Real

Real Lyrics

Back unto basics wipe the dust up off my drum pads
Pop a couple tablets of some acid then I kick back
Relax stab a simple pattern of some boom bap
Lay some synthesizer chords then automate the low pass
My notepad is packed stacked with verses front to back
And it's so thick that it could probably catch a bullet still intact
And that is fact I am something of a myth
Local legend of the sticks leaving all these haters pissed
Fall back if you's a bitch silly rappers act entitled
Like we owe them our support because two singles are on Tidal
Suicidal mumble rap whatever style viral
They want all the admiration in the length of a free trial
Such denial of the many miles needed to succeed
The only guarantee in life is fate and that we'll meet
So take it on the chin or turn the other cheek
Someday I'll reach the top of every list of worlds best emcees

I keep it real
I keep it real
I keep it real
All day everyday
All day everyday

I keep it real
I keep it real
I keep it real
All day everyday
All day everyday

I zone out in the booth down at my Dad's house
Same old dirty basement where I came up I throw down
Same old corner closet in my bedroom I bar out
Rip the microphone apart from my dome no phone out
My mouth will tell you all there is you need to know
About the differences that separate an amateur and pro
Number one is the soul two is the drive
Three is the heart and number four is the pride
Fake rappers sell you lies and take advantage of their fans
While record labels have them sign the dotted line and box them in
If they can tune into a trend and maybe guarantee a hit
Then they will shove it down the throats of every adolescent kid
Farm the numbers make them big until you think that they're the shit
And then they slide the artist one percent off every single cent
And they flex like they're rich but most are all in debt
Except for me because I'm rich in timeless music and respect
Bitch

I keep it real
I keep it real
I keep it real
All day everyday
All day everyday

I keep it real
I keep it real
I keep it real
All day everyday
All day everyday
