[Intro: DJ Mykael V] (9-5) Nobody could love the fake you That's why you gotta always keep it a stack But when you real (Bodega) It come with a cost [Verse 1: Obed Padilla] You like to hide behind them stained glass windows, fake love and high hopes I'm from the neighborhood, but might make my way to the chateau You ever seen GoodFellas? I'm Pesci and De Niro Don't ask too many questions, like yo no comprendo Beans and rice for dinner, stackin' bills up on the counter Hope that you remember what you prayed for when it happens Macy's parade, boutta hop up on a float Mama in the back sayin', "Don't forget your coat" Pops drivin' 'round, 'bout to hit me on the phone Well done, son, don't forget who you owe [Chorus] I've been on planes, trains, automobiles Bunch of fake names tell you, "Keep it real" I've seen blood stains, I don't play the field They tell you, "Keep it real," until you keep it real [Verse 2: Kaleb Mitchell] Yeah, they say he rappin' like the rent due, 'cause it really is Every single line I ever spoke is what I really live First time I stood over a casket, we was really kids I vowed I'd be the greatest the day that my uncle split his wig Been a father figure 'fore I even hit a growth spurt They gotta turn the keg in, 'cause what they cookin' ain't kosher This ain't a conversation, they can't compete with my old work They see I'm back in Texas 'cause you can't eat no exposure Tired of sayin' I'm number one, they know it's a fact That's why everybody tuckin' they tail when it's time to rap That's why everybody duckin' the smoke when it's time to sing But you got a couple views, so I guess you're doin' your thing I'm on bad timin', where we from it's mad violent Even when you stayin' out the way you still gon' have problems Never went to Prom 'cause I promised my moms a seat at the Grammys So you either gettin' down or you— You understand me (Mitchell) [Chorus] I've been on planes, trains, automobiles Bunch of fake names tell you, "Keep it real" I've seen blood stains, I don't play the field They tell you, "Keep it real," until you keep it real [Verse 3: Jody Felton] Yo, life like a cypher, puff-puff passed and it vapors Luke Cage, the new age, still lovin' my neighbors Hear 'em bangin' on the front door, peep through the peephole Principalities presentin' themselves as people I been runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' from advice again Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' from the light within I've been runnin' from suffering through the complications Uh, what's wrong with my mental? Crumblin' quickly I pick up the pieces and put 'em all in the middle I started off as a villain, okay Phone off, ain't A price, tryna stack chips in a bank heist And the case look different fro my little sister 'cause I gotta get it Stand by [Chorus] I've been on planes, trains, automobiles Bunch of fake names tell you, "Keep it real" I've seen blood stains, I don't play the field They tell you, "Keep it real," until you keep it real
