Since you confused let me break down a real nigga Listen: There's a difference from my house and the field, nigga A real nigga? Don't conceal how he feel nigga A real nigga might destroy to rebuild, nigga
Us real niggas, we been mis-represented by Ignorant, low life clowns just getting high Just sittin' by with they pants saggin' spittin' lies It's sad - The kids is the ones that's victimized
See in the eyes of a man that's blind we like crime But you don't understand the grind You don't understand when a man planning to fly Get locked down cause his man told the damned-est lies
Now his family cryin' and he jammed inside 6 by 12, for 7 damn Julys When you survive that, it enhance your pride You can overcome Hell, and they can't deny
Now you back up in the streets, confused and mortified Moral's is nothing, the dudes that glorified Fabricate the truth — same dudes you saw inside Rattin' and Snitchin' — the image is all a lie
Now, you go and try to find you a job But they ain't lookin' for a brother wit' a criminal charge Now you sittin' in the room arguin' wit' your broad She telling you (Go and get a job!) You try to tell her (It's hard!)
So she tell you (You don't raise the money here by tomorrow? I'm sorry, you gon' have to go live wit'cha Ma) But your Mom's got 6 people up in her house, 2 Beds Nigga's barely got room on the couch
So whatchu gon' do? (go to mommy?) Squeak like a mouse, or Be a Man, hit the streets and go and figure it out
See a real nigga about havin' problems and solvin' Not waitin' around, hopin' and starving
You find a way to get your own fucking apartment Makin' somethin' from nothin' - that's fucking evolving! When you go up in the projects, the stuff you involved in Drugs, poverty, emotional hardships
You just tryin' to get out of this fuckin' environment You grindin', you ain't sittin' around shuckin' and jivin' You fight or be prey, to the hoodlums and tyrants Kill or be killed, so you forced into violence
Of course - you define this as being a Neanderthal I call it survival of the fittest - I'm a man at war Sometimes you can't walk away, shit you can't ignore Somtimes war is necessary, stand or fall!
My real nigga talk seems bogus? A real nigga ain't gotta say that he real as long as he knows it If he know the other rapper's deceive the kid's is like Soil when you plantin' the seeds
And he knows what cats hear, and the raps they believe Then you gotta tell 'em who a real nigga actually be Now, actually see - we fightin' for the same cause I say the same thing about them stupid lame whores
I hate the game, but I know it ain't gon' change cause It's makin' so much money, it's gon' make more We on different elevators but the same floor Only way to change this shit is to wage war!
So i'mma just keep fightin' the fight Write truth, bringin' lyin' ass rappers to light Only a few of us left that have the insight So all of us Autobots Unite - Fuck hip-hop!
