Real (113 Bars) - Chad Michael

It’s winnin' time

(Winnin' time)

Fuck the patience

I been in line

Six seconds in and I killed this shit

I’m spittin' vines

(Spittin' vines)

I’m spinnin' grapes of wrath

I’m sippin' bitter wines

This vintage made to last

Spillin' into the grand design

(Spillin' into the grand design)

I, know what happens when you take her for granted

Knew I was gone in a week

As she took off her panties

(As she took of her panties)

Never gave her a chance

Just too young and too damaged

(Too young and too damaged)

Comin' of age in the United States of Abandon-

Meant to let her go sooner

Kept fuckin' through the computer

Know she wanted more

I’m sorry I did it to her

Tried to be be honest to her

I never meant to confuse her

And I know that when she hear this

She’ll know that I’m talkin' to her, uh

(Talkin' to her, uh)

Faded on that computer love

(Computer love)

Even though

We were never just the two of us

I remember her goin' ghost on me

(Ghost on me)

Yeah

Right after I sent her 'Weekend Love'

Yeah

Right after it started rainin'

(Right after it started rainin')

Tried to see it clear but my vision already jaded

Silence on the line

Couldn’t think of a better statement

If I tried a little harder

Then maybe she wouldn’t hate me, but

(She wouldn’t hate me, but)

My life is chances I ain’t have to take

(I ain’t have to take)

So, these the decisions I didn’t have to make

So many voices

How the fuck to know which path to take

So many demons

So easy to choose to live with hate

(Choose to live with hate)

Hey, hey

I still want more than that

They say a 'penny for your thoughts'

I want my quarter back

(Want my quarter back)

They say 'I'm sorry that you’re lost

But you can’t know the map'

Everyone is payin' for they lives

We just don’t know the tax

(We just don’t know the tax)

And why the fuck ain’t no one signin' Kap

Why the fuck should he worship a flag

While the people he’s kneelin' for gettin' shot in the back

By the same mu’fuckas wearin' that flag and a badge

(Flag and a badge)

Huh?

Fuck you and your political

That’s common sense

(That's common sense)

Stepped right out the brainwash into a karmic rinse

(Into a karmic rinse)

Watched the Ferguson live-stream

Suddenly I’m incensed

(Suddenly I’m incensed)

Felt this pain in my soul

It hasn’t left me since

(Hasn't left me since)

Since Mike Brown, Freddie Gray, and Eric Garner

12-year-old Tamir, Trayvon Martin

And all they mamas

Philando and Terence Crutcher

All their brothers, sisters, fathers

Everyone in the line of fire

Past and present

Sons and daughters

(Sons and daughters)

Feels like all I can say is now I see the problem

And I got love for all of y’all

And I wish i could solve it

(Wish I could solve it)

Grew up deaf to it

Distracted by the bounce of the Spalding

Black or white or brown or yellow

We all wanted to ball, man

(We all wanted to ball, man)

Basketball filled my life with color

I didn’t think nothin' of it

'Til I started to uncover

That this race shit is undercover

The suffering of my brothers

My family, brought me closer to the struggle

And I owe 'em my life

(The struggle and I owe 'em my life)

And forever I got you if you need me

I know we haven’t talked

I think about it believe me

(think about it believe me)

Chronically selfish with my time

'Cause these moments are fleeting

Learned to be comfortable by myself

So nobody could leave me

(So nobody could leave me)

Yeah

Its never been this Real

My destiny on Earth is to help y’all get through Hell

And if everyone buy the bullshit then a wise man sell

As he try to detail

Just how fuckin' high he fell

(How fuckin' high he fell)

But never forget how high I aimed

If we were too far gone

Just know I wish I stayed

The Titanic is fuckin' sinkin'

But the four-piece plays

'Til the music is all I hear

Through this haze I made
