I'm Real What Are You
Paul Wall Lyrics

Big City Terrorizer, say it, say it now.
Introduction to the song.

Hello World, Sup everybody, I'm speaking to all the ppl out there.
Addressing the audience.

There comes a time to where, you have to know, who you are,
Importance of self-awareness.

(Dipset, Skoal game)
Random shoutout to Dipset and Skoal game.

And what you are, to overcome things
Self-awareness helps to overcome challenges.

Oh and by the way, My name is K-L C
Introduction of the singer, K-L C.

The drum ma, ya heard me?
K-L C's other title, the Drum Ma.

But this not about me, This is about the PPl's Champ
Acknowledging that the song is about Paul Wall.

From Houston Texas, My Partner, Paul Wall,
Identifying Paul Wall's location and partnership with K-L C.

Tell em who you are!
Prompting Paul Wall to introduce himself.

[Chorus]
Beginning of the chorus.

I'm a real motherfucker what are you? (what are you)
Paul Wall is a genuine person and questions if others are too.

I'm gettin' money stayin' true, chasin' paper what it do,
Paul Wall is making money in an honest way and asks what others are doing.

I'm grindin' like a rotor, and I'm postin' like a sticky note
Paul Wall is working hard and making his presence known.

Stackin' up that paper, pockets fatter than a dukie rope
Paul Wall has a lot of money.

Boys lookin' sick, But that docta got that antidote,
Others are envious of Paul Wall's success but he can give them advice.

Hatin' cause they broke suckers, fake as a 30 spoke.
Haters are jealous of Paul Wall even though they don't have anything.

I'm watchin the stock quotes, I'm real as a pac,
Paul Wall is serious about his finances and is a genuine person.

But these clowns be actin' funny, like a knock knock joke,
Others are acting foolish and trying to be funny.

They cramp on my style, cause I got money and power,
Others are jealous of Paul Wall because of his wealth and influence.

My paper long as the nile, so how them hatas like me now?
Paul Wall's money is plentiful and he's curious how his haters feel now.

Them bustas on the prow so I'm ten tokes down,
Others are looking for trouble but Paul Wall is staying calm.

I'm puttin' all y'all to sleep so put on your night gown,
Paul Wall is going to make others irrelevant.

Some tattoos and a ice grill don't make you real,
Outward appearances don't indicate whether someone is genuine.

These cats be actin' frauder than a 4 dollar bill.
Others are acting phony and fake.

[Chorus]
End of the chorus.

I'm a gun holdin', blunt smokin', paper chasin', ladie banger,
Paul Wall is a man's man but also has a softer side.

Fly boy somethin' like a aviator,ha yeah,
Paul Wall is stylish and fashionable.

I'm you girls super hero, her caped crusader,
Paul Wall is like a superhero for his female fans.

So go head and hate me cause I hate a hater.
Paul Wall doesn't mind being hated by others who are hateful themselves.

It take money to make money I said,
Money is needed to make more money.

So you gotta have dough to make bread where I'm From,
In Paul Wall's location, money is necessary to survive.

I ain't chew get it, I stay true with it,
Paul Wall is honest and genuine.

Barbed wire flow, don't get tangled in it,
Paul Wall's style is unique but don't get caught up in it.

Real nigga yes, all about the hustle,
Paul Wall is a genuine person and hard worker.

Till I get that call from god sayin,"I want you"
Paul Wall will continue working hard until his death.

I been trough it, I past struggle, thats right,
Paul Wall has experienced struggles and overcome them.

Every day I in the street trying to complete a mad puzzle
Paul Wall faces many challenges daily.

White coupe, pedal mashed down,
Paul Wall's car is likely a white coupe.

Seats soft like I sat on hash brownies,
The interior is comfortable.

I get money, don't ask me, ask 'round,
Paul Wall has a lot of money and others can verify this.

Big money like I work downtown.
Paul Wall has a lot of money like someone who works in a big city.

[Chorus]
Beginning of the chorus.

I'm one hundred, but them other boys frontin',
Paul Wall is a genuine person, unlike others who are being fake.

They just sideline commentating, we call it dumb fuckin',
Others are just talking without really doing anything.

They sweet as apple pie, as they spreadin' them lies,
Others are being phony and deceitful.

They smile up in your face but so quick to jump F
Others pretend to be friends but turn against you quickly.

You swear they so cool, but they turn like doorknobs,
Others seem friendly but will betray anyone.

They say they hardcore, but they friendlier than spongebob,
Others are trying to be tough but are actually harmless.

I'm tryin' to stay afloat, stayin' up on my note,
Paul Wall is trying to maintain his success.

So that Highness is what I tote, affordin' the overcoat.
Paul Wall is associated with wealth and power.

I roll with a platoon that'll put you in your tomb,
Paul Wall's crew is powerful and could kill someone.

And then mark up your body like Mr. Cartoon,
After someone's death, they will be marked up with tattoos.

Its real in these streets when you chasin' that guap,
The streets are tough when trying to make money.

Cause that hatin' around the clock, will it ever stop,
There's always going to be people who are hateful.

Probably not.
It's unlikely that the hate will stop.

[Chorus]
End of the chorus.
