Brother Ali - Real As Can Be lyrics

[Intro: Brother Ali - talking] So I finally get home from off tour Been gone since I can't even remember when I start waking up in my bed, not knowing where I'm at man The bad part is, I look over at my wife And like I don't know who this person is in my bed (Tell me is it real?) I'm bugging out (yeah!) [Verse: Brother Ali] If I wake up in a hotel room or on the bunk of a bus Middle of nowhere, sh** I'm completely fine But let me wake up in my crib, I get to flipping my wig Anywhere as long as it isn't mine I've been on the road seven out the past eight months Want to live, you got to give your loving fans what they want So, if they want "The Truth", you got to tell 'em it's here Ask Randy Hawkins man, I had a hell of a year My first headlining tour, my album in stores And I finally got to see what all that grinding been for To get down for the cause and catch a round of applause And to see the sh** I spit get printed out in The Source My heroes brought me on tour, I said +Allah U Akbar+ Thank you God, I don't know what else I could bother you for Got me out in California at this Wal-Mart store With the Lord Rakim, we chilling, shopping for drawers I blew my little video budget, I figured "f** it!" You only live once, you best to entertain your public I did freeze my nuts in D.C. on a Handycam On the White House lawn (hey!) rapping (Uncle Sam Goddamn) Shook hands with Busy Bee, I said his line from "Wild Style" "The Bee part be" and he smiled Saw him out in the Bay with Fred Hampton, Jr. Somebody made away with my God damn computer I caught a flight home on my 30th birthday A gift courtesy of my main man Mercy Needed to see my wife and Faheem in the worst way Ended up having both a blessed and a cursed day As I walked onstage to give 'em these raps My DJ's wife was on that bridge that collapsed She ended up breaking her back and getting roughed up But she already walking, you bad motherf**er As real as can be, I keep my people with me And that's BK, Drinkala and King Toki Rhymesayers Entertainment and what more can I say Except I got a brand new baby daughter on the way (Tell me is it real?)... (Come on) [x6] (Come on y'all!)
