Stay Real

In my past tense I had dreams of ballin' like Dayton
Till my time went like I woke up cuz they faded
And it seem like if you speak ya dreams get killed
Mane it's so crazy how they treat you when you speak real

But aye, sometimes it get hot thank God that I'm found
Can't ride the wave start sinking ain't no balance if I'm gone drown
But get hip and hooked on I'm talking before the chorus
Boy it get wild might last a while if they Marcus like Morris
Yea I like the bliss not trying to miss but I'm blessed I got to move faster
Aye he far from lame I got to up my game to a different degree no masters
Aye the game is old if yo J is cold you still might never get minutes
Aye them riches leaving no commas either feeling trapped like you did a sentence
But aye that's the game look at the fame see it peeking through the window
If yo tints low aye look ahead and keep the justice like Winslow
Aye it's super crazy ain't feel amazing you never payed so u sour
It's a Perfect time cuz that envy hiding it was peeping behind da counter
Can't fake it tho if you taking notes might move ahead when it's taking slow
Yea peep listen they sneak dissin' then tune it out what they saying low
Turn ya ear from them people too it won't ever matter if they said it
And they change fading ain't lasting either it's fake till u get true credit

If you follow mane and don't lead you might start buzzing
Might build you up but they take you down when they see you stand up for something
Don't matter if you preach or make deals
Most the world might put you out when they see that you stay real

Aye, it's sick mane how they treat you when you speak real
It's like everybody go against the grain as soon as they see mills
When they judge too it's like slugs too like shots is getting let loose
That pressure keep you from talking mane yeah something just like a noose
And you can't can't keep it, all the way a buck so you give lesser
And they not giving us purpose either can't give in if they give pressure
Tag along, and be bold abouit it peep help and start pulling through
If they dig the stock and they sending shots, it don't got to faze you like bulletproofs
Heavy heart they gave you clock but now you worried that time gone
No speaking you keeping secrets can't push back cuz that line lost
They all see it yo thoughts leaking they all peep like yo mind yo gone
Like it ain't up and you sewn up cuz that time faded like a time bomb
Aye, band ahead just like Terry don't let it get on top just like carries
Look around for that shine too until you find the light just like Mary
They gone fade away when that pain's away move on just like a new ladder
Let God work when that time hurt and let the moments pain just move past ya
