[Verse 1]
Hey, I write for cause never applause
Give my life through these bars
I filled with scars
Never let it all get to me
I gotta gift in me
And fucking hate on none of y'all mean shit to me
I grew up around some people I believed in
And they just left and I don't even know the reason
They keep saying, I changed, I blew up, and I'll never be the same boy
Hello to old days, I salute you
My mom raised a gentlemen my father raised a trooper
The people I grew up around I tilt my head to you
I went to school with you now it's time for me to school you for real
When I'm writing boy you playing the field
All I hear is all the talk about you saying you will
Damn, why you busy doing that
Boy I'm busy writing raps trying to fill my [?]
Watch my money stack
I learned to separate the real from fake
I've become so numb I can't feel my face
I remember each tear I've faced
I still face fear that's why I'm here today
They just want me dead
And they hate when I'm ahead
Wanna count my money, wanna count my bread
You small minds won't break me
I make a change before I let a change make me
[Hook]
That's real I know
That's real
Baby girl that's real
I told you that baby that's real
I know I ain't been the same
Cause all throughout the pain
I've been going insane
I've been going insane
[Verse 2]
Now I'm, hey, running around I'm a young victim
Few shots were popped off but all of them missed him
Hate a proof, state the truth, you fade quick no lies here
My eyes tear so my words will never die here
That's real
I wonder how my sister feel
Hanging with people who grip the steel
Does she love it, does she get a rush from it dog?
I can't tell but I know my heart will plummet if I ever get that call dog
Am I perfect? Never
I like my older version better
So happy even with the trauma thrown at me
Full blown athlete running like a track meet
Even like me better when I had a little acne
Braces now ask me
Right now how I feel
My stomach always turning never mind a meal
And yet I grind and still have hope for the future
I know it's coming when I see the sky blue hommie
[Hook]
That's real I know
That's real
Baby girl that's real
I told you that baby that's real
I know I ain't been the same
Cause all throughout the pain
I've been going insane
I've been going insane
