Dr. Jam - Keep it Real (Single Version) lyrics

[Intro] (n***a, gotta keep my sh** real) Remix, ugh, yeah Putting down like this, like this [Verse 1] You know I gotta keep it on, like light but I'm heavy n***a, tell your hoe to stay away from the Chevy I make you n***as pray everyday like Bone When you see me touch a motherf**ing microphone Straight out off the motherf**ing streets of Compton like E Made my first G before adding on the MC White people hate me like Johnnie Cochran Yelling f** the police since n***as been pop locking I'm So So Def like Jermaine You b**hes wanna see me f** it up, but can't take the pain You n***as bragging like Big Poppa While you're living in a f**ing hut like Jabba Ugh, like Rick, I'm knocking n***as out the box I'll make your a** wanna have the big one like Redd Foxx So f** what you're going through You whack n***as this sh**'s for you Keeps it real [Hook] Now, who keeps it real? (You keeps it real) Ren in the cut, for real n***as what n***as out faking like they got sk**s Rolling around with their rats in their floss mobiles And that's real [Bridge] Knock them out the box Ren, knock the out Ren [Verse 2] Living room packed, laid back on the flow Fools can't see me on the live with a Lando I'm running fools straight to the dirt While my man Train talking on the phone the evil curt n***as waste gas driving down the same streets And hood rats wishing for the pa**enger seats Flag them down, like they're flagging down to get a taxi Too good to ride a bus, tricking is a must Another day kicking back, the Scientist is hard at work Thinking how to get paid, kicking back in the shade Or call Will and Temple where my homie down by Zeenie With the bald head, it's too hot for the beanie Sitting on the porch, n***as run the stop sign Hookers sell their bodies around the way ain't hard to find Right in the corner of McDonald's Parking Lot Peeping out their hair cause that spot is hot [Hook] Now, who keeps it real? (You keeps it real) Ren in the cut, for real n***as what n***as out faking like they got sk**s Rolling around with their rats in their floss mobiles And that's real [Bridge] Knock them out the box Ren, knock the out Ren [Break] n***a, gotta keep my sh** real (x5) Keep my sh** real [Verse 3] Randy up the street cutting up the fresh fade And Compton P.D. around the corner about to raid The yellow Helicopter hanging around like a Gnat And hood rats yelling out a car where the party at While Robbin and Train go and get a deuce And n***as around the way don't give a f** about a gang truce But I gotta lot of love for my people And like they ain't crying, n***as just keep dying I won't be like most n***as and just come to shoot my video in Compton Then disappear for a year We're making fools like that, shake the spot One for the treble, jack your a** in the Parking Lot Cause handkerchief headed n***as come around faking Bragging about that money they be making Boot licking, bu*t dancing, and n***as just better chill Before I tell them how I feel, and that's real [Hook] Now, who keeps it real? (You keeps it real) Ren in the cut, for real n***as what n***as out faking like they got sk**s Rolling around with their rats in their floss mobiles And that's real [Bridge] Knock them out the box Ren, knock the out Ren [Break] n***a, gotta keep my sh** real (x5) Keep my sh** real
