I’m as real as I can be….

I don’t know whom you can compare to me

But I’m as real as I can be….

I’m not a product of the streets, born to hardcore parents in a hardcore house on a hardcore hill

With tales of guns, booze and drugs to spill

But I’m as real as I can be…

I’ve lived in the ghetto, walked in the ghetto even fought and got caught in the ghetto

But I moved from the ghetto, was soothed from the ghetto and lived to tell my tales from the ghetto

But I’m still as real as I can be…

I didn’t graduate from the streets to the game to doin’ time at the “house” aka “college”

I went to school and graduated and went to school again and graduated and went to school again and graduated and graduated again

I graduated from college times three!

But I’m as real as I can be…

I made bad decisions in my life but not the kind that give you gunshot wounds and tattoos

I don’t have 2 baby’s mommas and a house full of kids that I don’t know like a zoo

But I’m as real as I can be…

I don’t hit women and beat them till they bleed

I don’t curse at them and have them mentally on their knees

I don’t belittle them to the point of saying “Baby Please!”

But I’m as real as I can be…

I’m as real as I can be

Can’t you see

I’m as real as I can be

I’ve got to be me
