[Verse 1]
3 days before my birthday, it’s beautiful outside
Watchin’ the sun rise, barely opening an eye
When the orange meets the yellow and the sun seems to dwell low
I hit you wit’ a Ruby, nice to meet you, and a hello
While I dream about the days up in Eastern Leyte, lately
Raised in San Lorenzo, but Tacloban City made me
Knew my life would change from the album mama gave
Magalona to this day, and the poetry that saved me
Like Uzumaki when I spiral with the skill
If you take away this body's just a vessel for the real
Destination to the moon like I’m Heinlein, in my mind
Watch the thoughts bloom, ‘cause if I rhyme, then I find
Writing monsoons from my bloodline, in due time
Owe it to my mother, lines deep like her smile lines
The womb too the moon every tune make you miss this
Summa cum lyricist, tell me who the realest is!
[Chorus]
Hit em with the realness one time, one two
I hit em with the realness one time, one two
Gotta hit em with the realness one time, one two
Come look into my eyes, I got a bird eyes view
Hit em with the realness one time, one two
I hit em with the realness one time, one two
Gotta hit em with the realness one time, one two
Come look into my eyes, I got a bird eyes view
[Chorus]
Hit em with the realness one time, one two
I hit em with the realness one time, one two
Gotta hit em with the realness one time, one two
Come look into my eyes, I got a bird eyes view
Hit em with the realness one time, one two
I hit em with the realness one time, one two
Gotta hit em with the realness one time, one two
Come look into my eyes, I got a bird eyes view
[Verse 2]
And when the sun go down, do you feel that moon?
I was that seed in the dark that no one thought would bloom
The places that I’m from, people gone too soon
So like a fly on the wall, I try to gauge my room
Like what you wake up for when the dawn breaks?
When everything's at stake, how you work with that mind-state?
You wish for a clean slate, I’d rather have a full crate
Of drum breaks and heart breaks
My one plate, can bear weight, that might make
You less of an enemy, we feed off the energy
M E before M C, i.e. you get all of me
Fools dream of fools gold, I won’t be a fool, so
Drown me in a pool of Atomic 79, “aye you,”
Can you remind how gold and ruby be divine?
But if the object is to shine, I wanna brighten up this mind
There's a picture bigger than this, emcees that’s better than me
If we talkin’ ‘bout the realest then it better be me! Aye!
[Chorus]
Hit em with the realness one time, one two
I hit em with the realness one time, one two
Gotta hit em with the realness one time, one two
Come look into my eyes, I got a bird eyes view
Hit em with the realness one time, one two
I hit em with the realness one time, one two
Gotta hit em with the realness one time, one two
Come look into my eyes, I got a bird eyes view
[Verse 3]
Mama look at me, this the person I become
Half beast, half girl with a sword for a tongue
Oddly, being this godly, take my prey and disembody
I gotta drop it and rock it to top its more than a hobby
But, ain’t no "deal" for "I" like I talked to a Shinigami
My rhymes are "death notes," how many beats I gotta body?
I’m a “mad villain,” I relapse and “do miles”
Y’all “Doomed MF’s” can’t mask your used styles
These idioms I’m sendin ‘em to idiots and simpletons
Don’t pity ‘em, I sentence ‘em, opinions, depending when
We role models so the stage like runways
We tryna run away to one way, the sun’s rays
Focus on our daughters and the way our son’s raised
Uh, Ruby Ibarra, I’ma make it one day, yuh...
Ruby Ibarra, I’ma make it one way, uh...
Yuh, Ruby Ibarra, I’ma make it some... day
