I'm never comin with the fly guy, get high Image of a rye dry white lie Givin us a closed eye, why die Before I hit the heavens, yo I'm keepin it real I got to get it while I'm on Earth, re-birth My ancestors were here first, dispersed By what you heard with each verse I reversed The image of a ghetto, yo Keepin it real No stereotypical, nothin is typical Comin like a God or a mythical figure, my visual's Somethin like a magical mystical force of residuals On the mic I'm flier than digital, more like a ??? I drop it like a Amville, stand still Sit back and watch a man build and chill As I proceed the plan will slam, kill Anybody aimin, yo I'm keepin it real (Real!) (Keep it real!) Keepin it real (Keep it real!) (Real!)
