Lyrics

Verse 1: You don?t know me, but still you?ll try and brand me. Try as you may but you?ll never understand me; I?m one of a kind. You want to know my mind? Then listen to my rhyme. My vision is beyond what I am, but on what I can be. You don?t hear me. You see a man?s transformed by where his mind goes, not where his body goes. Will I be the next president, who knows? If I can see it then I can be it. I believe I can fly. (Up, up to the sky.) So, hold on as I spread my wings and soar like an eagle, instead of flying together you?re more like a seagull looking for a grill to rob, it makes me sob to see you standing on the corner like little Jack Horner, but you aint eating. Man, come and take this beating. Maybe, I can knock some since in your head, instead of running around talking about the white man this, the white man that. Man, ain?t nobody holding you back, but your Damn self and nobody else, now that?s real.
(Chores) Are you real Bra, huh? Let me know something tell me, huh? Are you real Bra, huh? (Everybody?s talking about keeping it real. Are you real, do you know what real is, are you true to yourself, or do you follow the crowd?)
Verse 2: Now, I?m a man of God, but understand Man. I ain?t so Holy I won?t fist fight, for what?s right. So, if you don?t want no trouble you better get back. Yeah, that?s what I said. I rebuke you, all that mess you?re talking is useless. Cause I ain?t changing mine for nobody. I stand firm on the words of the Almighty God. So, you can say what you want too, it?s Jesus I go through, for Power or anything. When thing get too rough, that?s when I sing praises, to the Lord of Hosts, change my tongue and let the Holy Ghost take control of the situation. You think it?s strange, but I?m on exhibit, ?what you see is what you get.? Mr. Wright is true, if I can?t be me than you must not be you. Well, tell me. Are you your own man doing your own thing or following another brother riding his shoe string? Yeah, just what I thought, no true identity, yo you need a leader? Then hey follow me.
(Chores)
Verse 3: What?s real? Who?s real? Are you real, really? You know, they say you haven?t lived until you?ve found something to die for. What would you die for? I would die for you, to get through too my people, we?re all equal. I know everybody won?t agree, but see, until we learn to think of others as we do ourselves, it?s like being on the right track, but just sitting there. Everybody?s passing you by, but not I. I?m down with ya, too help get?cha up and moving. There?s a lot to be proven, you say you?re real, show you?re. Don?t cancel the game because of the rain. Life don?t last that long so move on and lend a hand, but not a broken one understand? If you give and I give, then maybe one day we?ll all live, happily. You hear me rapping G? Yo, this goes out to everybody out there talking about, Keep it real.? Let me know something, how are you keeping it real, huh?
(Chores)
