Intro
Yeah
Listen
Uh
This one's personal
(this one's personal)
Verse 1
I'm a warrior of the microphone trenches
Spitting bars so hard they'll knock down your fences
Born from the pavement with calluses on my soul
Chasing every dream to make myself whole
My flow is a river, your flow is a puddle
You think you're complex but you're really just a muddle
I bleed for this music every single day
While you just press buttons and hope for okay
Chorus
Cause I'm real
So real
Really really real
You're fake
So fake
Incredibly fake
Real ones know
(real ones know)
The fake ones show
(the fake ones show)
Uh huh
Yeah
Verse 2
My struggles built character yours built a brand
You talk about the streets but you don't understand
I wake up every morning with hunger in my eyes
While you manufacture pain and call it a surprise
My metaphors are mountains yours are speed bumps
My journey is a highway yours is just lumps
I navigate the darkness with a compass of truth
While you were somewhere comfortable losing your youth
Hook
Authenticity
(authenticity)
Can't be purchased
(can't be purchased)
Realness
(realness)
Is a lifestyle
(is a lifestyle)
Uh
Verse 3
Yeah I like rhyming I do it all the time
You say you like rhyming but your rhymes are only fine
I rhyme with rhyme cause rhyming is my rhyme
My rhymes out-rhyme your rhymes every single time
Rhyming is a craft and I craft every rhyme
You couldn't find a rhyme if rhyme was in the title
My rhyme game is vital yours is just a recital
Of rhymes that don't rhyme with the rhymes that I rhyme
Did I mention I rhyme
(he rhymes)
Yeah
Outro
Thank you for this journey
It hasn't been easy
But nothing worth having ever is
Real recognize real
And the fake ones
They know who they are
(they know)
(uh)
(yeah)
(this has been a journey)
