[Verse 1]
Real talk, this is real as it get
The ones really getting shine ain’t who really could spit
And ain’t nobody really helping, they ain’t giving you shit
On the real ‘less they feel you can give them a hit
And then they really going hard, really swiping the card
Really thinking that you on the chain, house and the car
But really that shit is borrowed, really you getting duped
And if they really spending money, you never really recoup
Just look at who really last, really getting the cash
You really don’t see the label out grinding, busting their ass
Who really be in the lab, really be in the trap
Who really be doing shows in danger of getting clapped
Executives sitting back, telling you what the streets want to hear
You really know it ‘cause you really be there
But you really want you a deal, really think it gon’ get you a mil
Who else really tryna give you the real?
The real shit, man
[Hook]
“I do it for y’all”
“Real rap music for y’all”
“Got the skill to keep it real” “I’m authentic”
“Always real, I don’t get synthetic”
“The realness, I bring to it” “I know you feeling this”
“They talking a good one, but they don’t know how real it is”
“100%” “it’s all real”
“Word of mouth, the fucking shit is real”
[Verse 2]
On the real, this rap shit ain’t really all that it seem
Gassing you to sell records, really selling a dream
But getting eight cents an album really getting no cream
Your record contract is really a scheme, really see what I mean?
The artists revolt, the labels evolve
Your problem is selling records, then their problem is solved
‘Cause they’ll drop an act quick and sign another tomorrow
It’s real talk that I’m giving to y’all
The realness is the [?]
The showing fearlessness to help you make the illest shit
The real is this I’ll probably never pop
‘Cause when you give it to them smart, it never really get hot
I’m surprised there’s a spot for Cole and K. Dot
Keep ‘em stupid, feed ‘em slop, the more just come from the top
That’s how they stay in the spot, the real’s in the music
Now I can give it to you, but what you gon’ do with it?
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
I’ve been real since day 1, credit been A1
Ask them who real as Tor, they real, they say none
My gold chains is real, diamonds too, homie
Rather rock a real flood than fronting a fake rollie
Tock ticking, the realer you are, then your stock risen
But they got it backwards, that’s how the plot thicken
Man who really getting cake, really pushing weight
And if you really bout it bout it, you really put it on tape
That’s real, like being responsible black males
Know about the latest kicks, don’t know when the last meal for your kid
And real ain’t just doing a bid
But getting better in time and knowing more than you did
When you first got knocked, on the real, all my verses knock
And that’s real shit, believe it or not
I’m the realest with the quotes, the realest with the liners in the notes
This really the realest shit I ever wrote
