[Chorus: C.P.]
All my life I've been stand up, I had to stand up and man up
Why is it so hard for y'all to keep it real? (Keep it real)
Keep it real! (Keep it real), ohhhh
I'm just a man with a plan, bruh
And I've been takin' all the risk so we can win yeah
Why is it so hard for you to keep it real? (Keep it real)
To keep it real, ohhhhh

[Verse 1: Spice 1 & C.P.]
Gotta keep it real with me one hundred, one thousand, one million
Gotta reach my peak, 'cause it ain't no limit, we blow out the ceilin'
Now (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
'Cause you know the way I'm feelin'
Now (Ooh yeah)
I could never stop, I'ma keep bustin' pus-pushin' the frontline (Frontline)
Keepin my thug [?] soldiers, p-uh-ready to ride or die
All of my life I had to stand up and put the shit in perspective
Gun cases, and search [?] duckin' from them detectives
Fetty Chico, rollin' with the strap on the side of me
From holes in my shoes, to lookin' like I won the lottery
Had to keep it real in the projects 'cause nothin' else was expected
And if you did some fuck boy shit, you wasn't respected
I'm just a man with the plan, bruh
Keep fuckin' around I'll wet yo' ass up like ya hand, bruh (Like yo hand, bruh)
Back in the days we used to be broke than a mofucka
We didn't really have shit, and shout out to my real n***as that sleep in them caskets
[Chorus: C.P. & Elder]
All my life I've been stand up, I had to stand up and man up
Why is it so hard for y'all to keep it real? (Keep it real)
Keep it real! (Keep it real), ohhhh
I'm just a man with a plan, bruh (I can't help but wonder)
And I've been takin' all the risk so we can win yeah
Why is it so hard for you to keep it real? (Keep it real) (What Pac would think, with all this corny shit goin' on)
To keep it real, ohhhhh

[Verse 2: Elder & C.P.]
You know that Ryan came through, even when times got hard
So many fucked up situations, be like god damn, dog (God damn, homie)
How the fuck? Could make it happen when people turnin' they back (Turnin' they back)
But I never fail or take the L, 'cause I'ma always bounce back (Yeah) (Always bounce back)
I tried to explain I got the whole city hatin' on me (Hatin' on me)
They pillow talkin' 'round the cooler (hehehe), they debatin' on me (Yap, yap, yap)
I was knocked down, left for dead, can't believe the shit they said (Nah)
Told me I was finished, but now the chickens givin' me head (Yo' girl)
Yeah, is you a friend or you a foe? (Straight up foe)
Some wolves will be in sheep's clothing
So sometimes you never know (You never know)
I have my ups, I have my downs, I have my slips and my falls (Falls)
But I did it like a man with my hand on my balls (Balls)
I know your boys is out there plannin', plottin on my demise
Don't be surprised if you get a visit from five not nice guys (Blaow!)
I mean a phone call will leave you bleedin' out ya socks
Good fellas now go and get your fuckin' shine box and it's on
[Chorus: C.P.]
All my life I've been stand up, I had to stand up and man up
Why is it so hard for y'all to keep it real? (Keep it real)
Keep it real! (Keep it real), ohhhh
I'm just a man with a plan, bruh
And I've been takin' all the risk so we can win yeah
Why is it so hard for you to keep it real? (Keep it real)
To keep it real, ohhhhh

[Verse 3: Spice 1 & C.P.]
No, no, never hold shit back, my n***a just say what you feel
They learn today 'cause I'm gon' always come off with the real
Now I'm about that dollar bill
Now...
Rollin' up with thumper, n***as lookin' for a come up
Back in the day, we was strapped with the K
When the bitch n***as tried to run up
Now (Tried to run up now), they can run up
Now (They can't rup up now)
Tattoos and bandannas, we keep clips shape look like bananas
N***as they know better than runnin' up on us [?]
Used to be too broke to even have beef with a n***a (Beef with a n***a)
Now I gotta hella ridas I could release on a n***a
But I ain't lookin' for drama, I'm just tryna live out my life
But don't fuck with me, n***a, I'ma keep a strap by my side
And continue representin' my best
And c-count on my blessin's because I know that I'm blessed
[Chorus: C.P.]
All my life I've been stand up, I had to stand up and man up
Why is it so hard for y'all to keep it real? (Keep it real)
Keep it real! (Keep it real), ohhhh
I'm just a man with a plan, bruh
And I've been takin' all the risk so we can win yeah
Why is it so hard for you to keep it real? (Keep it real)
To keep it real, ohhhhh
