(Wale)
Right now it's like you givin me the same song and dance like i'm a f**in' idiot
You want to see me some ghetto, ignorant sh**, that's what y'all promote
That's the only thing y'all promote from n***as is ghetto, ignorant sh**
Respect me dawg, like respect the f**in' culture right now man!
[Hook: Trxmp]
When you this high up, the fall hurt
Everybody got they eyes on who fall first
Reality Check
Can't tell if God mad at me yet
[Hook: Keyoney]
Reality check, n***as is gettin shot down
Reality check, gotta watch out for cops now
Reality check, dreams don't come easy
Reality check, success is what please me
[Verse 1: Trxmp]
I heard ignorance is bliss, they must think a n***a stupid
Tryna keep us flippin bricks, so we don't figure what the truth is
Truth is in the music man, proof up on the news
Loot got n***as shootin' past hoops, cash rules
I'm attached too, I must admit it
But my message feelin' past due, I think it's time to send it
All these people say I've changed, damn, I don't feel a difference
Swear I've always had this game plan, never had a wish-list
Squares watch Gangland and swear that they some crips, swear that they some bloods
Yup, leave me to this money
Y'all can have the clubs, y'all can have the blocks
Y'all can have the buzz
It feel awesome to be up, I ain't off that
Actin' like a thug, till you get yo' jaw cracked
Askin for a front, you might never get a call back
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Keyoney]
Growin' up as a black man
Young, with a few plans
Keepin' up with all the drama I hear in the newsstands
Zimmerman been let off
Guess murder in the streets gone get slept on
Wonderin why n***as holdin' guns, and runnin' the block
Givin n***as another reason to shoot at the cops
Guess it's times like these, damn, we wish we had Pac
But he ain't here no more, all we can do is mourn
And pray to God and hope that days like these ain't in store
Just tryna make it and provide for the family
Even my mom don't seem to understand me
But she'll soon see, it's gone all pay off
Music is my way out, ima give it my all
Ima stand tall, continue to ball
I remain co*ky, I ain't showin' my flaws
Black and educated, I do not plan to fall
No not at all
[Hook]
[Singing: Rasheed]
They don't know, life ain't the same no more
They don't know, life ain't the same no more
[Trxmp]
Demand a difference, that's the transition
Past wishin', past average a** livin'
Reality Check, I'm cashin' in, this a matter of debt
