Real

Let me be real with you
I'm contemplating what a deal would do
Independent artists are the ones that truly feel the truth
And everything's available so I could never feel for you
For signing to a label when they only ever steal from you

This isn't bad for us
These deals they keep on ratting us
I swear that you can do it if you stick with it and back it up
The ground is shaking, watch me push and get my platform up
But you could never make it, you don't want it bad enough

And that's okay for me
But don't come on the field to play with me
This is for the ones that gonna make it work and make-believe
It's very obvious that you don't have it what it takes to be
The greatest version of the person that you truly chase to be

It's understandable, the game is full of cannibals
If you can't stand a bite, you should be pulling out your hands and all
You gotta balance between vulnerable and untouched
Cause otherwise you'll either end up plugged up or unplugged

I realise what I'm saying, I can stand for it
I see the game I'm playin', got a plan for it
No more questions, cause you know what the answer is
I keep supplyin' product and I keep on getting fans for it

It's back and forth, got my forecasts backing me
I get your emails, but you don't fit my strategy
Cause y'all be gone way before you see the last of me
So I can't even let you in to pick the scraps up after me

You gotta learn to walk before you run from us
And half o' y'all are nobodies but you front it up
The weakest link is bound to snap, this is hip hop
And half o' y'all can't even rap, see your shit flop

But if you can than I just wanna see you win
For all you care you could be everything if you just put it in
I'm talking work I'm talking effort, so please just take a hint
It's all within your own perspective, it's where it's always been

(All of this is real)
