Verse 1
Let me spit out my soul through the pro-tools/
I lose all control in the vocal booth/ digging my own grave that’s the cold
truth/
Picking a day to lay in it when i’m to though/
No charades just honesty in my prayers/
Am i talking to myself or is there really a god near us/
Got excuse me i’m just curious/
Cause the poverty in my hood is serious/
Throw salt in my wounds and let it burn/
Where are black girls at what if the table turn/
My daughter ain’t make it to see a year/
And everyday i still shed a tear/
Went through withdraws addicted to alcohol/
My family had to eat so fuck it i broke the law/
One man four limbs to much pride to call on/
I’m on my third strike and no paper to count on/
Get it right i’m no homie to clown on/
I won’t hesitate to hit head/
Took a jump so i could see it clear/
Ran the gauntlet to face my fears/
Damn shit is real just go head/
Chorus
Had to walk through blind so i can see how/
Had to run through it numb so i can feel how/
Shit is real now/
Shit is real now/
Shit is real now/
That’s how it is now/
(background vocal)
Throw it all at me so i can see how
Go against me so i can feel how
Verse2
They say you learn from mistakes then i’m a scholar/
They say i got what it takes but never halla at me/
It’s like i’m all on my own just like a boxer/
Just to earn your respect i got rock ya/
Cut from the team fell off the roster/
Just for me to realize that i’m a monster/
Just for m to realize that i’m a monster/
My success making you sick go call the doctor/
My attitude turning you off go get a on switch/
I ain’t here to sit on trial for your judgment/
About to say fuck it go back to school/
Because this game is like swimming with sharks in the kiddie pool/
Can lend me your ear i need a life line/
Started out as my peer but no i love her/
Maybe that line there will catch her attention/
I know she hears me but is she listening/
Chorus
Had to walk through blind so i can see how/
Had to run through it numb so i can feel how/
Shit is real now/
Shit is real now/
Shit is real now/
That’s how it is now/
(background vocal)
Throw it all at me so i can see how
Go against me so i can feel how
Bridge
I’m shutting down/ i’m shutting down/
I’m shutting off/ i’m shutting off/
I’m shutting down/ i’m shutting down/
I’m shutting off/ i’m shutting off/
Let me spit out my soul through the pro-tools/
I lose all control in the vocal booth/
I lose all control in the vocal booth/
I lose all control in the vocal booth/
Let me spit out my soul through the pro-tools/
I lose all control in the vocal booth/
I lose all control in the vocal booth/
I lose all control in the vocal booth/
Chorus
Had to walk through blind so i can see how/
Had to run through it numb so i can feel how/
Shit is real now/
Shit is real now/
Shit is real now/
That’s how it is now/
(background vocal)
Throw it all at me so i can see how
Go against me so i can feel how
