Let’s see who really who really who really really real

Let’s see who really who really who really really real

Let’s see who really who really who really really real

Let’s see who really who really who really really real

Let’s see who really... real

Who give that legit... spill

Who can I share my... fill with

Brethren I can... build with

Til we crackin... ceilins

Of the bosses... buildins

Thinkin we gon... deal with

All that oppress... -sion, we

Rebels findin.... something

We could thrive on... nothing’s

Gonna stop us... bluffing’s

Not about us... buck teeth

When you talkin... bubbly

When we poppin... hug me

When I’m sobbin... tough me

When I’m lost in

My head and all I can see is another 40 waitin

Downed the beer to block the fear and then I called it maintenance

Regret has a thousand voices and they all screamin failure

Got demonized versions of you and they all screamin traitor

I damn nearly gave up, ‘til I had picked my face up

And saw my family wake me up from nightmares I had made up

“Your brother loved you and he’d hate to see how bad your face was

When you were suffering all alone those moments nearly gave us

A heart attack and we couldn’t reach out cause you had spaced us

Apart from you, but as hard as you cryin I can’t take this

If u feelin it reach out to me so I can make this

A lil bit easier, lemme remind you of what faith is”

It’s all my kin who say this, who know I’m meant for greatness

Who know my greatest weakness n they shield em, arms are bracin

And so I honor they wish, cause they wish I could make it

Ignoring laughs from the haters who claim that I am nameless

While all the homies sayin, “meta don’t give up!

Your brother baisa gem is watchin and you reppin us!”

Damn near quit this music saw no point in goin through this

‘Til I remembered that my homies rock my name, the truest

My parents both supportive of the dream I got, don’t lose it

this opportunity I have is built on dreams influenced

By all the lives that I lost, inherit fires and hearts

Of all who tried it the hardest, livin this life on an off switch

Too much pressure can have you tippin from earth to hell

And so my family had to check me so I could ask for help

Aint no shame in that, ain’t nobody make it alone

The greatest lie in hip hop is that you are great alone

And so I say to those , “your favorite rapper clones”

Your name is worthless without everyone who packs the whole

Who had my back in all the times I tried act alone

The homies back at home remind me that I stand alone

Amongst the rappers that they hear theyd rather have a known

Homie they can hear spit about all the facts from home

I’d rather have you all beside me than these racks I hold

That’s if we talkin trade, but nothin wrong with havin both

In fact I’m tryna make some dough so I can have my own

Family I can build so I ain’t goin back to old

days stuck in a daze of the days of other ages I embrace another day’s rays of sun aimin

For the top, and who to take, names, well start from basics

If we’ve ate, or made bank, wait, there’s more basics

If we’ve drank or braved hate thank you I am changin

I am takin meta4us knowin that all us made it

If it ain’t another way to make it then I can’t change it

I am stayin the same way, bracin for the failin

If it’s fate I’ll change ways thankful I am sharin

All these days with fam I love damn it and I can’t fake it

If I died right now knowing that I had kin who love me

A loving mother who was stubborn when the shit got ugly

A younger brother who could share my pain our demons run deep

A loving summer turned to human form who I call honey...

I could take a rain of bullets if it meant I’ll save em

But I know that would pain em tryna outlive my day ones

Cause I know that grief could kill so itd be selfish ain’t it

Sayin I wanna die when all my family facin

The same pain, I’ll maintain bravely til I make it

Celebrate with cake ayday cause I have made it

Up to here we persevered, fearless in our makin

I am here, my kin is here, Daniel, I’ll be patient
