[Mysonne] Since you confused let me break down a real n***a Listen: There's a difference from my house and the field, n***a A real n***a? Don't conceal how he feel n***a A real n***a might destroy to rebuild, n***a Us real n***as, 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 n***a'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 n***a about havin' problems and solvin' Not waitin' around, hopin' and starving You find a way to get your own f**ing apartment Makin' somethin' from nothin' - that's f**ing 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 f**in' environment You grindin', you ain't sittin' around shuckin' and jivin' You fight or be prey, to the hoodlums and tyrants k** or be k**ed, 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, sh** you can't ignore Somtimes war is necessary, stand or fall! My real n***a talk seems bogus? A real n***a 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 n***a actually be Now, actually see - we fightin' for the same cause I say the same thing about them stupid lame who*es 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 sh** is to wage war! So i'mma just keep fightin' the fight Write truth, bringin' lyin' a** rappers to light Only a few of us left that have the insight So all of us Autobots Unite - f** hip-hop! f** hip-hop! I love hip-hop! But f** hip-hop But I love hip-hop
