[Chorus]
Hello, welcome to the real
I've been feeling it inside, I'ma let you know the deal (See)
Hello, welcome to the real
Know it's been a bit of time, here's something you can feel (Uh)
Hello, welcome to the real
I've been feeling it inside, I'ma let you know the deal (See)
Hello, welcome to the real
Know it's been a bit of time, here's something you can feel (Uh)

[Verse]
Hello, welcome to the hell fire
The land of corruption, destruction, and most of all liars
This is a reminder I'm currently a resider
My jacket is gasoline but I laugh as they passed the lighter
Been living through the burns and the flames
And never concerned and though my skin no'ing more than
Gooey Gus that's not disturbing
Just making sure you see the picture that I'm painting perfect
On the surface shit is fine cause I don't tell them I'm hurting
Conversing with my demons and leading them like the devils
These pussy n***as be weak now while I'm increasing my levels
Lifting to hit 666, I never settle
Feel I'm falling from the heavens and landed in the ghetto
But inside I'm hearing:
"Hello Markelle, listen, you know what you need to give me this to see a different position
In exchange for your soul you'll get everything that you wishing
Respond with hello, then we sold and in business"

(inaudible, reverse play)

[Chorus]
Hello, welcome to the real
I've been feeling it inside, I'ma let you know the deal (See)
Hello, welcome to the real
Know it's been a bit of time, here's something you can feel (Uh)
Hello, welcome to the real
I've been feeling it inside, I'ma let you know the deal (See)
Hello, welcome to the real
Know it's been a bit of time, here's something you can feel (Uh)

[Outro]
You have any feelings of remorse about being in this position?
No I have no feelings of conscious because for me it's a business
The same as the man with the liquor store
He sells his whisky to the alcoholic cause that's his business
I sell my drugs to drug addicts
It's a business, It's a lot of profit

A fellow can start narcotics I would say at any age really
Within a matter of three to six months
Starting out at about 4 to 6 dollars a day
Can get up to a $100 a day habit

The drug problem in all its complex facets is a challenge to everyone
We are all potential drug takers
If not heroin then tranquilizers, stimulants, sleeping pills, and alcohol
Even if we lived in the country's finest communities
Our children at this moment maybe experimenting with marijuana, hallucinogenics and fentanyl
