The Realness

Motivation. Music

Living just enough for the city it’s all in me
Never pretend to be nothing more than an emcee
10 years and counting raised in project housing
Made it out of that now you see me giving back
Teaching at a school not far from my grannies house
Plug in the mic and I still turn the party out
Canging like leaves on trees planning for my seeds
Balance out my wants and needs my soul bleeds
H-i-p h-o-p forever start a new chapter - still getting it better
Thankful for the lessons that got me to this space and time
Seen the lowest lows but now my life is on the incline
2 words: I shine

This is the Realness
I want everybody to feel it
It's the Realness
And yo it comes from the spirit
It's the Realness
I don't talk it, yo, I live it
And it's the Realness, yeah

It's the Real-
(Never late, never fake)
It's the Realness
I want everybody feel it
It's the Realness, yo, it comes from my Spirit like...

Don’t look for the hook again to the very end sharp like the autumn wind
This story never ends
My catalog is a treasure chest filled with jewels
Vibes to make you dance but wisdom you can use
On the daily, parables like Mary’s baby
I’m not a video game so please don’t try to play me
I just here to add texture into the landscape
Use my two hands and mind to put food on my plate
It’s never too late my muse hits me at midnight
Seen too many wrongs the conscious side is where I write
And don’t be afraid of that word it’s just awareness
Never careless in my speech, thank God I found this beat
Let me pause for the DJ on the techniques

Ok I’m back like I never left it, child of the star and crescent
Yep you guessed it, Jahi in his zone again, home again
But this time I’m staying new bricks I’m laying
Displaying my passion inside the rhythm, obeying
Higher laws, higher cause you’ll never find
A fresher style word to Lou Rawls from school halls
To clubs when I come I show my love
And make timeless music like the dude with the glove
Who’s watching from above with the other greats
Putting this on vinyl - you can dig inside your crates
And spin it and blend it, head nodding that’s what I intended
Pay attention don’t miss it cause I
Keep it perfect timing
Even when the DJ flips it, yo I feel so terrific
Music Is inspiring
Motivation music so I'm bringing the fire in
That’s why I love Hip Hop cause it’s self reliance
Pious in my speaking, arms stretched and reaching
Write an album in a weekend put it out on Monday
7 day 7 styles from Sunday to Sunday
Call this my mellow flow, bask in my inner glow
Hit the target like an archer with his arrow
Bullseye
Set the limits beyond the sky
Walk with head high, never saying goodbye
Don’t want no more children to die
Everybody unify

This is the Realness
I want everybody to feel it
It's the Realness
And yo it comes from my spirit
It's the Realness
I don't talk it, yo, I live it
It's the Realness, yeah

It's the Realness
I want everybody to feel it
It's the Realness
And yo it comes from my spirit, like
