[Verse]
The problem these days/
The phrase real is overplayed/
And now it's a cliché/
Good people pay/
Never gettin'/
The recognition and praise/
They've worked their a** off for/
Or lost everything to try and attain/
Cause word came through the grapevine/
Stirred an absurd rumor/
Turned stigma/
Now it's a dogma/
Without a lick of proof/
All against/
Someone they never knew/
Here's the truth/
Sayin you're real these days/
Is sayin'/
You're a fake/
Snake/
Copycat/
And Rat/
Without speaking/
The realest gives everything they have/
Even after bein' stabbed in the back/
So many times/
How many?/
They've lost track/
Damn/
They don't wait for someone to ask/
They just act/
It's who they are/
You'd understand if you knew their past/
People didn't have a clue I was a brainiac/
Whose words can strike ya/
Like a/
Diamondback/
Naw they knew/
Their lack of compa**ion/
Made 'em scoff and laugh/
At my tact/
That's fine/
I'll use my other tactics/
Mitchell's wit is sharper than a tack Jack/
I don't have family, friends or a pack/
It's just this whippersnapper/
And I learned from the last ones/
Who sh** on me/
All I need/
To succeed/
Is brevity/
Astounding/
What?/
How I get these words through my teeth/
While keepin' a flow/
And my tone unique/
Stayin' composed as I speak/
Over a beat/
Made by yours truly/
So versatile with my style/
I did what I had to do/
Remained docile/
The way I was repaid/
I will no longer stand single file/
No more beguiling/
You cannot defile/
This entity/
Put it on my D.A.D./
I'm a good person/
Always have been/
Will be/
For eternity
