Ab Imo Pectore
its from the old latin sentence:
Ab Imo Pectore and means "From the deepest of your heart"
His rap is full of wisdom,
wise words about war, sadness
Love, and not many times but sometimes partying,
He has seen bad things happen in his life
And rap saved his life, and gave a meaning to it all...
Got to Be Real
A.I.P. Lyrics

Gangster whitewalls tv antenna in the back
You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, digging the scene
TV antenna in the back
You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, digging the scene
With a gangster lean ooh ooh ooh
Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Gangster whitewalls tv antenna in the back
You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, digging the scene
With a gangster lean
With a gangster lean
With a gangster lean
The lyrics of A.I.P.'s Got to Be Real are about being grateful for what you have in life. The first verse talks about not having a fancy car, specifically a Cadillac with all its luxurious features such as gangster whitewalls and a TV antenna in the back, but it assures the listener that even if they don't have a car at all, they can still stand tall and be thankful for what they do have. The second verse repeats this message, emphasizing that you don't need material possessions to feel good about yourself.
The chorus of the song reinforces the message again, with the lyrics "Just be thankful for what you've got/Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, digging the scene/With a gangster lean." This line encourages the listener to appreciate even the small things in life, like having sunshine and a good attitude, even if they can't afford diamonds or a sunroof.
Overall, the song is meant to be uplifting and empowering, reminding the listener that they can still be happy and confident even if they're not wealthy or materialistic.
