Real

Today

Instead of 

Hiding behind a screen

or

Saying it under ear range

Today

We will say what we

Feel

Today

Our words will line up

with our

Actions

No longer

Holding up a 

Facade

of 

Camaraderie

and Friendship

Today

We will

Speak the 

Truth

No matter how harsh it 

may be

The KKK

get mad props from me

Cause that enemy

Makes himself

Known

The worse opponent

Is he or

She

that calls themselves

Friends

Claiming to help

Fix that which is broken

Making 

amends 

with your men

Man

What a tangled web we weave

Cause I got natural hair

Some choose not to 

Believe

That energy is felt

Before any sentences are exchanged

Doubting the smile across my face

Labeling me

Lame

May not know about constellations

but very keen on

Game

Real ain't what you profess

Something you can claim

Real don't need to be introduced

Real ain't reaching for fame

It ain't gold chains

and coppin' whips

It ain't mansions

and french finger tips

Real is who we are

When no one 

Is able to be

Seen

When life is messed up

And everyone is ready to leave

Real is

the fart down 

the grocery aisle

or 

Diggin up your nose

Real ain't calling people friends

that you actually

Oppose
