What's Real

Cold cock the system Patrol cars and prisons The mowed lawns of bigots Them folks all complicit It's no time for crickets Or robots with gimmicks Who botox their lyrics, their lines just fade, Mine get engraved in the mind like the faith in divine 'Cause I'm taking my time when I pray To the microphone gods, when the rifle smoke rise Our devices don't lie, this a slice of warm pie 'Merkin style, when ISIS don't fly We still got terror when the lights'll roll by So the truth we tell to soften the burn of the madness Salute who fell to coffin, the urn or the casket Coupe Deville our confidence certainly lacking Remove the veil take off the tourniquet fastened To the last leg of our self-doubt, we fly now Fists to the sky and a battle cry, we mobbed out Arms out, ready for the world Cut another gem, a machete to the pearl, uh Arms out, ready for the world We gon' let it burn they till get what they deserve The war don't stop till warden drops the chains The robocops, the chokeholds got to change It's bonafide they photoshopped the game Made dodo Trump the locos' tyrant king Real rappers we write, yuh Real fathers don't leave us Real prophets don't hate, nah Try to pass off malice as the gospel of Jesus Real leaders don't lie Real protectors don't shoot, nah Out of fear of the dark Put another black body at the bottom of a tomb, huh The war don't stop till warden drops the chains The robocops, the chokeholds got to change It's bonafide they photoshopped the game Made dodo Trump the locos' tyrant king Real talk real soldiers seek peace Real love is not a yoke Real talk real men don't push When any part of a woman says 'no' Real patriots stand For more than a flag, for their countrymen's back Real power ain't a badge Or a real soft spot on the government's lap The war don't stop till warden drops the chains The robocops, the chokeholds got to change It's bonafide they photoshopped the game Made dodo Trump the locos' tyrant king
