Common - Real lyrics

You n***as ain't real I think you need to stop pretending These n***as ain't ill We know the deal n***as ain't on Here today and the next you're gone Cuz you n***as ain't real And we know the deal Yeah we know the deal Eighty seven strip walker I'm a sh** talker f** all night your dependent what I'm offer Had a white girl I tossed her Black girl I lost her Break bread with the stones I'm the rock of Gibraltar Salt of the earth for what it's worth yo from birth I was first with a verse live n***as don't rehearse Wear the prophets on the shirt Yeah yeah that's the creed I can give a f** if it's real or a weave I tell you when you look good and keep it right there I'm as important to the Chi as my n***a Mike Air Jordan threes on the feet as we breeze down lakeshore These are the days that we bake more to make more I been living in the moment lately It's like the love and the hate seem to motivate me Lady lady, that body crazy You been working out of this thing if it's not tell me if it's really real You n***as ain't real I think you need to stop pretending These n***as ain't ill We know the deal n***as ain't on Here today and the next you're gone Cuz you n***as ain't real And we know the deal Yeah we know the deal I'm the sole controller Opposite of sober Flow from the south side to south Angola Mami wanna strip then yeah I'mma poke her And go all in and stretch it out like yoga I'm flexin' s**in' oiled up like Texan Survivor soldier a child is destined A star is born in a Chicago storm The name is Common I'm anything but the norm, uh Six in the mornin' something warm informing I'm sweatin' like I'm performing on tour in, uh Y'all f**in' with this like p**n Put ya fists up cuz you know I ride on New planes and plateaus Made it through the black hole I rhyme in a timeless capsule I rap fo', n***as in the barber shops and broads that's hot I run the town I'm a f**in juggernaut This sh** is real You n***as ain't real I think you need to stop pretending These n***as ain't ill We know the deal n***as ain't on Here today and the next you're gone Cuz you n***as ain't real And we know the deal You n***as ain't real I think you need to stop pretending These n***as ain't ill We know the deal n***as ain't on Here today and the next you're gone Cuz you n***as ain't real And we know the deal Yeah we know the deal
