Keep It Real... Represent
Kool Keith Lyrics

Yeah, rappers, spread your cheeks
Challenge other rappers to step up and show their true self, unafraid and vulnerable

Pull your panties down
Expose the hidden and untold parts of oneself

Take your wig off, let me see your bald head
Strip away any excess facade and reveal the true self

That's right, I got you on Kodak
Expose the truth and document it

Your pictures are goin out to Black Tail
Reveal the truth to the world without holding back

You're gonna be a star
By embracing and representing oneself truthfully, one can become a role model and inspiration

I heard you quit rap, your wife went back to porno flicks
Call out other rappers who abandoned their true self for commercial success and financial gain

You turned drag queen, a call girl doin tricks
Expose those who compromise their authenticity for temporary pleasure or attention

Nighttime prostitute kid, I'ma take your loot
Put those who exploit themselves and others for money and fame in their place

I heard you queer now like Boy George, blowin flutes
Expose those who are hypocritical or dishonest about their sexuality

With high heels, you stole your mom's birth control pills
Highlight those who are reckless or manipulative with their sexual behavior

You on some new stuff, I heard about that sex change
Acknowledge those who embrace their true self, even if it means going against societal norms

You got a vagina, your grandmother think it's strange
Address the disapproval and judgment faced by those who choose to be authentic and different

New eyeliner, you was flirtin with a gay designer
Celebrate those who embrace their individuality without fear of judgment or rejection

Your girl felt mines, and pulled off her Calvin Kleins
Expose the hypocrisy of those who condemn others while engaging in similar behavior

I saw Tampax, gonorrhea red stopsigns
Expose the dangerous and irresponsible sexual behavior that occurs when authenticity is compromised

I looked at her and said, "Mmm.. put your panties back on"
Call out the inappropriate behavior and demand respect for oneself and others

then jerked off to Foxy Brown, when her verse was on
Indulge in personal pleasures without compromising one's authenticity or values

I wanna stand back and bust nuts at your butts
Confront those who engage in unacceptable behavior and hold them accountable

Your girl is cocked up, with lollipops, doggie style
Expose the harmful and dangerous behavior that occurs when one is not true to oneself

I feel I'm dealin with plastic, watch these fake smiles
Acknowledge the false and superficial nature of those who are not authentic

I got utensils, back up kid, yo guard your rectum
Establish dominance and intimidate those who engage in harmful or deceitful behavior

I'm crazy out here, mental man, don't respect him
Embrace one's unique and sometimes unconventional nature without fear of judgment

You now in pain, your mom just had the abortion
Highlight the hurt and pain caused by those who are not true to themselves

Big head Boo, I put some roaches on your whole crew
Take down those who are harmful or dishonest without mercy

Have you scared with crack pipes, your family throwin doodoo
Expose the destructive, harmful, and disgusting behavior of those who are not true to themselves

Wear out your welcome, your little girl sex desires
Expose the predatory, inappropriate sexual behavior that occurs when one is not true to oneself

Have you handicapped, some friends of mine blow your tires
Expose the harmful and cruel behavior of those who are not true to themselves and show how they can be punished for it

Like Alfred Hitchcock, the ghost stands on your block
Haunt those who engage in harmful or deceitful behavior and make them realize the consequences of their actions

With nine mil's for drug addicts, I keep triggers cocked
Be prepared to defend oneself against those who are not true to themselves and engage in harmful behavior

You on some methane, my witchcraft is on your brain
Show how those who are not true to themselves can engage in dangerous and harmful behavior

Blow out your headpiece, and break out quick on the plane
Escape from those who are not true to themselves and refuse to acknowledge the harm they cause

Seal up your coffins, and celebrate with champagne
Show how those who are true to themselves can triumph over those who are not

Get my drink, Absolut, cranberry juice
Indulge in personal pleasures without compromising one's authenticity or values

Paranoid by rug spots, you see the purple moose
Show how those who are not true to themselves can be irrational and paranoid about small things

You smokin sherm or what? I paralyze that butt
Confront and immobilize those who are not true to themselves and engage in harmful behavior

Lick my d-head, you girls still pee in the bed
Expose the immature and inappropriate behavior of those who are not true to themselves

Yo take that wig off, yo punk let me see that caesar
Demand that those who are not true to themselves strip away their false persona and reveal their true self

I gets more wreck, than ? kids in baby's Pampers
Show how one can be powerful and dominant without compromising one's authenticity

Your wife is banned for leavin bras in my hampers
Expose the immaturity and inappropriateness of those who are not true to themselves

That heffer's ugly, plastic why you still bug me
Show how superficial and unappealing those who are not true to themselves can be

I'm on Melrose, Nicole's takin sun strolls
Celebrate the freedom and joy that comes with being true to oneself

Black girls with weaves, white girls with flat butts
Celebrate the diversity and individuality of all people, regardless of their race or appearance

With the name H-O-M-O spelled in your name
Expose the hypocrisy and self-hatred of those who are not true to themselves

You was a woman one time, man I know your game
Expose the deception and dishonesty of those who are not true to themselves and refuse to acknowledge the truth

With panties stuck up, sweat leakin in your crotch
Expose the discomfort and unpleasantness that comes with not being true to oneself

Collard greens you wet pig, you can't eat that much
Highlight the unsavory and unappetizing behavior of those who are not true to themselves

I shut you down, your whole face two o'clock
Confront and overpower those who are not true to themselves and engage in harmful behavior

Have your girl on sunset, in Denny's suckin cock
Expose the inappropriate and harmful behavior of those who are not true to themselves

With white pumps up, blonde wigs rottin in the trunks
Expose the vanity and superficiality of those who are not true to themselves

That homeless monkey, Barbie doll crystal junkie
Expose the dangerous and destructive lifestyle of those who are not true to themselves

I'm no joke and have respect for your kinfolks
Show how one can be powerful and dominant without being cruel or disrespectful

Tie your tubes back, my scope is on your asscrack
Threaten and intimidate those who are not true to themselves and refuse to acknowledge the harm they cause

You got paid for doodoo, that package rap was wack
Expose the poor quality and lack of integrity that comes with not being true to oneself

Nobody play the records
Show how those who are not true to themselves will not succeed or be respected in the long run

City's out, no Tuff, Tuff.. pity
Show how those who are not true to themselves will ultimately be punished and rejected by society

Represent what? My nuts
Emphasize the importance of being true to oneself and embracing one's own identity and authenticity
