Realness



Always be a original and not a copy
Some will try to imitate
So let's raise the standards of limits
Not caring of the opinions of others
Staring in the mirror, we are all flawed
No one is perfect, we all have scars
Living life one day at a time
Fighting for a new tomorrow
Inhale the good, exhale the bad
Rather be a leader than a follower
Walking on the path untaken
Striving to always be the best version
The society we live in, people just give off that illusion
We all wear a mask hiding the real truth
Building up brick walls to avoid
Some people are as fake as it gets
Two faced, double standard hypocrites
Backstabbing, pathological liars
I spit game putting out these fires
Only good vibes in my corner
Rather keep it real and be a loner
People use and abuse the power
Just here to raise the stakes of the kingdom of tower
Lifting off the fronts people give
You only have one life to live
Be a voice of reason
Everyone changes with the season
Bougie bitches don't understand
I'm not here to scold or reprimand
Not here for the glory or fame
We are all not the same
Some people just accept the openness
Others are too full of closed off  mindfulness
Keeping it 100, realness in overdrive
Speaking truth is where I thrive
Come to terms of this reality
Originality is the best dressed up formality
Self love always comes first
Too many people are here just for the thirst
Craving the attention of unwanted fools
I don't have time to waste on idiotic tools
Real shit is what I'm elaborating
Honest words just evaporating
Raw and open to the core
Dejavu, I have been here before
Look in the mirror, tell me what you see
Reflections of your so called version of me
At the end of the day, I know who I am
Knowing you and I are never the same
Close the doors of this chapter
See you in the next life, the thereafter
Be real, be you, don't be a version
Don't mix up this equation
Original is the new antidote
Putting the mic down on the verses spoke
Real talk, I know who I am, who are you?
