[Intro]
I was fortunate enough, dog, as a young n***a
To see what a real n***a look like
I was raised during the real era
Where being a real n***a meant something, n***a

[Chorus]
I'm committed to being a real n***a and nothing else
100% real n***a, nothing less
I stand a real n***a till God take my last breath
I do this shit for the few real n***as in the streets left
I'm committed to being a real n***a and nothing else
100% real n***a, nothing less
I stand a real n***a till God take my last breath
I do this shit for the few real n***as in the streets left

[Verse 1]
I had a part time daddy, the streets made me a man
If I had to do it all over, I'd let the streets raise me again
The indictment showed me ain't no such thing as a real friend
I had to learn that a good heart, that shit'll do you in
Been fucked over by my homies, been fucked over by my kin
I'll bet one motherfucking thing: it won't happen again
A pussy n***a break, a real n***a don't bend
Don't trust a n***a that don't smile no more than you trust a n***a that grin
Don't know if Heaven is going to accept me, I got to many sins
I hope God don't overlook me, I hope he understand
Free all the real n***as in prison, give them one more chance
Until that happen, I'ma be they motherfucking spokesman
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Everything I claim to be, that's whats the streets tell me
This music shit just make stars, but the streets make legends
Not being real, but staying real, that's been my biggest blessing
These n***as hate you when you got it, that's been my biggest lesson
But ain't a hoe that can hurt me, ain't a n***a that can scare me
I was born to be a real n***a, so I'ma die one
100% real n***a, real as they come
Remember when being a real n***a used to mean something
These n***as rather you lie to them, the truth they run from
I'm a self made motherfucker, thanks, I owe none
The n***as that had it all done lost it, that's who I learn from
I'ma real n***a, 365, until I'm done

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Being a real n***a, that's a fuck n***a's dream
But that's a milestone that only a few n***as can obtain
This shit ain't about money, this shit ain't about fame
This shit a way life, it ain't about what you claim
Only God can judge me, that's some bullshit
You really felt like that, n***a? Why you trying to impress a bitch?
The streets' opinion matter, that's why I'm on G shit
My name is all I got, I'm willing to die for that shit
I won't change for nothing, what you see is what you get
A real n***a and a fuck n***a is something that don't mix
I got my own cash, never been a "yes man"
The few real n***as in the streets left, I'm your biggest fan
[Chorus]
