E-Phoenix - Keepin' it real

All the time here we go yeah
We be keeping it real yeah
We be keeping it real
On the mic keep it tight yeah
We be keeping it real yeah
We be keeping it real my nigga
Do you remember days, when all the niggas in your hood
Where sitting in the corner
With a pen and a piece of paper
Getting on some punchlines, and hitting on some rhymes
Getting ready for a lyrical war, out on a cypher
The street battles, and the rap battles, solidified your cred as a real nigga or a maggot G
I'm on some reminiscing
These niggas lost the plot
They fantasize about these trap niggas what a shock
Dont get me wrong
I got mad respect for all you trapsters
Its struggle and, we all wanna be a hustler
I keep it real, when I'm dropping rhymes on the mic
Cause I know that when I'm gone
I leave a legacy behind me
Like the Shadies the Dres, and the Nas'
Dropping verses like a drunk Jew
In a party yeah
I keep it tight
Check the rhyme
Like the Tribe
And my lines
Like a fire
In the dark
I'm the light listen
Go yeah
We be keeping it real yeah
We be keeping it real yeah
On the mic keep it tight yeah
We be keeping it real yeah
We be keeping it real
On a verse keep it smooth nigga
We be keeping it real yeah
We be keeping it real yeah
On the mic keep it tight nigga
We be keeping it real uh
We be keeping it real my nigga
On the mic on the mic
We be keepin it real
On the mic we be keepin it real yeah
On the mic on the mic
We be keepin it real
On the mic we be keepin it real yeah
Its prime time
You know its prime time
On the mic man, you know I gotta fight back
Gone are the days, when you dropped a song
Diss a nigga with a verse
Some time down the line
You're rap battling with the nigga
The crowd watching
Throwing punches
And they laughing and they clapping
Survival of the fittest
If they fed you beef you ate that shit
You kept it real
You felt the beat
A conscious ish
You spitting here
I mean it G
The realist shit
You kept it real
Man listen
I'm the heir to this hip hop game
That's what I am
I never die rise from ash listen
I'm the heir to this rap game
They've come and they failed
Competition so unnecessary
Go yeah
We be keeping it real yeah
We be keeping it real yeah
On the mic keep it tight yeah
We be keeping it real yeah
We be keeping it real
On a verse keep it smooth nigga
We be keeping it real yeah
We be keeping it real yeah
On the mic keep it tight yeah
We be keeping it real uh
We be keeping it real my nigga
On the mic on the mic
We be keepin it real
On the mic keepin it real yeah
On the mic on the mic
We be keepin it real
On the mic we be keepin it real yeah
You know what it is man
Straight from the ghetto
Its how it is
True hip hop namin
Its how it is man
Yow we just keepin it real
Behind the mic
Doing dumb shit namin
But hey
It ain't on me to judge namin
We out
