Real (feat. Dropout Kings)

Can't stop, won't stop
Can't stop, won't stop

Workin', know one thing for certain
I woke up this morning feelin' like a different person
My path is leadin' to progression, tryna get to perfect
Malcolm X, with the chopper, lookin' out the curtains, uh

It was each and every day and night
I had to fight and turn the fear into a source of might
The source of light inside my spirit looked like dynamite
I think I may, I think I might take 'em out of sight

I was the runt of the litter, now my fangs bigger
And my legs quicker
I had to jump into the pit and swing my elbows
Became the one who held the torch the day that hell froze
Burnin' till my name rang bells so

When it all comes down, will you give it up?
And if you do it, how the hell should I know?
Least I know how that feels, I'll be keepin' shit real
If you don't get dark, then you'll never glow
They told her to hold to the window
Least I know how that feels, I'll be keepin' shit real

They wanted me to break, wanted me to quit
Wanted me to die and be done with it
But I got my second wind
The real bill, I could never be a counterfeit

Look, make 'em listen now
Things be lookin' little different where I'm sittin' now
Never figured I'd end up in this position
At the same time feelin' like forever
I been spittin' out the same rhymes

Never take a back seat
Treat the session like a track meet
The way I'm laughin' at these haters who gon' catch me
Black cat, evolution of the black sheep
'Cause I've been goin', how it happened, don't ask me

Resurrected, redirected on a new scale
Kill the game, guess they'll have to write a new will
In the end I never lose, you know me too well
Go against me playa, you won't do well

When it all comes down, will you give it up?
And if you do it, how the hell should I know?
Least I know how that feels, I'll be keepin' shit real
If you don't get dark, then you'll never glow
They told her to hold to the window
Least I know how that feels, I'll be keepin' shit real

Ooh, yeah!
Everybody says I'm better off dead!
But what they really mean is life just a dream

When it all comes down, will you give it up?
And if you do it, how the hell should I know?
Least I know how that feels, I'll be keepin' shit real
If you don't get dark, then you'll never glow
They told her to hold to the window
Least I know how that feels, I'll be keepin' shit real
