Realer Than Most
[Verse 1]
I keep it realer than most
This phrase is often used too loosely
Amongst these n**** putting stencils to this loose-leaf
Making stencils of each other's sh**
They take a virus from that motherboard
Straight back to their mother's ship
I been on some other sh**
Grew up fighting on some lovers sh**
Their moms ain't seen my uncle's brother single mother sh**
Don't tell me you familliar with the struggle if you clueless
Rhonda got a second job after diagnosed with Lupus
We survivors n****
Give a f*ck about your riders, n****
Cause it's always their minds that the livest, n*****
(Cause it's always their minds that the livest, n*****)
[Verse 2]
Ah
All I ever need was a little bit
Tell me that is more
That I gotta get wives sleeping, no, I break it down like a prophecy
Grow more weed to get more high
Birds I seen, they just don't fly
Lives I seen, they just don't shine
Keep it realer than those
Save the lives, that's a hundred to most
And when we die, that's a hundred and more
And where I'm from, they don't love you enough
That's why my mind tell me get it and go
N**** run, get up out of the gold
They don't love me, but it's love where I go
And if I want it n****, take what I want
N**** face here it here, to light up the blunt
And when I die boy, know I'm upping one up
[Chorus]
Ay tell em start up the whip
Spark up a joint
Start with the movement, homie start with the point
We keep it realer than most
We keep it realer than most
Ay tell em, tell em, tell em
Spark up a joint
Start with the movement, homie start with the point
We keep it realer than most
We keep it realer than most
[Verse 3]
Ah
Luminise the campaign
[?]
N****, this that real sh**
Osteoporosis approaching my granny's heels quick
Who gone change your life and the life of the future baby?
It's the reason these n***** love me, the reason I'm going crazy
[?]
I ain't got a lot, I ain't got a lot
[Chorus]
Ay tell em start up the whip
Spark up a joint
Start with the movement, homie start with the point
We keep it realer than most
We keep it realer than most
Ay tell em, tell em, tell em
Spark up a joint
Start with the movement, homie start with the point
We keep it realer than most
We keep it realer than most
[Verse 4]
Ah
Enough
Yeah, that's enough
They say I'm 'bout to have a breakout here, like my skin acting up
Yeah I be reading what they talking 'bout, and that's whats up
But I can't a f*** about n***** and their opinions
Poetry, emotion, how my haikus moving
Fanbase universal, not just high school students
F*** your targeted audience
Everybody nod to this sh** and I'm calling it quits
If they tell me that my message lacks enough direction
I'm the voice of this city, that's the f*cking vessel
And y'all ain't beating enough to be competing with us
So who better than me to literally be the leader
