rapper in 2014 for firearms charges. He was later released in September 2016.
Gucci Mane’s new track will presumably appear on his upcoming album, Breath Of Fresh Air. The project is scheduled to be released later this fall in October. While there has been no tracklist released as of yet, the rapper did share the album’s artwork via Instagram. The cover sees a polished Gucci, with his lady Keyshia Ka’oir Davis and their two children Ice and Baby Iceland. Almost reminiscent of a family photo, the cover hints that Gucci has fully embraced his next stage in life as a husband and father.

Lyrics
[Intro]
Uh-huh
[Chorus]
I could’ve been in prison with a hundred years
Yet I woke up in a mansion with two hundred mill’ (Huh)
Had to let go of the lean and get off the pills (The lean)
Cut a couple niggas off ’cause they didn’t keep it real (Fuck ’em)
My life is beautiful like Snoop Dogg and Pharrell (Pharrell)
Used to dream of livin’ like that, but now it’s real (It’s real)
Remember I was sellin’ Ps like that rip, for real (For real)
Now I play this shit right, I retire with a bill’ (A bill)
[Verse 1]
My car, it cost two million, my watch cost a ticket (What the fuck?)
Worth a quarter billion now, and now I’m talkin’ liquid (You lyin’)
I’m hurtin’ these haters feelings, mama said I’m gifted (My mama)
They say my label cursed, I guess the curse lifted (It’s lifted)
My coupe an immigrant, it ain’t even shipped (It’s shipped)
I wired half a milli’ when it first was built (This shit built)
I never been a snitch, that’s not how I was built (Nah)
On a mission in a hotbox with the column peeled (Peeled)
Cut from a different cloth, this a whole ‘nother quilt
I got so many whips, could start a dealership (A dealership)
They all delusional, I never needed them (Fuck ’em)
I’m like the Godfather, help the needy ones (The needy ones)
These niggas got no motion ’cause they greedy bums (They bums)
A Sun Valley alum’, product of the slums (The 6)
They treat me like the Don ’cause I’m one of the ones (The one)
You niggas don’t shoot guns, y’all just bumpin’ your gums
[Chorus]
I could’ve been in prison with a hundred years
Yet I woke up in a mansion with two hundred mill’ (Huh)
Had to let go of the lean and get off the pills (The lean)
Cut a couple niggas off ’cause they didn’t keep it real (Fuck ’em)
My life is beautiful like Snoop Dogg and Pharrell (Pharrell)
Used to dream of livin’ like that, but now it’s real (It’s real)
Remember I was sellin’ Ps like that rip, for real (For real)
Now I play this shit right, I retire with a bill’ (Go)
[Verse 2]
Everyone obsessed with drillin’, I don’t wanna drill (Yeah)
Young nigga, take it from me, that ain’t how to live (Live)
Used to have to make a sale just to pay the bills (Damn)
I don’t like to even reminisce, it give me chills (Brr)
My car look like a fish out of land without the gills (Woah)
My roof so tall, my lil’ boy damn near can’t fit in the wheels (Ice)
Used to have to bring the cash, now I cut the check (Check)
Used to wake up in a cell, now I’m on a jet (Jet)
Used to have to pay the plate with nowhere to stay (Nowhere to stay)
Nigga keep lookin’ for Ray, he done took the yay (Pioom)
I done stacked so many Ms, I had to move away (I’m gone)
R.I.P. my daddy, he wouldn’t put the booze away (R.I.P. my daddy)
I know we all gon’ make mistakes, this shit make or break (Or break)
I spent a million dollars on it, but still lost the case (What the fuck?)
I got a loyal fanbase, they won’t go away (My fans)
These folks still listen to me, each and every single day (It’s Gucci)
[Chorus]
I could’ve been in prison with a hundred years
Yet I woke up in a mansion with two hundred mill’ (Huh)
Had to let go of the lean and get off the pills (The lean)
Cut a couple niggas off ’cause they didn’t keep it real (Fuck ’em)
My life is beautiful like Snoop Dogg and Pharrell (Pharrell)
Used to dream of livin’ like that, but now it’s real (It’s real)
Remember I was sellin’ Ps like that rip, for real (For real)
Now I play this shit right, I retire with a bill’
