The Realness

3 days before my birthday, it's beautiful outside Watchin' the sun rise, barely opening an eye When the orange meets the yellow and the sun seems to dwell low I hit you wit' a Ruby, nice to meet you, and a hello While I dream about the days up in Eastern Leyte, lately Raised in San Lorenzo, but Tacloban City made me Knew my life would change from the album mama gave Magalona to this day, and the poetry that saved me Like Uzumaki when I spiral with the skill If you take away this body's just a vessel for the real Destination to the moon like I'm Heinlein, in my mind Watch the thoughts bloom, 'cuz if I rhyme, then I find Writing monsoons from my bloodline, in due time Owe it to my mother, lines deep like her smile lines The womb too the moon every tune make you miss this Summa cum lyricist, tell me who da realest is! Hit em with realness one time, one two I hit em with realness one time, one two Gotta hit em with realness one time, one two Come look into my eyes, I got a bird eyes view Hit em with realness one time, one two I hit em with realness one time, one two Gotta hit em with realness one time, one two Come look into my eyes, I got a bird eyes view And when the sun go down, do you feel that moon? I was that seed in the dark that no one thought would bloom The places that I'm from, people gone too soon So like a fly on the wall, I try to gauge my room Like what you wake up for when the dawn breaks? When everythings at stake, how you work with that mindstate? You wish for a clean slate, I'd rather have a full crate Of drum breaks and heart breaks, my one plate, can bear weight, that might make You less of an enemy, we feed off the energy M E before M C, i.e. you get all of me Fools dream of fools gold, I won't be a fool, so Drown me in a pool of Atomic 79, "aye you, " can you remind how gold and ruby be divine? But if the object is to shine, I wanna brighten up this mind There's a picture bigger than this, emcees that's better than me If we talkin' 'bout the realest then it better be me! Aye! Hit em with realness one time, one two I hit em with realness one time, one two Gotta hit em with realness one time, one two Come look into my eyes, I got a bird eyes view Hit em with realness one time, one two I hit em with realness one time, one two Gotta hit em with realness one time, one two Come look into my eyes, I got a bird eyes view Mama look at me, this the person I become Half beast, half girl with a sword for a tongue Oddly, being this godly, take my prey and disembody I gotta drop it and rock it to top its more than a hobby But, ain't no "deal" for "I" like I talked to a Shinigami My rhymes are "death notes," how many beats I gotta body? I'm a "mad villain," I relapse and "do miles" Y'all "Doomed MF's" can't mask your used styles These idioms I'm sendin 'em to idiots and simpletons Don't pity 'em, I sentence 'em, opinions, depending when We role models so the stage like runways We tryna run away to one way, the sun's rays Focus on our daughters and the way our son's raised Uh, Ruby Ibarra, I'ma make it one day, yuh... Ruby Ibarra, I'ma make it one... way, uh... Yuh, Ruby Ibarra, I'ma make it some... day
