That Real

Before I new what I was doing
 I was trying to do something
 That's the definition, listen of a know it all youngin'
 Hard headed, hardly headed in directions I intended
 Where I ended was deaded, like no exit except the entrace
 So now I'm making my entrance as if I'm hopping the fences
 Thinking I'm big pimpin when really I'm just an infant
 Adolescent at best had a lesson of living
 Given to me the stress, inherited with the vision
 Wool over my eyes, blue say is the sky
 Grey is the true color but who say it the why
 So does that make me pessimistic, if I feel Im alright but that best at this shit
 Niggas say Im cool, shorties say Im their lipstick
 On the tip of their tongues is my lyrics their whispering
 Let's make it apply, right place & the time
 Tight space & the vibe is right for lacing a rhyme Might, say Im the prime, light laced in the lime Bittersweet is the beat & together taste is divin Lemonade in the shine, dimmer shade in the blind
 Spots in my mirror, forward never rewind
 Plots vividly clearer, not saying that Im
 Knowing just what Im doing but got faith in my grin
 So stop haters youre lying, if you say that you get it how I get it
 Swab test your failed, cant spit it how I spit it
 One of these days baby I hope to be (it's all real shit)
 Whatever that means, it's all better hope to be
 One of these days baby I hope to be (it's all real shit)
 They say, oh, bringing real shit
 Something you could feel shit numb to that dumb it down, spun overkill shit
 Run, overhill shit, dated like the fifth wheel
 Hate it when they made it
 but they praise it just to get deals
 Me, never that man, thats never happening
 See I be rappin for the feeling I got back when
 I was riding on a big wheel, when friends owing me a dollar was a big deal
 Sunday night, grandmama cook a big meal, meaning that I do it for the innocents in it still
 And if Im naive fucking it man, shit will
 Seem better even though the weather seems chill
 Spleen chills at the idea of seeming fake,
 even though imitation makes mean bills
 I mean, innovation will get you recognition but keep it real is really code for the check is missing
 And thats cool, cause me, Im a realist
 optimistically drinking from the glass of the pessimistic
 Baby check it listen
 One of these days baby I hope to be (it's all real shit)
 Whatever that means, it's all better hope to be
 One of these days baby I hope to be (it's all real shit)
