Uh food and liquor
Yeah my man said he wanted somethin' real
Real real real real yeah
Somethin' he could recognize somethin' he could feel
Feel feel feel feel
Baby girl said she was in the mood for somethin' real
Real real real real
Somethin' that could make her move
Somethin' she could feel feel feel feel
Lust sometimes can override trust
She said that's why she gave it up
My man said blood spilled out of everything he touched
He crushed everything he crushed
Ruined everything he loved he just wanted to rush
Blamed it on the times bein' rough
Doin' dirt with the devil chasin' after the dust
Make a fuss if it's them but we hush if it's us
That's why my Momma said she wanted somethin' real
Real real real real
Somethin' she could be proud of somethin' she could feel
Feel feel feel feel
She said they so used to not havin' nuttin' real
Real real real real
That they don't know how to act
They don't know how to feel feel feel feel
Life ain't meant to come around twice
(Yeah)
That's why I gotta get it right
They said I got it honest now I gotta give it life
But sleep on it that's why God give you night
I mean I had a dream that God gave me flight
Too fly for my own good so God gave me plight
If I wake up in the mornin' now I gotta give 'em sight
Make 'em see break 'em free ain't a G sho' you right
The game is not to give 'em nuttin' real
Real real real real
Nothin' that they could use nuttin' that they could feel
Feel feel feel feel
Give 'em a bunch of lies and teach 'em that it's real
Real real real real
So that's all that they know
That's all that they could
Feel feel feel feel
Struggle another sign that God love you
'Cause on the low bein' po' make you humble
Keep they names in my rhymes
To try and keep 'em out of trouble
'Cause bein' po' also teach you how to hustle
All they want is some shoes or some rims for their Bubble
Now that I got my own I can hit them with a couple
Couple my homies so they ain't got no reason to cuff you
That's my plan if I can on the man up above you
That's why I gotta give 'em somethin' real
Real real real real
Somethin' they could recognize somethin' they could feel
Feel feel feel feel
To my homies on the block I gotta give 'em somethin' real
Real real real real
Somethin' that'll make 'em stop
Somethin' they can feel feel feel feel
Yo effin' f are real really real yeah
Know what it is woo
Baby girl said she was in the mood for somethin' real
(So real so real)
Real real real real
Let's go
So real so real so real so real
So real so real so real so real
So real so real so real
