Real

I said I used to get high just to get by

Couldn’t deal with my reality, was livin’ in a lie

Sometimes I ask God “is we livin’ just to die?”

Conversations with my dad and he livin’ in the sky

Thinkin’ “am I goin’ crazy or is this shit for real?”

The spirit of a nigga who wills on its appeal

Fightin’ to see the light and I’m fightin’ to keep it real

Like a nigga with no lawyer I’m ready to take a deal

Got me feelin’ like Cali cuz all I do is win

I don’t practice no religion cuz all I do is sin

I don’t even write it down, I’m just spittin’ out what’s in

I don’t celebrate for victory and all I do is grin

Nah, shit I ain’t braggin’, I don’t boast

But when it come to bread fuckin’ slice I need a loaf

And a little bit of toast just to keep the haters on me

Man, I do this fo’ my city, all the niggas waitin’ on me

Look into my eyes, tell me what you see

A young’un full of pride with tendence of a G

I never gave a fuck what you heard about me

Never told, never sold soul, nigga this is me

Yea, I’m a family man

Don’t you ever cross that line where my family stand

I said I’m goin’ to come and get you in that family van

Coat shooters that let ‘em have it like Yosemite Sam

I’m from a hood where these niggas scared to dream at

Fuck the money, they want nowhere to leam at

They make a lean back, I’m talkin’ fade away

Mike Jordan, gettin’ it ain’t important

How can I forfeit? Niggas makin’ a fortune

Livin’ in fortresses, gettin’ in on some Carter shit

Go out and go home and it’s the orphanage

Same niggas that I grew up, I be often with

Smart circle cuz niggas will murk you

Most of the time it’s niggas that know you

But my niggas is purple, hearted

I’ve seen a snake before they even started

Call ‘em and now we daily the party

Look into my eyes, tell me what you see

A young’un full of pride with tendence of a G

I never gave a fuck what you heard about me

Never told, never sold soul, nigga this is me
