Gotta Be Real Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, fooled once, fooled twice, call me old with the spice

Everything they tried to say didn't work, I'm still too nice

And they still gon' pipe, and I'm still gon' write

Cause no matter what, the people that love me and hate me are still gonna fight

Profanity's useless, I never intend to be rude in my music

These rappers today, feels like they curse up a storm, but that's just to be stupid

And that's how I feel, you're killing hip-hop and you're making it ill

One day you might prove me wrong, but just for tonight, I gotta be real

I gotta be real, I gotta be, gotta be, gotta be real

Y'all know the deal

Uh, give me the credit, all that I said in the past, man, I do not regret it

Just look at the method, thinking of battling me man I don't recommend it

Y'all so pathetic, it's crazy, your baby mom calling me baby

I don't wanna take her away from you and your kid, that just would be crazy

You know that I could if I wanted, she go to work for a hundred

Forgot I was speaking out loud, even worse, man, we out in the public

Sorry, I'm really not sorry, I'm on my Demi Lovato

I'm only in love with the money, in fact, I'm in love with the lotto

Light skin with a tan, no nigga just man

Good girl with a bad guy, I don't really understand

It really is what it is, I ain't never having kids

Sike, nah, I'm just playing, understand what I'm saying

Giving up like never, always fight through pressure

If you dream it, you can be it, gotta breathe it to achieve it

I am a hundred percent, realer than you would expect

Now after all that I said, I pretty much earned your respect

Fooled once, fooled twice, call me old with the spice

Everything they tried to say didn't work, I'm still too nice

And they still gon' pipe, and I'm still gon' write

Cause no matter what, the people that love me and hate me are still gonna fight

Profanity's useless, I never intend to be rude in my music

These rappers today, feels like they curse up a storm but that's just to be stupid

And that's how I feel

You're killin' hip hop, and you're making it ill

One day you might prove me wrong but just for tonight, I gotta be real

I gotta be real, I gotta be, gotta be, gotta be real

I gotta be real, I gotta be, gotta be, gotta be real

I gotta be real, I gotta be, gotta be, gotta be real

Y'all know the deal, I gotta be, gotta be, gotta be real

I gotta be real, I gotta be, gotta be, gotta be real

I gotta be real, I gotta be, gotta be, gotta be real

I gotta be real, I gotta be, gotta be, gotta be real

Y'all know the deal

Fooled once, fooled twice, call me old with the spice

Everything they tried to say didn't work, I'm still too nice

And they still goin' pipe, and I'm still goin' write

Cause no matter what, the people that love me and hate me are still gonna fight

Profanity's useless, I never intend to be rude in my music

These rappers today, feels like they curse up a storm

But that's just to be stupid, and that's how I feel

You're killin' hip hop, and you're making it ill

One day you might prove me wrong but just for tonight, I gotta be real

I gotta be real, I gotta be, gotta be, gotta be real

I gotta be real, I gotta be, gotta be, gotta be real

I gotta be real, I gotta be, gotta be, gotta be real

Y'all know the deal

I gotta be, gotta be, gotta be real
