Adan Bean:
The past is the prologue, presently in this verse
I never sold dope, but I sold merch
The only hope I ever had for my soul thirst
Was a Palestinian Jew so I’m here to extol worth
I’m on a pole perched, positioned to rev engines and pistons
Andre Drummond something just to make the people listen
These dudes that be rappin’ don’t be asking opinion
Bringing feelings to a fact fight might be a bad decision
Sipping Odwalla listening to Tame Impala
Vasco da Gama with the period and comma
Hyphen and semicolon, Set sail with the syntax
Explore a metaphor with the wind at my back
I’ve been ill with the verbs and the homonyms
Back when they was calling muslims 'mohammedans'
I put this on Momma n‘em
Alex called some friends
I’m here on my best behavior
Big Rube said, “Right onto the real and death to the fakers”
Real Ones* was written by Adan Bean & Alex Faith.
Real Ones* was produced by Wontel.
Alex Faith released Real Ones* on Sat Sep 17 2016.
Alex said in an interview with DJ Wade-O that this song is walking the line between brotherly love and calling fellow rappers out about their foolishness. Some rappers are jumping on cultural bandwagons but are not being “real” about how they normally act.
The music video is a collage of animated .gif’s.
So this dude @redrev hit me up talking about “I’m going to send you this, if it’s cool, we will put it out.” — Alex Faith (@alexfaithATL) September 8, 2016
