HIP HOP
R.e.a.l.i.d.a.d. Lyrics

Come on everybody get on up
Encouragement to start physically moving and energizing oneself

'Cause you know we gots to get it crunk
We need to get excited and energized

L.e.j is in the spot tonight
The artist L.e.j is performing

'Cause I'mma make it feel alright (Make it feel alright)
Their performance will create a fun, enjoyable atmosphere

Come on baby just party with me
Let's have fun together

Let loose and set your body free
Allow yourself to move without inhibition

Leave your situations at the door
Forget about your problems and focus on enjoying yourself

So when you step inside jump on the floor
As soon as you enter, start dancing

Music's the odyssey
Music is an adventure

It's here for you, for me
Music is accessible to everyone

Just listen find the magic key
The key to enjoying music is being able to appreciate it

It's only gonna be about a matter of time
Eventually, you will start having fun

Before you get loose and start loose your mind
You will become uninhibited and enjoy dancing

Cop you a drink, go head and rock your ice
Have a drink and enjoy feeling cool and relaxed

'Cause we celebrating No More Drama in our life
We are enjoying a drama-free existence

Let's get it started, ha! let's get it started in here
Let's start having fun

Hi, my name is, what?
Introducing oneself

My name is, who?
Asking for clarification

My name is, chka-chka L.e.j
The artist L.e.j's name

Hi, my name is, huh?
Further introducing oneself, possibly mocking the earlier confusion

My name is, what?
Continuing to introduce oneself

My name is, chka-chka bum bum
A fun, rhythmic way of ending an introduction

It's the hard knock life for us
Life can be difficult

It's the hard knock life for us!
Reinforcing the previous statement

Instead of treated, we get tricked
People sometimes take advantage of us

Instead of kisses, we get kicked
We experience negative treatment instead of positive

It's the hard knock life!
Reinforcing the previous negative statement

I'm beginnin' to feel like a Rap God, Rap God
Feeling like a master of one's craft

All my people from the front to the back nod, back nod
Receiving positive feedback from one's audience

Now who thinks their arms are long enough to slap box, slap box
Challenging someone to a physical competition

They said I rap like a robot, so call me rap-bot, rap-bot
Addressing a criticism and embracing it

You write normal? Fuck being normal
Rejecting the norm and choosing to be different

And I just bought a new raygun from the future
Metaphorically embracing new and innovative ideas

Just to come and shoot ya, like when Fabolous made Ray J mad
Humorous reference to a celebrity feud

'Cause Fab said he looked like a fag at Mayweather's pad
Further reference to the celebrity feud

Singing to a man while they played piano
Continuing to reference the celebrity feud in a humorous way

Man, oh man, that was a 24/7 special on the cable channel
The celebrity feud was extensively covered by the media

So Ray J went straight to the radio station
Ray J publicly addressed the issue

The very next day, "Hey Fab, I'ma kill you!"
Further escalation of the celebrity feud

Lyrics coming at you at supersonic speed (J.J. Fad)
Boasting about one's fast and impressive rapping style

Uh, summa-lumma, dooma-lumma, you assuming I'm a human
Playful wordplay to emphasize one's unique style

What I gotta do to get it through to you? I'm superhuman
Asserting one's superiority and skill

Innovative and I'm made of rubber
Continuing to emphasize one's unique and impressive qualities

So that anything you say is ricocheting off of me and it'll glue to you
Insinuating that criticism bounces off without affecting the singer, but has an impact on the criticizer

And I'm devastating, more than ever demonstrating
Emphasizing one's talent and ability to impress

How to give a mothafuckin' audience a feeling like it's levitating
Creating a high-energy and impactful performance

Never fading, and I know the haters are forever waiting
Continuing to assert one's greatness and attracting negative attention for it

For the day that they can say I fell off, they'll be celebrating
The haters are eagerly anticipating the downfall of the singer

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
Feeling disappointed and depressed

The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
Further emphasis on the negative mood

And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your pictures on my wall
Finding a small bright spot in an otherwise gloomy day

It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad (not so bad)
A reminder to focus on the positive, even in difficult times
