Kendrick Lamar, Anna Wise - Real(2013)

[00:01.65] I do what I wanna do
[00:06.44] I say what I wanna say
[00:08.44] When I feel, and I...
[00:11.44] Look in the mirror and know I'm there
[00:14.24] With my hands in the air
[00:16.89] I'm proud to say yea
[00:18.84] I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[00:23.61] I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[00:28.37] I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[00:33.12] I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[00:38.52] I promise that I know you very well
[00:40.74] Your eyes never lie even if they tell
[00:43.16] Sweet lullabies that come with a smell
[00:45.57] Of a dozen roses flippin' down the green hill
[00:48.09] You living in a world that come with plan B
[00:50.38] Cause plan A never relay a guarantee
[00:52.72] And plan C never could say just what it was
[00:55.22] And your plans only can pan around love
[00:57.68] You love him, you love them, you love her
[01:00.08] You love so much, you love when love hurts
[01:02.30] You love red-bottom and gold they say queen
[01:04.70] You love hand-bag on the waist of your jean
[01:07.16] You love french tip and trip that pay for
[01:09.53] You love bank slip that tell you we paid more
[01:12.06] You love a good hand whenever the card dealt
[01:14.42] But what love got to do with it when you don't love yourself
[01:17.75] I do what I wanna do
[01:20.85]
[01:23.05] I say what I wanna say
[01:25.28] When I feel, and I...
[01:28.07] Look in the mirror and know I'm there
[01:31.06] With my hands in the air
[01:33.67] I'm proud to say yea
[01:35.66] I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[01:40.42] I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[01:45.01] I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[01:49.85] I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[01:55.44] I promise that I know you very well
[01:57.58] Your eyes never lie even if they fell
[02:00.05] Out the sky and your optics turn stale
[02:02.29] Where they mold that's green
[02:03.72] I can see you fit the bill
[02:04.78] Of living in a world that come with Plan B
[02:07.03] Cause Plan A only can make another mistake
[02:09.38] And you can't see success coming from plan C
[02:11.75] When it all breaks you, you still say you're lovely
[02:14.23] And love them and love when you love her
[02:16.77] You love so much, you love when love hurts
[02:19.17] You love fast cars and dead presidents old
[02:21.45] You love fast women
[02:22.86] You love keepin' control
[02:24.06] Of everything you love, you love beef
[02:26.25] You love streets, you love runnin', duckin' police
[02:28.67] You love your hood, might even love it to death
[02:31.12] But what love got to do with it when you don't love yourself?
[02:34.59] I do what I wanna do
[02:39.73] I say what I wanna say
[02:42.05] When I feel, and I...
[02:44.94] Look in the mirror and know I'm there
[02:47.78] With my hands in the air
[02:50.03] I'm proud to say yea
[02:52.42] I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[02:57.14] I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[03:01.80] I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[03:06.58] I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[03:12.37] The reason why I know you very well
[03:14.32] Cause we have the same eyes can't you tell
[03:16.53] The days I tried to cover up and conceal
[03:19.02] My pride, it only made it harder for me to deal
[03:21.51] When living in a world that come with plan B
[03:24.09] A scapegoat cause plan A don't come free
[03:26.31] And plan C just an excuse like because
[03:28.73] Or the word "but", but what if I got love?
[03:31.27] I love them, I love when I love her
[03:33.55] I love so much, I love when love hurts
[03:36.32] I love first verse cause you're the girl I attract
[03:38.32] I love second verse cause your the homie that packed
[03:40.78] Burner like a stove top, that love cooking from scratch
[03:43.29] I love what the both of you have to offer
[03:45.10] In fact, I love it so much
[03:46.43] I don't love anything else
[03:47.76] But what love got to do with it when I don't love myself
[03:50.46] To the point I should hate everything I do love
[03:52.79] Should I hate living my life inside the club
[03:54.92] Should I hate her for watching me for that reason
[03:57.58] Should I hate him for telling me that I'm season
[04:00.08] Should I hate them for telling me ball out
[04:02.36] Should I hate street credibility I'm talkin' about
[04:04.63] Hatin' all money, power, respect in my will
[04:06.93] Or hatin' the fact that none of that shit make me real
[04:10.44] Kenny I ain't trippin' off that Dominos anymore,
[04:13.27] Just calling, sorry to hear what happen to your homeboy,
[04:16.05] But don't learn the hard way like I did homie.
[04:18.59] Any nigga can kill a man, that don't make you a real nigga.
[04:22.18] Real is responsibility,
[04:24.23] Real is taking care of your motherfucking family,
[04:27.86] Real is god, nigga
[04:30.40] I do what I wanna do
[04:35.27] I say what I wanna say
[04:37.18] When I feel, and I...
[04:40.11] Look in the mirror and know I'm there
[04:43.08] With my hands in the air
[04:45.30] I'm proud to say yea
[04:47.45] I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[04:52.34] I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[04:57.15] I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[05:01.97] I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real

[05:18.09] But look I ain't trippin.
[05:19.23] Look, the neighbors say they seen you and your little friends over there by the food for less,
[05:24.73] And they was preaching to you over there telling you about the good book because right about now that's what ya'll need.
[05:30.58] Oh, and Top Dawg called the house too.
[05:32.46] I guess they want you and Dave to come to the studio.
[05:34.82] But look, you take this music business serious,
[05:38.47] And put out something me and your dad can step to.

[06:24.09] If I don't hear from you, by tomorrow...
[06:26.69] I hope you come back, and learn from your mistakes.
[06:32.16] Come back a man, tell your story to these black and brown kids in Compton.
[06:40.16] Let 'em know you was just like them, but you still rose from that dark place of violence, becoming a positive person.
[06:47.33] But when you do make it, give back, with your words of encouragement,
[06:52.94] And that's the best way to give back.
[06:55.24] To your city... And I love you Kendrick,
[06:58.62] If I don't hear you knocking on the door you know where I usually leave the key. Alright? talk to you later, bye.
