Jozeemo - On the Real lyrics

[E. Ness] From the depths of the sea back to the block Loch Ness motherf**er representing up top Nuts in your mouth, sort of like a gumdrop Drum roll, be-de-de-de-de-de-de, I'm gun ho My story unfolds right before your eyes n***as swallow my career then read between the lines You never will appreciate the vast amount of time That I put into my craft, it's more than beats and rhymes Confined to a cell with a pen and a pad To discipline the potential I already had Took a crack at this rap sh**, go hard for once Too many 40 bottles of beer, too many blunts As the days turn to weeks, weeks turn to months Been sentenced, you knew what I was doing from the jump Fell into a slump, climb my way up out the hole Damn, Devil tryna steal my soul [Hook: DJ scratches] "Now I'm the average n***a in the street life God I try to beat trife odds" "New sh** is real" "Now I'm the average n***a in the street life God I try to beat trife odds" [Rapper Big Pooh] Yo, I hear the rumors, they grow like tumors But when you have humor, you learn to laugh it off n***as cast you off then they toss you to the side I'm a backseat driver just here for the ride Been sick and tired, Rapper been denied But I don't care now cause I ain't scared of hard work Read a couple books, my vocabulary stretched I think it's time now to put my seeds in the dirt Do a track here, do a track there 'til I attract the attention of my rapping peers Got a few cheers, heard a few boos Gather up some tools, time to make a move Time to make news, put my name on the scene Get a little fame, make a lot of cream I'm living the dream while you all mad I just took advantage of the chances that I had [Hook: DJ scratches] "Now I'm the average n***a in the street life God I try to beat trife odds" "New sh** is real" "The only way I can escape is by vocals" "I try to beat trife odds" "Nevertheless" "Now I'm the average n***a in the street life God I try to beat trife odds" "Nevertheless" "The only way I can escape is by vocals" [Jozeemo] Jo' Mo co*k back, squeeze at your cantaloupe That you can quote, plus I'm fresh off the banana boat Violence is in my DNA, what can I say? And the game is the only thing I know, I came to play Damn right I got dreams... "But dreams don't keep the lights on" f** being wrong, damn right I got fiends Yeah I rap but the hood in me, I should've been dead But I'm still here, God must've seen some good in me I ain't getting the respect that you should give me So my attitude like "I wish a n***a would", hear me? Drugs, I done sold that, blocks, I controlled that Ballers wanna shine? Nice chain! Let me hold that Usually I hold back but now you need to learn about me Those who've never hit the bottom shouldn't be concerned about me Non-believer number two, it's your turn to doubt me Fire to the fuel, how the f** you 'posed to burn without me? [Hook: DJ scratches] "Now I'm the average n***a in the street life God I try to beat trife odds" "New sh** is real" "The only way I can escape is by vocals" "I try to beat trife odds" "Nevertheless" "Now I'm the average n***a in the street life God I try to beat trife odds" "Nevertheless" "The only way I can escape is by vocals"
