Been Real Lyrics by Ryan Cali

Back To The Basics

2020

(Intro)
Yah
I been real
I been real
I been real
I been real
Ey
Yaw

(Verse 1)
I show em how a track sound
When they high up, let me bring em back down
Did my time, I be coming from the background (yeah)
Check one, two, I wanna rap now (yah)
I’m on fire, when you hear me go tell a dog (tell em)
Only real shit pumping in my catalog (yaah)
Shooting through the game like a fucking cannonball (bang)
You wanna pose, do your thing, I ain’t mad at all (nah)
I just can’t have your shit pumping in my car (ahha)
Murder every beat boy like a sinner ya (yah)
Middle finger to the state, I’m against the law (fuck еm)
News all fake, gotta always stay alarmed (yеah)
He got the finger on the trigger with a shaking arm (don’t shoot)
Put your gun down, I don’t mean no harm

(Chorus)
I been real
Motherfuck staying in school
I swear
Only hot shit I send you
Inhale
All the drama I been through
Exhale
Don’t ask what the king do
One day
I might leave all of this
Hungry
Big chunks, I swallow it
Show-biss
All hype, don't follow it
Homies
Friendship, gotta honor it
Yah
Always show love, respect, be positive

(Verse 2)
Walking out the house it’s a great day (yah)
So excited like a kid on his play day (ha)
But I can’t understand what you say say (say say)
Man these rainbow colors don’t amaze me
I be lazy, chilling with my baby
You be plans making for the earth taken
My sound be the sound that keep the ground shaking (yah)
I been born for this, I be craving
Craving for music, they say you the truest
But remember, I don’t really listen to those douches
You should never get to close if I don’t know ya (ey)
I ain’t that cool, I got big paranoia
Cruising through the streets man you know California (you know)
AC on cause it’s hot like the devil’s on ya

(Chorus)
I been real
Motherfuck staying in school
I swear
Only hot shit I send you (I swear)
Inhale
All the drama I been through
Exhale
Don’t ask what the king do
One day
I might leave all of this
Hungry
Big chunks, I swallow it
Show-biss
All hype, don't follow it
Homies
Friendship, gotta honor it
Always show love, respect, be tolerant

(Verse 3)
As we step on the battleship (ey)
We be smoking green kush for the smell of it (haha)
On board, only space for my relatives (believe that)
I got wild thoughts, help me try to battle it (help me)
Hard to reach em when they blinded by the science (ah)
That killer instinct, fucking hungry as lions
Pick my people up, yeah I see em slow dying (ey)
Cops don’t care man they love that profiling (come on)
But fuck it, I got it, I gotta stay real (stay real)
Fuck the bottom, I got it, you gotta go chill (go chill)
Can’t be messing around, I gotta stay hot (stay hot)
I be working hip hop like it’s my day job (day job)
No mainstream boy I’m on a new channel
Call my boy up, boy I got a new banger

(Chorus)
I been real
Motherfuck staying in school
I swear
Only hot shit I send you (I swear)
Inhale
All the drama I been through
Exhale
Don’t ask what the king do
One day
I might leave all of this (ey)
Hungry
Big chunks, I swallow it (ey)
Show-biss
All hype, don't follow it (ey)
Homies
Friendship, gotta honor it
Yah
