[Spoken Intro: Smokey]
Turn the beat up in the headphones, the headphones. I wanna feel it in my bones. Uh-huh, yeah, it's like that. Like that, like that, uh, uh

[Verse 1: Smokey]
If you ask me, ain't shit changed, I'm still the same
Still watchin' my mama taking the meds to beat the pain
Ever since I was a youngin', spoiled and straight buckin'
I always had something when we really had nothing
My people was on the hustle tryna make ends meet
Living life in Los Angeles ain't what they make it to be
That thirty day notice put my family in the break down face down
Talking to the law, "Where the hell we supposed to stay now?"
That was my first introduction to stress
It fit great, showing up to school feeling depressed
Was separated from my sister, Pookie Blow, now we back for more
Smoking and sippin' Hennessy backstage at the show
God bless Robinson Park that was my only escape
Glenn, Menay and Nicole, they kept me moving with faith
But now we moving in a whole 'nother pace ya'll
And until the day I D-I-E, I'll always thank y'all
And it's like that

[Chorus: Smokey & Bunge]
It's all about what's real, what's real
It's all about what's real, what's real
It's plain to see, you can't change me, 'cause Imma be a villain for life
It's plain to see, you can't change me, 'cause Imma be a villain for life
[Verse 2: Bunge]
Life got its ups and downs
Balancing weighing my options walking these [?] grounds
Now that I'm older I'm wiser and got a different view
Like how the government lie and try to conceal the truth
Cops wanna kill the youth
They'll leave you on your back paralyzed and won't feel for you
All the affliction building up is taking its toll
Single mother losing her only child affecting my soul
He got hit with 100 rounds but shit I felt that the most
Was just a youngin' in this world with no direction to go
With lack of guidance and neglected by the people he know
That's why I'm thankful for my family and the people I know
Shit could be worse, I'm talking dead face flat on the floor
My only motive is to make a change the president won't
I'd free my n***as out the pen so we can win and get on
Until then, I send my love through all these letters and notes
Look in the mirror the reflection will show, just who you really are

[Chorus: Smokey & Bunge]
It's all about what's real, what's real ('cause at the end of the day)
It's all about what's real, what's real
It's plain to see, you can't change me, 'cause Imma be a villain for life ('cause at the end of the day)
It's plain to see, you can't change me (what?), 'cause Imma be a villain for life ('cause at the end of the day)

[Spoken: Smokey and Bunge]
It's like sometimes you have difficulties of just like, knowing who's there for you because, the moment you come up, it's the motherfucker that's trying to bring you down you feel me, to where it's just like "damn bro, I thought you was there!", you know what I'm saying, like we grew up just like, you feel me, just like a year ago. We grew up all of our life, you feel me and it just be like damn bro, like what am I supposed to do like am I supposed to stay down or go up. Like sometimes you be like, "fuck man, I don't know if I gotta cut n***as off or if I-" damn. It's real n***a
Not only that it's just, being from the hood and not bang in the hood, n***as get out the fuse real quick, like you feel me, n***as is definitely from the hood. Without a doubt. But n***as don't bang it, like you know what I'm saying n***as might, you know, n***as dress like it, talk like it, move like it, you know we ain't ever put out lives in danger for that shit. Trying to elevate, trying to take that shit to the next level, to the next platform and shit, you know, shit be crazy you know what I'm saying? Trying to, you know, be controversial and like smart at the same time

And these bitches!

*Laughter*

Keep your head on straight
Fuck it, fuck it, fuck it, fuck it, fuck it
