It Gets Real

(album: The Journal Of An Evil Genius - 2014)

Let me tell 'em what they don't know about me
I never asked to leave it this way
I'm a bad boy shit gets real and if I see another bad boy I can feel if he's fake
Let me tell 'em what they don't know about me
I never asked to leave it this way
I'm a bad boy shit gets real and if I see another bad boy I can feel if he's fake

I been tryna start some money for the rainy weather keeping my loved ones close hoping we stay together
It's all crazy how we live can you take the pressure
We don't get paid by the hour man get pay whenever
I'm living life on the edge too much stress and pressure these days
There ain't as much rhymes in my head
I can't focus even when I'm high yeah it's dead I got problems
Can't sleep as I lie in my bed but I got options still out here
Trying to progress the hood holds me back the ties the connects
The guys that respect for the rhymers the wrecked
All the expectations on sight of success the mentality got mad at me
On the sly I progressed though gradually with a smile on my face yeah happily
I'm like the devil to a hater it's a tragedy

Let me tell 'em what they don't know about me
I never asked to leave it this way
I'm a bad boy shit gets real and if I see another bad boy I can feel if he's fake
Let me tell 'em what they don't know about me
I never asked to leave it this way
I'm a bad boy shit gets real and if I see another bad boy I can feel if he's fake

I lost every good friend I ever had and in the midst of that lost my dad
Let me take that back I never had my dad I just met a stranger I resembled
Natural instincts similar fucking innuendo
I get straight to the point I never beat around the bush my personalities overpowering
That's what fucked me up cos as a youngster my best friend tried to beat me up
Gave me a complex I got vexed and beat everyone up from the school yard bully to the man who brought me up
Went on a rampage and that's the same year they locked me up I shoulda died that year
And no doubt that's the year that I inflicted so much damage I turned karma to a savage
But I refuse to lose abuse the rules I'm a villain you can never walk a mile in my shoes
Still I refuse to lose abuse the rules I'm a villain you can never walk a mile in my shoes

Let me tell 'em what they don't know about me
I never asked to leave it this way
I'm a bad boy shit gets real and if I see another bad boy I can feel if he's fake
Let me tell 'em what they don't know about me
I never asked to leave it this way
I'm a bad boy shit gets real and if I see another bad boy I can feel if he's fake
