I'm only here just to keep it real
The truth always hurts and it's a big deal
Shit has been getting real now that I'm 18
It's been downhill, life is chill
But it's just a fact I keep making more errors
Can't sit still, smoke weed pills
Stay true to me, never get an ill will
Songs do the talking and let the beat kill
Just keep it real
Yeah, I know the truth but you lie still
I notice you don't say what's true
But you lie still
I'm only here just to keep it real
The truth always hurts and it's a big deal
It's a big pill
I know that it's a front
But you lie still
Yeah, but you lie still
Yeah, but you lie still
Yeah, but you try still
Sometimes I go crazy being patient with this state of mind
But I always try to stay away from living a life of crime
Or taking pills as a way of helping me pass the time
I never once twitched an eye for any blunt or pint
But that aside, you don't have to get high with your homies that think that you're lame
So on one unexpected day, they can make you take the blame
Just to save their name
Now you're in the pen thinking it was all a game
Reflecting on what was there to gain
You can't find a single thing
Your mama calling every single day
Your papa wants you to stay away
Cause now he feels ashamed
To have raised you to be something great
And now you went the wrong way
It will never be the same
And maybe things will never change
All that and you weren't even in the gang
Yeah, I know the truth
But you lie still
I notice you don't say what's true
But you lie still
I'm only here just to keep it real
The truth always hurts
And it's a big deal
It's a big pill
I know that it's a front
But you lie still
Yeah, but you lie still
Yeah, but you lie still
Yeah, but you try still
Still can't sit still
About to kill my vibe
How does it feel
When you can't hide
So you form a lie
To get yourself by
Still can't see your pride
Still can't see no light
So you form an offense
When they come with kindness
You know you got me straight
Running out of options
There was times where I fell into a pocket
With someone that I thought
That was my friend
I dislike when
They make comments
And then act like
They don't mean shit
I dislike when
They act like they get big checks
But it's pretend
You try to take advantage of my kindness
Try to take the balance of my talent
This is not me attacking
This is me finding out the truth
I couldn't manage to process
But now I can see through the BS
Cured of my blindness
Yet you sit there and always tell it to me
As a different story
I just couldn't seem to believe
That I was broken
All those little times
Where y'all said I haven't spoken
I just came to notice
That it's just my heart broken
From when I was young and annoying
So I started frontin
So I can be included
Yeah, I know the truth
But you lie still
I know that you don't say what's true
But you lie still
I'm only here just to keep it real
The truth always hurts
And it's a big deal
It's a big deal
I know that it's a front
But you lie still
Yeah, but you lie still
Yeah, but you lie still
Yeah, but you try still
I'm only here just to keep it real
I only exist to be the one that can keep it real
Who you can put trust within
Anyone who tells me otherwise
Does not understand
That I am different
That I am different
Got to get a grip
Got to sit with this
Everyone I know
Can feel it within
That I am broken
And now I know
That I wasn't meant to fit in
