Real
Madlib Lyrics

Remember everybody ain't loyal
Don't trust anyone blindly because not everyone is loyal.

You soft as gelatin, sick of telling them, nigga show 'em
You're too weak, and I'm tired of telling you to man up and show some strength.

It's coka in the pot, nigga drop it and let it boil
The cocaine is cooking in the pot - let it boil and get ready to sell.

Goofy niggas make me nervous, ain't serve 'em if I ain't know 'em
I don't trust strangers who act stupid because they make me feel uneasy and I won't sell to them unless I trust them.

Eastside, sleeping in my dope house clothes
I come from the eastside and I spend my nights sleeping in the same clothes I sell drugs in.

Run down pair of Jordans and some dirty Girbauds
I wear old, worn-out clothes and shoes because I'd rather use my money to buy drugs than clothing.

Sucker coming with a short, he get extorted, exposed
Anyone who tries to cheat me by offering less money than what they owe me will face consequences.

Nigga stand on my own two balls, my dick and ten toes
I have the courage to face anything and everything life throws at me without running away.

Straight to the tippy top
I'm determined to reach the highest level of success.

Hear this nigga spitting it, whether I got a hit or not
My rapping skills are exceptional and I can deliver quality rhymes even without commercial success.

I hit it with the whip, they notice it when they hit the rock
My customers appreciate the quality of the cocaine I sell, and they can tell the difference when they use it.

I'm just a cocaina chemist
I'm skilled at producing high-quality cocaine with precision and care.

Cooking, chopping and cutting, you'll die if I push a button
I'm an expert at making cocaine, and if I wanted to harm anyone, I could easily do so without being caught.

Niggas heard of me, now all of a sudden they back to thugging
People know who I am now and some are afraid of me, but others act tough just to impress me.

If I never sell a record might catch me hot water juggin'
If I don't make money from my music, I might resort to selling drugs to make ends meet.

The D.A. want me gone, say I'm detrimental to the public
The District Attorney wants me to go to jail or leave town because they think I'm dangerous for society.

Took his daughter, put this dick in her butt
As revenge, I had sex with the D.A.'s daughter just to hurt him.

And said "how you love it, bitch?"
I taunted the D.A. by asking if he liked what I did to his daughter.

Cause all the real niggas in jail or deep in the soil
The truly tough and loyal people I know are either dead or in prison.

Dancing with the devil or eating fish with the Lord
You're either doing evil things or doing good deeds in life.

Gotta spit it how I live it, I beat the street and report, nigga
I have to be truthful and honest in my music because I rap about my real experiences on the streets.

The world ain't big enough for both of us
Either you or I have to leave town, there's not enough space for both of us to coexist.

Batter up, now you pussy niggas getting fucked
I'm ready to fight and fuck up anyone who dares to cross me or disrespect me.

Straight raw with infection, passing no prophylactic
I sell pure and uncut cocaine without diluting it with any other substances, and I don't use protection during sex.

Eastside, anybody killa, my niggas active
I'm from the eastside, and my friends are all killers who are always ready for action.

Smoking and breaking a 7 up in a 6-5-0
I'm smoking weed and rolling a joint while riding a Mercedes-Benz 650.

Babyface Gangsta I been slanging, banging since 9-4
I've been selling drugs and involved in gang activity since 1994.

I thought the world was at my feet when I linked up with Snow
I felt like I had reached the pinnacle of success when I collaborated with Snow for a music project.

But I refuse to be his flunkie, so we don't kick it no mo'
I didn't want to be subordinate to Snow, so we stopped hanging out.

Straight to the facts, nigga
I'm getting to the point and speaking the truth.

I looked up to you, put that on my momma
I respected Snow and admired him, and I swear on my mother's name to confirm the truth of this statement.

Signed a deal with you and never asked you for a dollar
I signed a music contract with Snow and never asked him for any money.

'Cause I was down with CTE, plus I was getting cheese
I was affiliated with CTE (a record label), and I was earning money from my music.

I played my fuck ass contract, what the lick read?
I fulfilled my contractual obligations even though the terms may have been unfavorable to me.

Thought I'd say this shit cause you ain't man enough to come discuss it
I'm speaking out about this issue because Snow doesn't have the courage to talk to me about it.

You wanna be Jay-Z? Nigga you just a fucking puppet
You want to be like Jay-Z, but you're just a follower who's being controlled by someone else.

Gary boys ain't 'bout talkin', so bitch I had to show ya
Gary boys (slang for gangsters from Gary, Indiana) don't just talk, they act, so I had to take action against Snow.

Don't make me expose you to those that don't know ya
Don't make me spread rumors and reveal your true character to people who don't know you.

Ran and said he the realest nigga in it, motherfucker check it
Snow claimed to be the toughest guy around, but I'm challenging anyone to verify if that's true.

But Ross had you scared to drop a diss record
Rick Ross made Snow afraid to release a diss track against me.

No nuts, got the whole team looking weak
Snow (or anyone who's afraid to act) makes their entire team look weak and powerless.

Guess that's why they ran up on you at the BET
That's probably the reason why you got jumped at the BET Awards.

L.A. red carpet, yeah, I was geeked
I was excited to walk on the red carpet at the Los Angeles (LA) event, probably a music award show.

Couldn't take security, so we ain't take a seat
I didn't feel safe enough to sit down, so I chose to stand instead.

I played the fool before, but yo a ho I'll never be
I may have made mistakes in the past, but I'll never be a coward or a pushover.

They searched that tour bus in Milwaukee, had that .44 with me
The police searched my tour bus in Milwaukee while I had a .44 caliber gun with me.

ESGN and to the end, I feed the killers
ESGN (my music label) and I are loyal to each other until the end, and I provide for my friends who are killers (gang members).

Pray the Lord'll take my breath before I be like this monkey nigga
I'd rather die than be a fake and cowardly person like some other rappers.

Just a whole lot of rapping, but no motherfucking action
Some rappers talk tough in their songs, but they never actually do anything in real life.

Seen Gucci by himself while we was 30 deep at Magic
I saw Gucci Mane by himself while my group of 30 people were at a club (Magic).

And you didn't bust a grape, was shook from the gate
You (Gucci Mane) didn't do anything to us, you were afraid of engaging in a fight from the beginning.

It make it seem to me the gangsta shit you kick be fake
Your gangster persona seems fake to me if you can't even fight when challenged.

Cause all my enemies, I put them suckers in their place
I always take revenge on anyone who tries to mess with me or my crew.

So take them shades up of your eyes, and look me in my fucking face
Stop hiding behind sunglasses and have the courage to confront me face to face.

Cause I'm a motherfucking rare breed
I'm one of a kind, a rare person who is different from others.

The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again
This is the last time you'll encounter someone this tough and evil.

Don't reproduce nothin' but evil seeds
I won't have children who will grow up to be like me - violent and criminal.

I'm rapping and trapping and still ducking these F-E-D's
I'm selling drugs and making music while avoiding the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation).

But BMF was sticking you for your fucking cheese
The Black Mafia Family (a notorious drug gang) was taking your (Gucci Mane's) money.

And yeah I know you sold the blow and whipped the hard
I know that you (Gucci Mane) sold cocaine and cooked crack.

But underneath the fucking money you's a fucking mark
Despite all the money and success you made, you're still a weak and easy target for violence.

Take heed to my statements, because they might throw you
Pay attention to what I'm saying because it might hurt you or expose your true character.

Don't make me expose you to those who don't know you
Don't force me to tell others about your secrets or the things you're trying to hide.

Bitch
This is just a derogatory term to refer to someone.

Snowman Killa
This is a nickname for myself, indicating that I'm a violent person who can take down anyone who tries to challenge me.
