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!
