Real Talk
Ice-T D.V. alias Khryst Lyrics

Cut a nigga off I don't need you
I have no problem leaving someone behind in order to pursue my own success.

I'ma star player remember times I was sittin' on the bleachers
I have come a long way from being a spectator on the sidelines to being the main attraction on the field.

Sleepin' eight deep one apartment One bedroom couch full I was sleepin' on the carpet
I used to live in cramped and uncomfortable housing conditions with multiple people sharing one space.

I don't make up no sephora I was tryna to hustle cutting grass I was knocking at the door
I didn't have many opportunities handed to me, so I had to make money by cutting grass and knocking on doors to sell my services.

Now a nigga on Now a young nigga want more
I have achieved a certain level of success, but I am not satisfied and always strive for more.

I ain't get a call when I was poor Hey, please I ain't gettin' down on my knees Tellin' me you gone then leave
People who weren't present or supportive of me during my struggles do not deserve my attention or loyalty now that I am successful.

Took a long break but I'm back Now a young nigga finna drop on all of they neck
I may have taken a break, but now I'm coming back stronger than ever and making a statement with my music.

Hands up when I walk in It's amazing doing shows pickin' up back ends
I am commanding a presence when I arrive at shows and making a lot of money from performing.

Drip even when I miss match Running all over this beat like I run a four flat Yea
I have a unique and stylish look that I maintain even when I'm not perfectly put together, and I rap with a lot of energy and speed.

I just dropped a ep but they ain't hear me out drop another one I was rappin' bout hard times Had a hard time thinkin' I'll go number one
Even though my last release didn't get the attention I deserved, I'm already focused on my next project and know that I have the ability to make a hit.

Man just wait 'til i'm on Flyin' up top like a drone Feelin' like i'm bout to blow
I have a strong feeling that I am on the verge of reaching even greater levels of success and recognition.

Remember them times Rocked the same clothes back to school but I know that you peep the glow
I may have had to wear the same clothes repeatedly in the past, but now I have a unique style that stands out and people are noticing.

Seen niggas switch up Niggas that I used to call gang Now i'm ridin' in my own lane
People who I once considered close friends have changed and gone down a different path, and now I am forging ahead on my own.

Feel fresh when I walk into the bank Drip so hard I don't care what another nigga think Yea, show me my opponent
I have a lot of confidence in my personal style and financial success, and am not worried about what anyone else thinks. I am ready to take on any competition.

Got money for days get whatever I want wanted Think in the future but live in the moment
I have the financial means to acquire anything I desire, but I also remember to enjoy the present and not just focus on the future.

Lil' dreco spit bars and you know he ain't wrote it Repeating my lyrics it's me that you quoted
Other rappers may try to copy my style, but they will never be able to match my originality and authenticity.

Money got babies my pockets be swollen Forgive me I keep gettin' tempted like Odis
I have a lot of money, but it can be a temptation and a burden. I reference a character named Odis who was known for being tempted by wealth and corrupting influences.

Just killed the rap game so I sent my condolence No rats around me I don't deal with no rodent
I have achieved a high level of success in the world of rap and acknowledge the competition it took to get there. I don't associate with anyone who is untrustworthy or disloyal.

Smoke out that pack so you know that I'm loaded Throwin' them shots hope you know that I noticed
I am wealthy and enjoy smoking. I also am aware of any negative comments or behavior directed towards me.

Young nigga they say in my city i'm goated
I have gained a lot of respect and admiration from others in my hometown or city.

Took a long time but I found me Young nigga i'm the hardest in the county I was walkin' out the rain it was cloudy Had to watch those niggas that was 'round me
It took me a while to discover my true talents and become successful, but now I am the best in my area. I also had to be wary of the company I kept in order to get where I am now.
