Jahi - The Realness lyrics

Motivation. Music Living just enough for the city it's all in me Never pretend to be nothing more than an emcee 10 years and counting raised in project housing Made it out of that now you see me giving back Teaching at a school not far from my grannies house Plug in the mic and I still turn the party out Canging like leaves on trees planning for my seeds Balance out my wants and needs my soul bleeds H-i-p h-o-p forever start a new chapter - still getting it better Thankful for the lessons that got me to this space and time Seen the lowest lows but now my life is on the incline 2 words: I shine This is the Realness I want everybody to feel it It's the Realness And yo it comes from the spirit It's the Realness I don't talk it, yo, I live it And it's the Realness, yeah It's the Real- (Never late, never fake) It's the Realness I want everybody feel it It's the Realness, yo, it comes from my Spirit like... Don't look for the hook again to the very end sharp like the autumn wind This story never ends My catalog is a treasure chest filled with j**els Vibes to make you dance but wisdom you can use On the daily, parables like Mary's baby I'm not a video game so please don't try to play me I just here to add texture into the landscape Use my two hands and mind to put food on my plate It's never too late my muse hits me at midnight Seen too many wrongs the conscious side is where I write And don't be afraid of that word it's just awareness Never careless in my speech, thank God I found this beat Let me pause for the DJ on the techniques Ok I'm back like I never left it, child of the star and crescent Yep you guessed it, Jahi in his zone again, home again But this time I'm staying new bricks I'm laying Displaying my pa**ion inside the rhythm, obeying Higher laws, higher cause you'll never find A fresher style word to Lou Rawls from school halls To clubs when I come I show my love And make timeless music like the dude with the glove Who's watching from above with the other greats Putting this on vinyl - you can dig inside your crates And spin it and blend it, head nodding that's what I intended Pay attention don't miss it cause I Keep it perfect timing Even when the DJ flips it, yo I feel so terrific Music Is inspiring Motivation music so I'm bringing the fire in That's why I love Hip Hop cause it's self reliance Pious in my speaking, arms stretched and reaching Write an album in a weekend put it out on Monday 7 day 7 styles from Sunday to Sunday Call this my mellow flow, bask in my inner glow Hit the target like an archer with his arrow Bullseye Set the limits beyond the sky Walk with head high, never saying goodbye Don't want no more children to die Everybody unify This is the Realness I want everybody to feel it It's the Realness And yo it comes from my spirit It's the Realness I don't talk it, yo, I live it It's the Realness, yeah It's the Realness I want everybody to feel it It's the Realness And yo it comes from my spirit, like
