Humor - Real To You lyrics

[Intro] This is life n***a, this is life You're born where you're born You die where you die (This is life) They try and mould your mind They try and mould your thoughts They try to stop your grind Get your foot in the door (Get your foot in the door) [Verse 1] My point of view's shifted, from that younger kid n***as is as n***as does, just tryna be the sh** I wonder if the way were acting is somehow inherent Some tendencies I see in me, I see em in my parents I see em in my friends, I see em in my peers I mean collectively we share the same urges Tryna be something important while facing the worlds burdens When sh** be burning these herders be getting nervous They want you as a sheep, they want you in their service Got all that money there, won't let these n***as earn it If you born in privilege it don't mean you deserve it There's children that live n die before they can get a word in There's people that live n die before they can see their purpose Born, struggled, died. That sh** ain't even worth it It still happens though, each n every day I'm tryna make a path, I'm tryna find a way [Hook] This is life n***a, this is life You're born where you're born You die where you die That's the only sh** that's certain n***a Don't let the sh** they say deter you n***a They try and mould your mind They try and mould your thoughts They try to stop your grind Get your foot in the door, get your foot in the door You gotta find what's real to you before they choose it for ya [Verse 2] Go on Am I allowed to speak ma mind n***a? Flow on I'll never bow down to no n***a, no one I'm about to touchdown on some real sh**, go long Give me a sec to get this thing lit, get ma crow on Was tryna live right for so long and got it so wrong Especially when right and wrong are often relative Laws and morals ain't the same like family and relatives Can you not see discrepancies? How can some upper-cla** politicians in parliament hope to know what's best for me And yet they claim to do n***as sit n drink themselves to d**h, tobacco too But marijuana stays taboo It's a joke, don't be so naive to believe that you can change sh** with a vote They're gonna engineer events the way they wanna do The only hope you've got is stay on top and profit too [Hook] [Verse 3] When I make my money will it make a difference? Will I make a difference when I make my money Will the system insist that my convictions go unreported Cos I'll give these kids the volition to do something important Do something more than Be a n***a, the type they want An individual of no specific consequence Till consequently our percentages are down to none They're down to deal, they're down shoot They're down to stab and rob I'm only out for dosh, don't wanna have a boss Living my life building another n***as balance up I balance my thoughts, I make decisions weighted on scales Dictated by the currency I'm in favour of bills What else? When money's power n everyone knows Can't make a change if you're so broke that you can't change your clothes Your at the mercy of the system that they stick you in Another number in the list of their constituents [Hook]
