Say What's Real

Uh, mic check
Turn me up in my headphones a little bit, ok
Uh, yo-yo-yo-yo
I swear to God most the world is a litterbox
Full of shit people tellin' lies from their inner thoughts
How we separate the realest from the fakest of 'em
Sick of smilin' in their fuckin' faces when we know their frontin'
But I can only do me, I take pride in my honesty honestly
You can look into my eyes and you see my soul
Even though you may be blind man I swear you'll know
I used to lie but I promise you I left the bed
A lot of issues in my past but I left 'em dead
I used to bleed a lot of pain through the tears I shed
And just as soon as I got honest man I cleared my head
I feel as I'm gettin' old (but I'm gettin' wiser)
And even when I'm feelin' low (man I'm gettin' higher)
And I would never stop
This is for the ones that doubted me, off top

I say what's real so they're feelin' me now
I say no more to them countin' me out
It's my day I been countin' 'em down
Ain't no way they ain't feelin' me now
I say what's real so they're feelin' me now
I say no more to them countin' me out
It's my day I been countin' 'em down
Ain't no way they ain't feelin' me now

I talk fast but rap slow when my hats low
That's how you know my shit is serious, I'm stone cold
I spit realness so you feel this and the fans know
I'm always honest in my phonics so our minds grow
I never dilute the integrity of hip hop
A way of livin' better but when really it's just not
Easy when it seems like everybody's fucked off
To each they're own I guess but for me I just will not
Go back to the way I was livin' in the cinderblocks
With some needles and pinners screamin' out fuck the cops
I just seen it all, even done a lot
But maybe I can save a life by livin' better off
And maybe I can save myself from my guilty thoughts
All this shoulda coulda woulda's will they ever stop
I just hope that I can hurry up and shake 'em off
Cause I just wanna change the game from the fuckin' top

I say what's real so they're feelin' me now
I say no more to them countin' me out
It's my day I been countin' 'em down
Ain't no way they ain't feelin' me now
I say what's real so they're feelin' me now
I say no more to them countin' me out
It's my day I been countin' 'em down
Ain't no way they ain't feelin' me now
I say what's real so they're feelin' me now
I say no more to them countin' me out
It's my day I been countin' 'em down
Ain't no way they ain't feelin' me now
I say what's real so they're feelin' me now
I say no more to them countin' me out
It's my day I been countin' 'em down
Ain't no way they ain't feelin' me now
