[00:00:00] The Realness (真实) - Babyfather

[00:00:00] Further ahead

[00:00:01] You know them ones

[00:00:02] I know a grown man said

[00:00:03] Don't waste time doing the crime if it's already been done you know

[00:00:06] Don't waste time doing the crime if it's already been done

[00:00:09] Do you know how real that is

[00:00:12] The feds know these things you know

[00:00:13] You got to be smarter than that

[00:00:15] That's why I'm here you know

[00:00:16] Not just to play tunes

[00:00:17] Like but to show man certain things init

[00:00:19] You can rise up and be better like

[00:00:21] You can like you know like advance yourself init

[00:00:23] You ain't gotta be doing these like f**ked and these little things no more

[00:00:27] Like you can move up and move onwards

[00:00:28] You know them ones

[00:00:30] I'm chatting too much here

[00:00:31] Let me just play that f**king tune

[00:00:49] For me and many others on the streets

[00:00:50] Friendship was based on who's there for you

[00:00:52] And that includes having your boy's back no matter what

[00:00:56] I personally saw it as a way of showing love and keeping it real

[00:01:00] For most peeps on the street

[00:01:02] When someone had your back it created a silent special bond

[00:01:05] For some of us that bond was like a life insurance policy

[00:01:09] And even though we became tight

[00:01:10] I still wasn't a hundred percent sure they had my back til their end

[00:01:14] There's too many fake hard suge knights nowadays

[00:01:17] I couldn't tell who was real and who wasn't

[00:01:19] When it came down to it

[00:01:21] I realized that the only person

[00:01:23] I could depend on one hundred percent and be was me

[00:01:27] Trust is a luxury I can't afford

[00:01:29] Betrayal is something I can't ignore

[00:01:37] If I'm honest

[00:01:39] I didn't even know what the full meaning of keeping it real was anymore

[00:01:42] I assumed it meant

[00:01:43] Always backing a manor's beef

[00:01:45] Never snitch

[00:01:46] Never touch a brother's wifey

[00:01:47] And never snake knife

[00:01:50] I couldn't understand why most of the mans in my party

[00:01:52] Found it so hard to maintain these simple guidelines

[00:01:56] We never had hold our back

[00:01:58] They away us when we be found

[00:02:01] At this time

[00:02:02] I found a lot of realness had come from

[00:02:03] Listening to one NY rapper called cormega

[00:02:07] His tunes had me in the zone

[00:02:09] Especially when I had spliff to hand

[00:02:11] My favourite album at this time had to be

[00:02:13] Cormega the realness

[00:02:14] I could listen to that album from the first track all the way through

[00:02:18] The interlude alone had me pulling out the track over and over

[00:02:23] Yo what you doing niggas

[00:02:26] You know what I'm saying

[00:02:27] You gotta know what to expect

[00:02:31] Cause everybody's your man when things is getting right

[00:02:33] Uh but what about when things are getting wrong

[00:02:36] Then then in the first verse you killed it

[00:02:39] Ask yourself

[00:02:40] Am I your man

[00:02:41] Would I die for you or by your hand

[00:02:43] If I go broke would you divide your gram

[00:02:46] Put me in your plans

[00:02:48] Hold me down in the heat with my sh*t jams

[00:02:50] And then the chorus says it all

[00:02:53] If I died would you cry

[00:02:59] Hey nah

[00:02:59] This time for tunes

[00:03:00] You know you wanna rise up on the f**king Markus Garvey

[00:03:04] You know them ones

[00:03:05] It's one of them type of tunes

[00:03:12] You know them ones
