Look, in the summer 6-0
A little margarita blend
so I slip slow
The type of nigga I am kind of skitzo
Never out of my element I let the fifth go
Shots in the club panic at the disco
She of that M D M A that's from frisco
Is that your bitch cause she
won't let my go wrist go
My techniques is just sex freaks
Skinny dipp with hot model bitches and lesbies
Imma put my tongue on they soul like a SB
But they don't know they scum to my soul they're just sexy
Imma play dumb play that role in the

And can I get a girl with real ass and TITS
Most Respect in the world to my

wanna kill niggas, I stand alone fuck that gang bang shit!
they Nintendo blowing niggas
Cause this game ain't shit
Is relevant that I am better than these 'veterans'
They are sleeping on me like I been
given them sedatives
Sometimes I wish I had better
friends and better peers
Cause I know when it to the ends they disappear...
[Kevin McCall]
Damn! Where they go? Where they go? Where they go?
Uhhh-See I'm doper than that shit
Pookie was on in new jack city
This is why I'm getting rich

I ain't like fifty

Call the the chain TLC all the ice make you chilly
I'm a pimp so you know I'm snatching your broad

Why you think I'm BUF? Blowin Up Fast
Call me left hook cause I be heavy on the gas
You would think I was a Spartan, 300 on the dash
Either that or a martian in a space aircraft
Cus when you see that whip that I have,
you be like "What the fuck was that?!"
The lyrics of Chris Brown's song Real Hip Hop focus on a variety of themes, including partying, sexual encounters, and the reality of the music industry. The opening lines describe a carefree summer vibe, with the singer indulging in a margarita. He then refers to himself as somewhat schizophrenic but always in the right element, a characterization that could refer to his natural ability to navigate the music industry. The reference to 'letting the fifth go' speaks to his readiness to defend himself if needed, while the reference to drugs such as MDMA highlights his lifestyle.
Brown continues to describe his sexual appetite, noting that he enjoys being with several women, describing them as 'model bitches and lesbies.' This reveal to his less-than-monogamous lifestyle is compounded by his reference to them as merely amusing distractions. In contrast, Brown shows respect to his real friends and fellow artists who also operate in the tough and often disingenuous music industry. He acknowledges that the business side and personal side are both challenging to navigate.
Kevin McCall contrastingly gives a detailed description of his life as a power player in the music industry, referring to his wealth, his ability to sell CDs, his pimping skills with the females, and his place in the streets. He also talks about his car and driving style, comparing it to a space aircraft, suggesting that his music is out of this world.
