Keepin' it Real Lyrics

God my witness when I tell you why I do it

Is it the money, or the fame, or women you think I'm screwin'

Is it the acclaim that I'm chasing or acceptance I'm pursuing

As the reasoning behind all of the words I'm always spewing

I say it's not, but don't be quick to say it ain't a motive

I never had the riches, rappers saying that they loaded

They unhappy with they pockets, kinda hard to go unnoticed

A constructed fantasy, that turns to lyrics you be quoting

All them captions that you wrote, all the bread that y'all be posting

Frontin' like you really got it, when at home your pockets folding

Cut the cap and live ya life, be grateful that you was chosen

Regardless of what you rocking, no matter how cool your clothes is

Cuz what others got, ain't gon ever touch ya life

You could only live it once, even if I do say it twice

Don't let ya pride get in the way, cuz you payin' a bigger price

No matter how low that you go, you'll always reach your paradise

Whatever I say, man I mean it

The dimming light always gets brighter, dog I promise I seen it

Things get worse before they better, you just gotta believe it

My life ain't perfect, we all scarred, but all that time does the healing

And

I know I'm young, I may not be the wisest

I know that my opinion can be skewed and kinda biased

But I'm speaking from experience, I ain't tryna be ya guidance

If you catch me on a good day, then you'll know that I'm the highest

The finest, It's Dre

Try and define it

A unique motherfucka, my words could incite a riot

Cuz eye spits the truth,

You could see in my iris

Or eye lids

Cuz when I close my eyes, I dream in silence

I'm grateful for it all, even to my fans

I've only got a handful, but from there it will expand

Cuz I'm a man, even though I carry bigger plans

Ima 'SNAP' like it's the 90s, got the power in my hands

The 'Endgame' that I play, I'ma make it attainable

House of cards that I was dealt, really made me unbreakable, unshakable

I'm a rock, I hold it down while I'm capable

When I fly, I'll really take flight, I'm so inspirational

Damn, but when it comes to women I couldn't call it

Could be ten toes to the ground, but the right girl gon' catch me fallin'

I'm a lover boy at heart, when I'm focused I be all in

Painting pictures of our future, when I pop we gon be ballin'

Uh, before I leave just know I got to all my points

I'm making music for the music, cuz lately I been a voice

If you came from where I come from, it ain't really a choice

Forever Summer 'tis the season when you bumpin' to my joints
