[Verse 1]
Cause I'm too real, we too cold, ya run for the hills when the truth's told
Like the kick on the mag on a four-four we too much grip for your hands to hold
All cock back with no ammo all the hype from a band that's so-so
In every language I speak it's a no-no, so live it up now because you gone tomorrow
All of a sudden you're something and the people love it from front row to offstage and now you need no introduction
You was frontin' and bluffin' and now you givin' out instructions?
Nothing for nothing but I don't really think I want it
Give me the music make me jump and thrash
Give me the music make we rock inna the dance
I need the music make it sound like that
[Chorus]
Ain't never play it on the radio
But we still banging on our stereo
We keep it real no matter where we go, oh-o, oh-o oh-o oh-o
[Verse 2]
Too hood, too avenue, see through you my point of view
You just did what we already do and the game don't make 'em like they used to
Too many fakes y'all lost control, y'all sold out for the fools gold
Is it too much street or heart and soul or is it too much color for your rock and roll?
All of a sudden you suckin' and the people love it from front row to offstage and now you need no introduction
You was frontin' and bluffin' and now you givin' out instructions?
Nothing for nothing but I don't really think I want this
Give me the music make me jump and thrash
Give me the music make we rock inna the dance
I need the music make it sound like that
[Chorus]
Ain't never play it on the radio
But we still banging on our stereo
We keep it real no matter where we go, oh-o, oh-o oh-o oh-o
Why don't they play it on the radio?
So turn it up on your stereo
Still bringing love everywhere we go
[Bridge]
Too many fakes, y'all lost control
And y'all sold out for the fool's gold
Too many fakes, y'all lost control, y'all lost control, y'all lost control
And y'all sold for the fool's gold, y'all sold out for the fool's gold
Too many fakes, y'all lost control, y'all lost control, y'all lost control
And y'all sold out for the fool's gold
[Chorus]
Ain't never play it on the radio
But we still banging on our stereo
We keep it real no matter where we go, oh-o, oh-o oh-o oh-o
Why don't they play it on the radio?
So turn it up on your stereo
Still bringing love everywhere we go
