Keep It Real

We ain't playing motherfucker
Yea you know we been legit
We out here trading bars
Like you think we've been in gyms
We ain't out here playing cards
Every moves deliberate
And every missed step
We use it to our benefit
Never posting up our bests
We just comprehend
Cause we don't need to flex
To know we getting Benjamin's
Think about it and reflect
As we let the record spin
I ain't saying it again
We in the game so we can win

You got icy in your veins? Then go tell everyone
(God damn)
If I did the same
Everybody would call me Ben Tennyson
Ice from outer space
As you see me the rocking the pendulum
And never hear the end of it
Until this fucking records done
Let me just, let it run
I came here to upset the cunts
Cause playing round with pussies
Sounds to me like it'd be pretty fun
Better get your back up
And have your dawgs ready on the hunt
Cause they go miss you dearly doe as I turn you to venison

But then again, let me keep my eyes closed
Play pretend
Listen to these stories bout dem thug's life day accept
These bullshit claims, that don't got no basis, copy pasted and
Think I heard that one before
Something like what shady said
Can't you come up with some more
Instead of saying shit again
There's a lack of what's in store
A lack of a creative end
Don't wanna hear the stories concocted in they lazy heads
Blatant influences put in the mix in so you taste the blend
Wait it all depends
What if I paid all amends
So I can flex right out the gate
And get me to play with Benz
Driving out the way
As I let the record go play
In 358 kph
Forget the hate, it dont mean anything
Better yet
I should have paid attention and dues
To my endless pursuit
Been relentless consumed
By the lessons and hues
I've been destined to do
Work that be messing the tunes
Just you wait. I'm the best to be soon

Let's not overthink the content
Claiming that you gang banging
Like your favorite artists
You ain't done the same thing
And that's the point of conflict
Word to Kendrick
You ain't gotta lie to kick it man
Just be honest
Upon this
Fictional tales
What's accomplished
Others really struggled
Got no dime up in their pocket
What's the point of listening man it feels like you robbed us
To live a false identity means you better be cautious

But way beyond the surface
Let's take a dive and just keep it real
I don't need cheap gimmicks to be heard
I can just speak and chill
Others beginning to stretch the truth to get a decent deal
Some got sacrificial lambs
Looking for some sheep to kill
While I seek the thrill
I can do it on my own
Could give a fuck about appeal
Comfortable in my own skin
Casted enough votes to my ego to look up to my skill
Call it braggadocio
But to climb mountains you gotta feel
Confidence in your ability
Fine line between humility
But never say it on repeat
That I just got a mil
Never will I go pretend to be
Someone who's living carelessly
Fuck the riches what's a little leak
If you let it spill

We ain't playing motherfucker
Yea we've been legit
We out here trading bars
Like you think we've been in gyms
We ain't out here playing cards
Every moves deliberate
And every missed step
We use it to our benefit
Never posting up our bests
We just comprehend
Cause we don't need to flex
To know we getting Benjamin's
Think about it and reflect
As we let the record spin
I ain't saying it again
We in the game so we can win
