[Intro]

I forgot what I was gonna say!

What did I say when I was out there?

(That's real) I can't think, was... I don't know

I can't remember what I was gonna say, for real, ya'll think I'm playin'?

Ya'll think I'm playin'? (That's real)

For real though, look

Light your weed, lightin' mine right now

And I ain't trippin' 'cause you'll back in about, mmm, 'bout three minutes and thirty seconds

See, it's all crazy now!


[Verse 1]

I come from a place where they get to name

And that's why it never sounds the same

Ain't nothin' changed but the chain and the motherfuckin' charm

Shit's for life, so you can kill the alarm

You can never get the love I get

And you can never quite get the kind of shit I spit

And when you boil it all down in a pot, I'm too hot for TV

Now the TV wanna be me

Many dance with the hair and the makeup

They know who and I ain't gotta bring they names up

When they see me, they all get shook

'Cause I just stole the show off just one hook

Be afraid, it just keeps growin'

Out of control for a one-night show

And when it's all said and done, I'll be out in the back

Now tell me what you think about that


[Chorus]

That's real (What kind of person you know is like me?)

That's real (Always know where your foes might be)

That's real (I'ma leave it alone with these worries)

That's the realest shit that I've ever heard

That's real (What kind of person you know is like me?)

That's real (Always know where your foes might be)

That's real (I'ma leave it alone with these worries)

That's the realest shit that I've ever heard


[Verse 2]

When I spit it, I lived it, more soul than not

Eastside 'til I die, represent your block

I'm on your corner with the hot dog stand

And everything from seven to eight Gratiot to Hoover I had my hand in

A little piece, but I was cool with that

But if my piece ain't right, I put a hole in your back

I keep my chest strapped with rolls of dynamite

And if you go against the side, somebody's dyin' tonight

I keep it out of sight like a bitch with no eyes

Who got 'em poked out for spreadin' all her venomous lies

I'm baptized by the streets

I'm homicidal with the shit that I speak, I resurrect from the beat

Complete lyricist who can disappear in the mist

Without no witnesses, you won't forget this shit

I'm swingin' hard and I'm leavin' a mark

Don't let me catch you slippin' with your shit in park *Gun cocks*


[Chorus]

That's real (What kind of person you know is like me?)

That's real (Always know where your foes might be)

That's real (I'ma leave it alone with these worries)

That's the realest shit that I've ever heard

That's real (What kind of person you know is like me?)

That's real (Always know where your foes might be)

That's real (I'ma leave it alone with these worries)

That's the realest shit that I've ever heard


[Verse 3]

This the M to the izz-O, N to the izz-O

X marks the spot, now watch 'em all fizzle

I drop that shit that burns when ya'll sizzle

A full-blown cyclone and you're a little drizzle

Don't "For shizzle" me, that shit is played out

Just pay homage to 40 and keep his dick out your mouth (Yo!)

I'm here to let you know that I'm sealin' it up (What?)

Protected by Monoxide, bitch, that's what's up!


[Chorus]

That's real (What kind of person you know is like me?)

That's real (Always know where your foes might be)

That's real (I'ma leave it alone with these worries)

That's the realest shit that I've ever heard

That's real (What kind of person you know is like me?)

That's real (Always know where your foes might be)

That's real (I'ma leave it alone with these worries)

That's the realest shit that I've ever heard

That's real (What kind of person you know is like me?)

That's real (Always know where your foes might be)

That's real (I'ma leave it alone with these worries)

That's the realest shit that I've ever heard

That's real (What kind of person you know is like me?)

That's real (Always know where your foes might be)

That's real (I'ma leave it alone with these worries)

That's the realest shit that I've ever heard
