(Chorus)
Get down on your knees and you pray to the Lord
But keep your head up when you talk, we accord
Speak with that clarity, give to the charity
No confusion on anything, we live in sincerity
Stay loyal, stay real, and stay true to the crew
And like momma said, don't forget who the fuck you are, too
(Verse 1)
Down in the South where the humidity's high
We look a man straight in the depth of his eye
When you open your mouth, better mean what you say
Let the truth hit the air, wash the doubt all away
No mumbling, no fumbling, we standing up straight
Put your hands to the sky but don't falter on faith
We giving to the needy, we breaking the bread
Remembering every word that our mommas had said
(Chorus)
Get down on your knees and you pray to the Lord
But keep your head up when you talk, we accord
Speak with that clarity, give to the charity
No confusion on anything, we live in sincerity
Stay loyal, stay real, and stay true to the crew
And like momma said, don't forget who the fuck you are, too
(Verse 2)
Loyalty's royalty, we wear it like a crown
Never let a fake dollar come and tear a brother down
Be true to your roots, keep your boots in the mud
This lineage is thicker than the water and the blood
Clear speech, high reach, never hide what you mean
Keeping my conscience and my hands all clean
So when you talk to the heavens or you talk to the street
Make sure they know you mean business on every single beat
(Outro)
Yeah, stay real.
Never forget where you came from.
Like momma said... don't ever forget who you are.
Head up. Always.
