To Be Real

(album: It Shouldn't Be Like This - 2020)

Young 79, can't lie I feel better than I use to
Can't lie, get it
Can't lie I'm feeling better than I, can't lie
Real talk, uh

To be real I'm still working on how I react
To be real I still ask myself if I should do rap
To be real I barely made dawg I slipped through the crack
To be real it ain't a lot of niggas who got my back
To be real it ain't a lot of bitches who I can call, just to vent just to snap, just to bid just to chat
To be real it ain't a lot, to be real don't take a lot (cmon)

I seen my folks play foul but I wasn't tripping (damn)
A lot of niggas bite style I turnt up and switched it (huh)
Most people got agendas, they just keep it hidden (real talk)
We gon see somebody spinning if we keep on spinning (somebody slipping)
Niggas feeling like they losing cause I keep on winning (losing)
I was losing too, drugs I'm abusing too (spare me)
I was moving to, crib to crib sharing rooms (what)
I had shit and Don crib and in Aaron room (cmon)
Patience running out, a meal away from paper running out I heard my stomach growl (damn)
Now I just got seated boutta eat at [?] (I'm high)
Gotta keep believing can't throw in the, damn (uh)
Gotta keep believing can't throw in the towel
Thankful that I'm breathing so for that I smile (life)
Now I just got seated boutta, damn (hype)
Gotta keep believing can't throw in the towel (damn)

To be real I'm still working on how I react
To be real I still ask myself if I should do rap
To be real I barely made dawg I slipped through the crack
To be real it ain't a lot of niggas who got my back
To be real it ain't a lot of bitches who I can call, just to vent just to snap, just to bid just to chat
To be real it ain't a lot, to be real don't take a lot

I hate iffy vibes, I was cool wit getting by (yea)
Drugs I had, you not focused you not getting fly (damn)
I know bitches got motives ain't there for a love (uh)
Everybody want they moment just to stunt and shine (real talk)
Lil niggas wanna clone it but I got in time (small)
Niggas act so bogus and they outta line (damn)
Might take a lil minute but I gotta climb (get it)
Might take a lil distance but I gotta find (feel me)
When I feel I'm getting mad I try being calm (damn)
Told myself you ain't that busy dawg go see ya mom
I think niggas been envy, I was being blind (envy)
Zoom call early morning I tapped in wit Don (we talking)
Fan rolled past like damn that nigga on the 9 (what)
Like he said he is, no time for petty shit I played the (what)
I played the celly shit, if I made the, I made the getty lit (damn)

To be real I'm still working on how I react
To be real I still ask myself if I should do rap
To be real I barely made dawg I slipped through the crack
To be real it ain't a lot of niggas who got my back
To be real it ain't a lot of bitches who I can call, just to vent just to snap, just to bid just to chat
To be real it ain't a lot, to be real don't take a lot
