Real One / June 5th
Troy Ave Lyrics

I made my name up in these streets like a real nigga
My reputation and standing in the community was earned through actions, values, and integrity

I keep them pistols in my jeep like a real nigga
I carry firearms for protection and as a tool to support my street credibility

I make sure all my homies eat like a real nigga
I provide for my friends and associates, often at my own expense, as a sign of loyalty and respect

I fuck your bitch and go to sleep like a real nigga
I engage in promiscuous sexual relationships without regard for the feelings or consequences for others

Man all my pockets be obese cause I deal nigga
I have attained great wealth through drug trafficking and other illegal activities

A couple of boxes ain't no sneaks, just some bills nigga
I store cash in shoeboxes as a means of financial security and anonymity

The way I handle all my beefs, I just kill niggas
I respond to disputes and confrontations with violence and aggression, often resulting in harm or death to others

If you 100 then you love me, I'm a real nigga
I measure my worth and authenticity based on the approval and loyalty of others

Chargin' my phone, leave them charges alone
I am cautious and wary of law enforcement, particularly when it comes to electronic communication and devices

I'm ridin' foreigns and trucks, my rims are matte or they chrome
I enjoy driving luxury vehicles with custom rims, which impresses others and enhances my image

Smoke a blunt to the dome, I got some shit on my head
I smoke marijuana to alleviate stress and anxiety, and sometimes to escape reality

I turn some niggas to bone, fuck them all they are dead
I have committed murder or caused harm to others, taking away their livelihood and life, often with a lack of remorse or empathy

I get mad I see red, livin' life, gettin' bread
My emotions can quickly turn to anger and aggression, and I prioritize acquiring money and status above all else

Gettin' pussy, fuck the opinions of pussies I said
I prioritize sexual conquests and view women as objects to be used and discarded

Real niggas on top, free run from the box
Those who exhibit similar values and actions as me are respected in the community, and I avoid law enforcement or imprisonment

Free money yo blocks, teeth white like them sox
I generate income through criminal activities, and my dental hygiene and appearance reflect this financial success

Studio thug, you can't do what I does
Others who appear tough or influential in the studio or through music cannot compare to my actual street credibility and experiences

I am really a plug, you just cool in them clubs
I am a prominent figure in the underground drug market, while others who appear successful in nightlife or social situations cannot match my wealth or influence

Before this rap I had bust, feds watchin' and shit
Prior to pursuing a music career, I engaged in criminal activities and law enforcement is aware of this history

They (?) on that roll, he ain't cooperate shit
One of my associates has been arrested and is refusing to cooperate with law enforcement

I hold 'em down with that cash for bein' real like I knew
I support my friends and associates with money and resources as a sign of loyalty and respect

Loyalty ain't no favor nigga, its just what we do
Being loyal to those in my community is expected and valued, and is not something that should be seen as a favor or something special

(?) is the crew, we get wild like a zoo
My crew is a tight-knit group of associates who act impulsively and often violently

But (?) time, we like chillin' fuckin' with hoes by the two
When we are not engaging in criminal activities or violence, we enjoy relaxing and pursuing sexual relationships

Man it's nothin', all these bitches is fuckin'
Sexual relationships with women are readily available and do not hold significant value or meaning

All these niggas is frontin', I see 'em they don't want nothin'
Others who claim to be tough or influential are often lying or exaggerating, and I am able to recognize this behavior

I smack, shoot, or snuff 'em
As a response to disrespect or threats, I am willing to physically harm or even kill others

They don't respect my name
Others are not showing me the level of admiration or deference that I believe is deserved

Violence my go to move, I make 'em respect the pain
When faced with disrespect or challenges, I rely on physical violence as my primary method of asserting authority and gaining respect

Was 'bout to buy a 'Rari, bought a tour bus
I had the opportunity to purchase a luxury car, but instead invested in a tour bus for my music career

And God, I get a Lambo with the doors up
In addition to the tour bus, I hope to purchase a Lamborghini with distinct doors as a symbol of my financial success

Fuckin' niggas tell me I don't work E
Others are questioning my work ethic or commitment to my career

I see them niggas every time they hurtin'
Those who doubt my work ethic or success are often struggling financially or personally

Blast a couple haters lookin' stressed out
As a response to negative comments or criticism, I am willing to use violence or aggression to intimidate or harm others

You can't have your hand and your chest out
When facing danger or violence, it is important to be prepared and aware of your surroundings

What you tryin' to hold, huh, nigga, what?
What do you have or want to protect, and can you truly defend it against threats or violence?

You can hold these shots, you can hold these nuts
If you challenge me or disrespect me, I am willing to use guns or aggression to show my dominance and power

It's somethin' that you need to get in tune with
You need to understand and appreciate my values and lifestyle to fully connect with me

I got the new album droppin' June 5th
I am promoting my upcoming music release and using it as a way to generate excitement and anticipation

Major without a deal, are you ready?
I have significant influence and success in the music industry without a record label, and am challenging others to recognize and respect this achievement

Your boy in the streets real heavy
I have a strong presence and reputation in the streets, and am using this to promote my music career
