Keep It Real

And do it all over again Once upon a time In the city Busy Streets Yet I'm a master Minding my own business Sitting in the Library Contemplating How to keep minding my own business Sticking to the nitty gritty In Getting What my hands hustle for Sipping the Early morning coffee I need to find a way To Benefit and Be a Benefit A way that's revolutionary I see the signs and symbol Yet the wallets Looking very scary for a visionary The struggle is real Every day I look high and low To maintain Clothes, Shelter and Deals that pave the way to the next Meal As I go As I flow As I go As I know Wherever I go The Real Is All I show As I go As I flow As I go As I know Wherever I go The Real Is All I show What keeps the planets in orbit While you chew on that I'm trying to get my hands on the market Did I mention I'm a starving Artist Hungry to get to the bigger picture I clock out in a few minutes Got me treating work tickets like sacred scriptures I've been here since sunrise Workin like an ox Dressed in a fancy suit and tie What's in your wallet Only the fabric of life It's in the pursuit of purpose That I find solace Oh the taste of daily bread By the time I get home It's singing sad songs in the shower And take my butt straight to bed Tomorrow Rinse and repeat Do it all over again As I go As I flow As I go As I know Wherever I go The Real Is All I show As I go As I flow As I go As I know Wherever I go The Real Is All I show Wherever I go The Real Is All I show Catchin mean mugs Like I gotta disease All I'm trying to do Is make pockets of cheese Wherever I go I'm just doing the best I can Just Passing Through narrow roads and strange lands I grab the keys to the car I hit the road with next level plans to raise the bar If you could walk in my pleather shoes Then even You would understand Just how hard it can be for a Black man To turn the sweat of labor Into lawful money in my hand Just put the money in my hand As I go As I flow As I go As I know Wherever I go The Real Is All I show As I go As I flow As I go As I know Wherever I go The Real Is All I show
