Real

Fresh out of GhostMode
I had to sit back and think
Kept a low pro
Without the chit chat to Shrinks
Finding the missing links in these chain of events
I've agreed to not look for love
For no way it exists
Along with loyalty
It's quite a bit of uncertainty
Can you OD off of niacin?
I'm on a mission to clean up
I can't take this shit!
And the niacin is incase I gotta drop too quick
People lying
Then swearing up and down they're your friends
Such deceit with me
Would make most lose sleep
Niggas wanna live a life they have yet to understand
Niggas busting nuts before witnessing actions from a man
Those who care the most claim to not give a damn
And some are too proud to accept a helping hand
I'm just out here hustling
Trying to feed my fam
Muthafucka is you mad?!?

I don't apologize for me
For that's all a nigga can be
I wasn't born in these streets
But I'll die before I let a nigga take from me
All a nigga do is work hard
Patching up scars from these broads
Putting value to these clothes and these cars
Proving that REAL isn't just a mirage

Cup full of Faygo
I'm a product of Tha D
"Proving" my intellect by reciting my poetry
Letting my words just... flow
At least I ain't trying to astray
Even though it seems utterly impossible
When you got cops on the streets
Pulling people over for stupid and petty things
I let my flag drip
But shit, that means
You get some unwanted attention
Listeners don't listen from the tongues that matter
Some beg to differ
Funny how complete strangers rebuttal your scripture
Pour your heart out to your lover
And they ghost quicker than an alcoholic hearing about free liquor
I'm proud to be a "Niggah"
Struggling from the bottom
I rather be a humble soul
Than heartless and got it
Rumors are no longer acknowledged
Red flag, flame on
Witness the Phoenix rising

I don't apologize for me
For that's all a nigga can be
I wasn't born in these streets
But I'll die before I let a nigga take from me
All a nigga do is work hard
Patching up scars from these broads
Putting value to these clothes and these cars
Proving that REAL isn't just a mirage

I dream of my past lives' failures
Never understanding why my past lives failed at
Their goal
I can't see how to excel at this life
I spend more time avoiding jail and
Building some support system for mental comfort
Peace of mind is a key I have to learn to make
Trying not to be human
So I won't make mistakes
But everyday is a risk
Lusting life's sweet taste

I don't apologize for me
For that's all a nigga can be
I wasn't born in these streets
But I'll die before I let a nigga take from me
All a nigga do is work hard
Patching up scars from these broads
Putting value to these clothes and these cars
Proving that REAL isn't just a mirage

I don't apologize for me
For that's all a nigga can be
I wasn't born in these streets
But I'll die before I let a nigga take from me
All a nigga do is work hard
Patching up scars from these broads
Putting value to these clothes and these cars
Proving that REAL isn't just a mirage
