Real Talk

Till you walk it yourself It's all real, though Let me talk to you Started back when I was young, always dreamin' big Didn't know the path, but I knew I had to dig Every move strategic, had the vision in my head Success wasn't about what I lacked, but what I fed Watched my pops move smart, no shortcuts, no breaks He said, "Life's about decisions and the risks that you take" Didn't grow up in the struggle, but the hustle was real So I learned early on how to sharpen my skill Fast forward to the grind, kept my focus on my lane Friends chasin' money quick, I was stayin' in the game Stayed patient, built connections that would last through the rain They laughed at the moves, but now they can't explain First taste of success, it came slow but it stayed Learned that every step forward is the price that you paid I ain't tryna flex for the 'gram or the clout But when you build from the ground, that's what life's about This is real life, I don't talk what I ain't seen Kept it movin', every step stayed clean Focused on the grind, and the vision stayed mean Every win that I got came from stickin' to the dream Yeah, this is real life, I don't talk just to boast Kept my team solid, I ain't worried 'bout a ghost They don't know the half, only see what I post But when it's built like this, I just raise a toast Now we here, and the plan's all set in motion Never let the hate slow me, I'm steady coastin' Kept my crew tight, no weak links in the chain 'Cause when you level up, people start to move strange I ain't gotta act hard, but I stand firm on mine Every win that I got is the product of time They wanna fast track, but don't respect the grind I'm buildin' legacy now, every move's by design Look, let me tell you 'bout the nights I stayed low Not 'cause I had to, but 'cause I had to grow Had dreams bigger than the city I know And now we makin' moves like they never could show Told myself early on, I'm in it for the long Didn't need no fake clout to help me move strong Now the tables turned, and the journey's far from gone I'm just getting started, every day another song This is real life, I don't talk what I ain't seen Kept it movin', every step stayed clean Focused on the grind, and the vision stayed mean Every win that I got came from stickin' to the dream Yeah, this is real life, I don't talk just to boast Kept my team solid, I ain't worried 'bout a ghost They don't know the half, only see what I post But when it's built like this, I just raise a toast Now we here, and the plan's all set in motion Never let the hate slow me, I'm steady coastin' Kept my crew tight, no weak links in the chain 'Cause when you level up, people start to move strange I ain't gotta act hard, but I stand firm on mine Every win that I got is the product of time They wanna fast track, but don't respect the grind I'm buildin' legacy now, every move's by design Yeah, they don't know the full story But that's the beauty of it We movin' silent, but we always growin' Raise a glass to the real ones Real talk
