| You get what you get, nigga
|
| Ay freeze, give me that lighter bro
|
| Go ahead and light something up
|
| Vibe with me
|
| Never letting this entertainment business drive me (drive me)
|
| Never will I let being famous make me cocky (making me cocky)
|
| So I watch out for these bitches
|
| Cause it’ll take them thirty years for them
|
| To try to tarnish your name like Bill Cosby
|
| No paparazzi all in front of my steps
|
| Sometimes, we brothers, we just do that shit to ourselves
|
| We learn from it with a little help in a major way
|
| I’m just hoping we don’t fuck around
|
| And make the same mistakes (okay)
|
| But look I’m back here in the same spot that I left in (that I left in)
|
| You don’t know me, cool
|
| I’m making my very best first impression
|
| Been blessed to send yall a message
|
| For every time you get into the mood
|
| I’m here for the grown folks to youth
|
| Your family and boo and you
|
| I’m talking everybody
|
| You can accept it at your own pace
|
| But we can’t keep screaming racism
|
| If we killing our own race
|
| Not only are we against them
|
| We against us
|
| We been fucked up
|
| Cause this rap life is a fucking false reality
|
| If I could make a living keeping it real with y’all
|
| Keeping it real with y’all, keeping it real with y’all
|
| Then I could go to the grave knowing I did my job
|
| Did my job by not promoting a false reality
|
| Touching the world, got to make this music live forever man
|
| Live forever man, live forever man
|
| Never let someone make you feel you don’t feel deserve everything
|
| These false realities ain’t everything (I know I’m right)
|
| She was dying on the outside
|
| Baby was growing on the inside
|
| Bringing a new life into this life
|
| How did it get this way?
|
| Dealing with these petty thugs
|
| That rather hit every club
|
| Instead of giving they baby mama belly rubs
|
| Childish things
|
| Lie about a lot of these things
|
| Like trying to get close to bad bitches
|
| Not knowing we putting down our queens
|
| We don’t even notice all this drama we cause
|
| Look, if you don’t know nothing about how to love, brother
|
| You don’t know nothing at all
|
| Thinking like what if fifty years ago
|
| They had what we got?
|
| These cell phones or the Internet
|
| Would have been divided by color
|
| You all can’t even prepare us for this shit we dealing with now
|
| So the newer niggas gotta be able to help their younger brothers
|
| And love each other
|
| Cause the people still talking
|
| The soul of Doctor King is still marching
|
| We dealing with these everyday tragedies
|
| Kids wrapped up in the rap life
|
| That’s false reality
|
| (No I don’t got to bring up race to know this country was build off it,
|
| I’m just saying)
|
| If I could make a living keeping it real with y’all
|
| Keeping it real with y’all, keeping it real with y’all
|
| Then I could go to the grave knowing I did my job
|
| Did my job by not promoting a false reality
|
| Touching the world, got to make this music live forever man
|
| Live forever man, live forever man
|
| Never let someone make you feel you don’t feel deserve everything
|
| These false realities ain’t everything (I know I’m right) |
