Intro
you know what the problem is with rappers nowadays man
Don’t nobody keep it real anymore man
It’s all Gucci Gang this
Bad & Boujee that
yo that shit whack son!
shit is played
I don’t got time for it man
I gotta keep it real!
Verse 1
gotta keep it real, even if, we start a duel
gotta keep it real, even though, it isn’t cool
almost ten years strong, loving God, through every bruise
got the name of the Lord, engraved, like tattoos
deployed to Desert Storm, with a Tac .45
bowie knife
frontlines, until, 2025
cuz
we living this, til’ the day that we die
survival of the fit, only the strong survive
Pre-Chorus
every since the jump, you ain’t never kept it real
speaking small talk, but you never speak, foreal
when you come before the Lord, it is best that you kneel
cuz all you ever do lie, cheat and steal
them Jordan’s that you cop, yo them joints, ain’t real
all that booty on gram, yo them joints, ain’t real
I see a lot of fakes, I don’t see too many reals
how you claiming that you poor, but you always got a meal
Hook
can’t trust what you say, cuz you never keep it real
you should really step away, you don’t ever keep it real
every message, you convey
it don’t ever hit for real
no rest, for the wicked, false idols, we appeal
got my sword and my shield
it may force you to yield
I am, the Man of Steel
solid copy in the field
I am here to keep it real
even if I am revealed
I’m here to keep it real
even if it ain’t ideal
Verse 2
I’m still a virgin
and that’s because, I love God
I want the truth
wanna live or die, for a cause
I understand, that we all, young and dumb
if we ain’t walking down the aisle, I ain’t giving you my heart
it’s not worth it
just like, slinging dope, on the block
gang bangin’
trap housin’
or the sound, of blickie pops
too many marines get, Left 4 Dead
K.I.A.
we move like special forces
green beret
Pre-Chorus 2
I don’t really got a type, and I’m just, being, real
no relationship games, cuz I only want the real
when you come before the Lord, it is best that you kneel
cuz all you ever do lie, cheat and steal
Supreme t-shirts, yo them joints
ain’t real
flexin’ on gram, that shit, ain’t real
I see a lot of fakes, I don’t see too many reals
why you taking bus routes, when you got your own wheels
Hook
can’t trust what you say, cuz you never keep it real
you should really step away, you don’t ever keep it real
every message, you convey, it don’t ever hit for real
no rest, for the wicked, false idols, we appeal
got my sword and my shield
it may force you to yield
I am, the Man of Steel
solid copy in the field
I’m here to keep it real
even if I am revealed
I’m here to keep it real
even if it ain’t ideal
Verse 3
I’ve said what I must, and I know
I can’t take to it back
I don’t give a fuck, about no mothafuckin’
Christian rap
trynna box me in, like an Amazon package
not just
another artist
in a saturated market
refuse to be enslaved, by your
religious views
or your ignorant, close-minded, misguided, social cues
that type of hip hop, that’s caught
on tape recording
murder without warning
the very next morning
Pre-Chorus 3
the music that you bump, yo that shit ain’t real
you made it all up, you convinced, that it’s real
when you come before the Lord, it is best that you kneel
cuz all you ever do lie, cheat and steal
all that Gucci, that you wear, yo that shit, ain’t real
diamond rings and gold chains, yo that shit, ain’t real
I see a lot of fakes, I don’t see too many reals
why you wearing nice J’s, you prefer high heels
Hook
can’t trust what you say, cuz you never keep it real
you should really step away, you don’t ever keep it real
every message, you convey, it don’t ever hit for real
no rest, for the wicked, false idols, we appeal
got my sword and my shield
it may force, you to yield
I am, the Man of Steel
solid copy, in the field
I’m here to keep it real
even if I am revealed
I’m here to keep it real
even if it ain’t ideal
