It's time to be real y'all
|
It's time to be real y'all
|
I said it's time to be real y'all
|
|
First breathe
|
Started off a bad ass
|
East side roamin
|
Out late gettin cash
|
Killas don't talk
|
So I can't say shit
|
So read between the lines
|
And just paint your own pic
|
Hustlin baby
|
On the grind
|
I was brought up right
|
But stayed outta line
|
Guess you can say when you lose
|
You're lost
|
But wit my parents passin on
|
I had to be boss
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I'ma keep it real
|
I'ma keep it real
|
It's all I've ever known
|
I'ma keep it real
|
I'ma keep it real
|
|
Couldn't nobody give me rules
|
Every now and then a jail cell
|
But what's that prove
|
I was still bein hard headed
|
Claimin the streets
|
(We have a red skinded male here disturbin the streets)
|
Problems problems, everybody's got em
|
Jack and sticc and cut and shoot and rob and
|
I was addicted to all
|
Had to change and find a better way
|
To be well off
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Nowadays I got a strong mind
|
I see it all
|
No need for safety nets
|
Cuz I will never fall
|
Keep it floatin like a ghost at night
|
And put fear in those who's eyes just ain't right
|
I got angels watchin over
|
I can feel em when I'm speakin
|
Like they're on my shoulder
|
And I admit that it sure feels good
|
To finally get a chance to be understood
|
Hard times was broke payin dues
|
Made a lot of friends and I met a lot of fools
|
That's why I'm here on the mic today
|
Cuz I'ma be real and tell you what I need to say
|
|
[Chorus]
|

Keep It Real
