What's Real

Cold cock the system
 Patrol cars and prisons
 The mowed lawns of bigots
 Them folks all complicit
 It's no time for crickets
 Or robots with gimmicks
 Who botox their lyrics, their lines just fade,
 Mine get engraved in the mind like the faith in divine
 'Cause I'm taking my time when I pray
 To the microphone gods, when the rifle smoke rise
 Our devices don't lie, this a slice of warm pie
 'Merkin style, when ISIS don't fly
 We still got terror when the lights'll roll by
 So the truth we tell to soften the burn of the madness
 Salute who fell to coffin, the urn or the casket
 Coupe Deville our confidence certainly lacking
 Remove the veil take off the tourniquet fastened
 To the last leg of our self-doubt, we fly now
 Fists to the sky and a battle cry, we mobbed out
 Arms out, ready for the world
 Cut another gem, a machete to the pearl, uh
 Arms out, ready for the world
 We gon' let it burn they till get what they deserve
 The war don't stop till warden drops the chains
 The robocops, the chokeholds got to change
 It's bonafide they photoshopped the game
 Made dodo Trump the locos' tyrant king
 Real rappers we write, yuh
 Real fathers don't leave us
 Real prophets don't hate, nah
 Try to pass off malice as the gospel of Jesus
 Real leaders don't lie
 Real protectors don't shoot, nah
 Out of fear of the dark
 Put another black body at the bottom of a tomb, huh
 The war don't stop till warden drops the chains
 The robocops, the chokeholds got to change
 It's bonafide they photoshopped the game
 Made dodo Trump the locos' tyrant king
 Real talk real soldiers seek peace
 Real love is not a yoke
 Real talk real men don't push
 When any part of a woman says 'no'
 Real patriots stand
 For more than a flag, for their countrymen's back
 Real power ain't a badge
 Or a real soft spot on the government's lap
 The war don't stop till warden drops the chains
 The robocops, the chokeholds got to change
 It's bonafide they photoshopped the game
 Made dodo Trump the locos' tyrant king
