Meek Mill — Real

[Verse 1] I said, I used to get high just to get by Couldn't deal with my reality, was livin' in a lie Sometimes I asked God, "Is we livin' just to die?" Conversations with my dad, and he livin' in the sky I think, "Am I goin' crazy? Or is this shit for real?" The spirit of a nigga who will or is appealed Fightin' to see the light and I'm fightin' to keep it real Like a nigga with no lawyer, I'm ready to take a deal Got me feelin' like Khaled 'cause all I do is win I don't practice no religion 'cause all I do is sin I don't even write it down, I'm just spittin' out what's in I don't celebrate for victory, man, all I do is grin Ugh, shit, I ain't braggin', I don't boast But when it come to bread, fuck a slice, I need a loaf And a little bit of toast just to keep the haters off me Man, I do this for my city, all the niggas waitin' on me [Chorus] Look into my eyes, tell me what you see Youngin' full of pride, tendencies of a G I never gave a fuck what ya heard about me Never told, never sold my soul, nigga this is me [Verse 2] I'm a family man Don't you ever cross that line where my family stand I send them boys to come and get you in that family van Cold shooters that love them hammers like Yosemite Sam I'm from a hood where these niggas scared to dream at Fuck the money, they wanna know where the lean at They make ya' lean back, I'm talkin' fade-away Mike Jordan, gettin' it ain't important How can I forfeit? Niggas makin' a fortune Livin' in fortresses, gettin' it on some corporate shit Go hard or go home and this the orphanage Same niggas that I grew up I be often with Small circle 'cause niggas a murk you Most of the time it's niggas that know, but my niggas is purple... Hearted, I seen the snakes before they even started Caught 'em and the was dearly departed [Chorus] Look into my eyes, tell me what you see Youngin' full of pride, tendencies of a G I never gave a fuck what ya heard about me Never told, never sold my soul, nigga this is me
