R.E.A.L. Lyrics by T.J. Ellison

Personal

2017

[Intro]
If you're dealing with me
There's only one way I keep it
[Hook] 2x
R.E.A.L.!, is how I keep it
It is what It is there's no secret
R.E.A.L.!, inside and out
Being phony ain't what I'm about
There's no doubt about it
[Verse 1]
If You come correct with respect I'll stick out my neck
Serve and protect, in a sec cause a good heart beats in my peck
But if you defect to, another crew you, will get checked its true
BS is not what I do
When I make a new friend, I don't expect them to spoil me
All I want is loyalty like royalty
Getting double cross made my blood boil G
Their pants will be soiled when I see a victory
Cause on top is not where they picture me
But they don't pick where I get to be which why stick to thee
Original plan of succeeding, while repping the team I'm leading
I'm putting in work, the end result
Is worth the tears, the sweat, and all the bleeding
That I've done when I win in the end
I'll stand tall like a champion
My whole camp will be in, on the celebration
My destination will become my current location
[Hook] 2x
R.E.A.L.!, is how I keep it
It is what It is there's no secret
R.E.A.L.!, inside and out
Being phony ain't what I'm about
There's no doubt about it
[Verse 2]
I'm not an addict, but all my actions are automatic
Including putting in work and I just can't break that habit
If someone acts like a jerk I gotta let 'em have it
They'll learn these muscles ain't flaccid, if an ass kicking's added
That depends on how they acted, I never did hold back with
My emotions, While doing this rap shit cause I'm an open, book
Inside my story of every chance that I, took
Made me into the man people look at now
I kept growing, that's how it happened
I ain't tapping out, my goals to win this bout
Prove whoever counted me out wrong
Show I ain't the weakest link, I be strong and stay strong
I plan to last a very long time
Stay on my grind
Not fall on my behind
I gotta keep it real every single night
[Hook] 2x
R.E.A.L.!, is how I keep it
It is what It is there's no secret
R.E.A.L.!, inside and out
Being phony ain't what I'm about
There's no doubt about it
