Real

Back unto basics wipe the dust up off my drum pads Pop a couple tablets of some acid then I kick back Relax stab a simple pattern of some boom bap Lay some synthesizer chords then automate the low pass My notepad is packed stacked with verses front to back And it's so thick that it could probably catch a bullet still intact And that is fact I am something of a myth Local legend of the sticks leaving all these haters pissed Fall back if you's a bitch silly rappers act entitled Like we owe them our support because two singles are on Tidal Suicidal mumble rap whatever style viral They want all the admiration in the length of a free trial Such denial of the many miles needed to succeed The only guarantee in life is fate and that we'll meet So take it on the chin or turn the other cheek Someday I'll reach the top of every list of worlds best emcees I keep it real I keep it real I keep it real All day everyday All day everyday I keep it real I keep it real I keep it real All day everyday All day everyday I zone out in the booth down at my Dad's house Same old dirty basement where I came up I throw down Same old corner closet in my bedroom I bar out Rip the microphone apart from my dome no phone out My mouth will tell you all there is you need to know About the differences that separate an amateur and pro Number one is the soul two is the drive Three is the heart and number four is the pride Fake rappers sell you lies and take advantage of their fans While record labels have them sign the dotted line and box them in If they can tune into a trend and maybe guarantee a hit Then they will shove it down the throats of every adolescent kid Farm the numbers make them big until you think that they're the shit And then they slide the artist one percent off every single cent And they flex like they're rich but most are all in debt Except for me because I'm rich in timeless music and respect Bitch I keep it real I keep it real I keep it real All day everyday All day everyday I keep it real I keep it real I keep it real All day everyday All day everyday
