The Real Entertainer
It all started back in high school while I played pretend
From my favourite tv show to my favourite pen
Saving myself from mean boys, just trying to fit in
While I labeled their faces, turned them to my motivation
I brought home all the power from the world
Turned it into music then I sang it out loud
Thinking about the people one day I'll be singing this with
All the positive, negative, even the hurtful adjectives
My heart spitting the truth, my body's trying to understand it
I'm just like you, not knowing where this is going but I like the sound of it
I'm speaking it out, laying it down
Just breathing in, taking it in, counting on my intuition
I don't know, I don't know how I got here
Ma said "Work hard at what you love, dear"
Now I'm on my way to the top, taking the world of hip hop
By dropping the right words right where it's hot
Where are you now
Somewhere on your couch
Dancing by yourself
While everybody's out here with the real entertainer
Come on downtown
Watch me sing to my crowd
Dance like there's nobody else
Cause all I got is love to give man, I'm the real
Now I'm booming back and forth, lighting these shows on fire
After all from day 1 this has been my desire
Small kid in a big town, thinking of being a rockstar
You haven't seen nothing yet, wait till I pick up my electric guitar
What's that? I make you feel perplexed?
My mystery is part of the reason why you're impressed
And unconsciously, undoubtedly, you're moving as I sing this
Remember the last time you felt a feeling like this?
The music's real, it's not from the surface
My words, they hit you harder than the shots taken before this
Chasing the bpm, with no opium, keeping the room's rpm
Now I'm ripping it out live, performing at a distance
Uh, bring it down down down down with me
I'll give you all the tools to blow of your steam
Putting a beat now that even drops all the haters
Where are you now
Somewhere on your couch
Dancing by yourself
While everybody's out here with the real entertainer
Come on downtown
Watch me sing to my crowd
Dance like there's nobody else
Cause all I got is love to give man, I'm the real
See I was sticking to making the music to a sensitive audience
Then it had me feeling and thinking about the mainstream audience
Never the one, to steal the fun, keeping it real and hot
Just wanted to sing the type of songs that you would to a girl, with a guitar
People have the habit of bitting the things they shouldn't be bitting at
So, they try to get at the feet of the ones who's really willing it and wanting it
They pull you down, to the ground, even some of the ones you're around
Especially some of the ones you're around, their jealousy, you can't ever see
But I for one was always strong in my preparation
Worked my frikkin ass off, exceeded their expectations
Now my genre ranges from pop to soul to hip-hop
Yeah, soon I'll be hopping back to pop
Homeboy step aside yeah I know you're macho
Here's the real deal, this is not your show
It can never will be, it will never be, that's for sure
I'm not just talking the shit, I'm living it here, I'm rising to my glory years
I've changed since the last time you saw me
Not the little kid anymore disregarded by society
Woke up, daily picked myself back up
Now I'm raking up the pieces you gave and giving them back to your ears
By the time I'm done, you'd wish the past was undone
Won't stop till my name's on football stadiums
Once was a kid with a dream of letting his heart run
Used to ride a sports bike, now I prefer a Harley Davidson
I try to stay pretty positive, am not much of a negative dude
You think I'm done, no, I'm just getting used to you
You think I'm through, no, not even close to
Even my clothes too, no sweat, bout to hit the new groove with the same music
Just for the hell of it, to feel thrill of it
Hit you with another ink, trust me you don't wanna blink
Time to entertain you like I'm supposed to
Time to switch to that close view
The last thing I wanna do is put more hate to the universe
But there are some things I have to take care of first
So this next verse is for all those experts who said I'd never amount to anything
Said I was ridiculous
Oh now my neck hurts looking back at all you haters
Hush hush now pack up, time to hit sin city, alligators
Those of you that bet I'd never make it
Ohh it's time for you to take it
Been rapping me ass, from when Rosh and I crashed
Looking back at, sitting right back of the class
Them being like "Where's this boy at?"
Me checking my backpack, saving my lunch cash, NJ off of my back
Was a player, only in amateur blackjack
God given, at the time it's all that I had
Hella fat, from all the KrackJack, to the food fad
Mirror going "Who's that", looking like Jack Black
Now I'm phat, forever rad, so F all that
Your back home, paying bills with your walled named Dad
One missy, two sissies, 3 Mississippi
Take a deep breath as I sing for you hippies
Straight from gangsta paradise
Filling all the holes as we roll the dice
Changing all the scores up, money where it falls off
Been rolling it all from night to night
Straight from gangsta paradise
Filling all the holes as we roll the dice
Changing all the scores up, money where it falls off
Been rolling it all from night to night
Everything from the audio to the video
The way I sing it really hits on the stereo
Grew up with no daddio, only playing mario
Now I'm fitting to be on the fucking radio
I'm blazing the dust off
Shaking these cuffs off
A piece of wood and a scoop of heart is what my music's made of
There is no trade off with me playing for the people out loud
Wanna know what I'm about, just keep watching to know how
I'm bout to blow up, I'm bout to show up
If you come back to me, you better bow for me now
In front of me you're just a sea trout, that's for no doubt
I can just wipe it all out and go back to SOHO
Since way back when, I've been aiming it high
To see my face goes by in flashing lights
I'm talking the top of Time Square Billboards high
That's right, my alter ego is a maniac who wants to reach for the skies
Goodbye, it's been a while since I left my old life
At times it can only get tough for those eyes
Digesting the reality can sometimes be hard
But the truth is now that you and me are worlds apart
Where are you now
Somewhere on your couch
Dancing by yourself
While everybody's out here with the real entertainer
Come on downtown
Watch me sing to my crowd
Dance like there's nobody else
Cause all I got is love to give man, I'm the real entertainer
From my favourite tv show to my favourite pen
