[Intro 4x: Scratches by DJ Premier] "The real" [Verse 1] In this rap game, you ain't never been able You've been slapped in the face and kicked under the table And I don't even know how that feels I'm too quick to flex the steel upon you dead off your heels You's a millionaire, I'll say that's fair Without that hip-hop yeah, you's a motherf**ing square You pay n***as just to calm your fears But step aside when you see real n***as here And your man is a comedian Think I remember him upstate, his name was Zan He was intrigued by the d** and the steel But had no idea on what's really real [Hook] What's really real? What's really real? You don't know You don't know [Verse 2] Look at your bank account, now sit your a** down Look in your child's eyes, now sit your a** down Look at your record deal, now sit your a** down Cause you're really starting to look like a motherf**ing clown Want us to think that your big k**a k**a But you rich now, plus you soft as a pillow
Leave that real sh** for the n***as in the street Cause you just raw meat, and we just ready to eat I'll slap you with this barrel to see how you feel Cause you have no idea on what's really real [Hook] [Bridge] What's really real? [Verse 3] I [?] cats get baby n***as cradle capped s**as get back slapped, this is the real rap You's a pathetic cat, tryna wear your man's cap You ain't never seen or heard the sounds of a gun clap You's a coward with a pen, hide behind your song You's a b**h with baggy jeans, hide behind your thong You's gay without the Marvin, let's get it on Pull back to squeeze, n***a you're gone And I hope your man still hold you down like Alchemist But I know he won't, cause you straight up b**h Preem is real, Shug is real, the music's real Look at your man, now tell me, that n***a's real? [Hook x2] [Outro] Yeah what's really real? Big Shug I'm out baby
