This Time It's Real

Yes sir

Ladies and gentlemen

You are now tuned in

Always wanted love but never had the real thing baby

Never knew that it was in this image that he made me

I was wildin' out and tryna act all crazy

Fightin' an epidemic rage with them crack babies

East Bay product of some East Bay grease

So I had to stay with that East Bay crease

Feel the sin turn me to an East Bay beast

I was doin' the most but I was gettin' the least

Nowadays I'm just thankful for the Lord's peace

Get it from the Father then we give it to the streets

That's why you hear us kickin' this truth over these beats

You wanna be the first you gotta become the least

Ain't gotta be a rapper or athlete to make it out

Place your faith in the Father, go 'head and faith it out

I wanna see you do more than aim for the stars

I wanna see you put Christ first and aim for Mars

Oh, it's real

I wanna say this time

It's so real

This time, it's real

Oh it's real

This time, so real

Uh, I swear it's realer than it's ever been

But I ain't say I never seen

Know it, know lean

Tryna get you to the medicine

Eight years deep and I'm feelin' like a veteran

But hey, I learn daily and so many turn shady

I'm prayin' for they soul hopin' they don't burn baby

I know the body gon' stay under attack

That's why I'm dwellin' in this shelter dippin' low in the 'Lac

I be feelin' like I'm slippin', slidin' straight to the back

Gotta pause and take a breath because I'm prone to react

Ever since I lost pops I been feelin' it bad

I been chillin' in the pad while they chasin' a bag

This time it's been real, the pain and the progress

And how it took my eyes off objects

How we give anything for one convo

'Cause in the blink of an eye it's all gone so

Oh, it's real

I wanna say this time

It's so real
