They heard anon was fake?
Keep it real hmegirl, forever and a day
[verse one]
People in the hood, think i'm a little b**h
But every time i'm in the ghetto, they think i'm hood rich
No longer a starving artist, but never saying goodbye to ramen or kool aid
I'm faithful to myself, no need to act fake
That's what i realized in this game
They want you to change for the fame
People wanna say they wanna know the real me
But i've kept it real from the start, everything from my poetry and my art
I don't see the point of putting up a front
Cuz if you don't like my attitude, i can really give one
You can still catch me on the 115, 128, 130, 266, or 127 around the 562
So if you bump into me, throw up two and give me a deuce
Still running around at marisa's or tacos el sabracito
Walk around with sweat on my forehead, i'm from cali where the heat goes catchin a heat stroke
Hanging with my negroes and always expanding my friends' horizons, watch as he grows
Name one time i said i was from the ghetto
If you say i have, you're a liar-b**h hell no
I just keep it real because i grew up around alot of sh** as a kid
And it made me tough as sh**, hella stronger, so i don't take chances with my life, live longer
My friends wave at me in their shiny cars, while i'm at the green line tryin to travel kinda far
Instrumentals in my headphones, writing down hella bars
Chorus sample*
[verse two]
Talk to people around me and smile
Cuz you never know if you're gonna live for a long while
I love my life now, and I'm proud to say i'm no longer suicidal
I'm still the same person you knew in middle and high school
Still kick it with the same fools
The only difference, we grew up, and hardly break rules
No more getting into trouble with the law
Hey mom, i made the dean's list, so my grades aren't about to fall
Never gonna change who i really am, youre gonna have to live with it
I'm a changed person, no longer bothered with my mental sickness
I don't understand fake people; living their lives as a fable
I got skeletons in my closet, but that's the past, i'll lay it out on the table
But i have no regrets, i enjoyed it, i'm no longer shameful
All my failures turned into lessons
So sit around and enjoy this lyrical essence
Still weird
Still the same person after all these years
I always keep it real cuz people love the real me!
