The Real

Let me spit out my soul through the pro-tools
I lose all control in the vocal booth
Digging my own grave that's the cold truth
Picking a day to lay in it when i'm to though
No charades just honesty in my prayers
Am i talking to myself or is there really a god near us
Got excuse me i'm just curious
Cause the poverty in my hood is serious
Throw salt in my wounds and let it burn
Where are black girls at what if the table turn
My daughter ain't make it to see a year
And everyday i still shed a tear
Went through withdraws addicted to alcohol
My family had to eat so fuck it i broke the law
One man four limbs to much pride to call on
I'm on my third strike and no paper to count on
Get it right i'm no homie to clown on
I won't hesitate to hit head
Took a jump so i could see it clear
Ran the gauntlet to face my fears
Damn shit is real just go head

Had to walk through blind so i can see how
Had to run through it numb so i can feel how
Shit is real now
Shit is real now
Shit is real now
That's how it is now

Had to walk through blind so i can see how
Had to run through it numb so i can feel how
Shit is real now
Shit is real now
Shit is real now

They say you learn from mistakes then i'm a scholar
They say i got what it takes but never halla at me
It's like i'm all on my own just like a boxer
Just to earn your respect i got rock ya
Cut from the team fell off the roster
Just for me to realize that i'm a monster
Just for m to realize that i'm a monster
My success making you sick go call the doctor
My attitude turning you off go get a on switch
I ain't here to sit on trial for your judgment
About to say fuck it go back to school
Because this game is like swimming with sharks in the kiddie pool
Can lend me your ear i need a life line
Started out as my peer but now i love her

Maybe that line there will catch her attention
I know she hears me but is she listening

Had to walk through blind so i can see how
Had to run through it numb so i can feel how
Shit is real now
Shit is real now
Shit is real now
That's how it is now

Had to walk through blind so i can see how
Had to run through it numb so i can feel how
Shit is real now
Shit is real now
Shit is real now
That's how it is now

I'm shutting down
I'm shutting down
I'm shutting off
I'm shutting off
I'm shutting down
I'm shutting down
I'm shutting off
I'm shutting off
Let me spit out my soul through the pro-tools
I lose all control in the vocal booth
I lose all control in the vocal booth
I lose all control in the vocal booth

Let me spit out my soul through the pro-tools
I lose all control in the vocal booth
I lose all control in the vocal booth
I lose all control in the vocal booth

Had to walk through blind so i can see how
Had to run through it numb so i can feel how
Shit is real now
Shit is real now
Shit is real now
That's how it is now

Had to walk through blind so i can see how
Had to run through it numb so i can feel how
Shit is real now
Shit is real now
Shit is real now
That's how it is now
