Who Killed Realness

Lyrics

[Verse 1: K-Rino] I arrived at the scene of the crime and met with my committee There was a thousand mile chalk line drawn around the whole city It seemed like I would get the word before the world had heard it I asked somebody what had happened? He said Realness had been murdered I said, "Damn, damn, damn" like Florida, then I turned and asked the coroner "What type of horrible person would go to war with a Sweet, innocent, quality like Realness"? He paused and then revealed that it coulda been killed by collective mental illness He said, "Realness had been missing for years before it passed Now that I think about it, it had been a while since I saw it last" "Do y'all have any suspects in mind?" He said, "We will once detectives find a timeline or a sign that connects to the crime" See since the dawn of time, this statement is a fact That it suffered when men carried out any artificial act And anytime somebody faked or misrepresented a statement That flagrant hatred went straight to the heart of real and forsakes it [Chorus: Ashlei Mayadia] Who killed Realness is what we ask? Searched all over to find out facts I can't remember where I seen it last, damn Nobody stepped up and took the blame Asked for a witness but no one came Since it been gon' life just ain't the same, damn [Verse 2: K-Rino] Now I searched around checking every dark location known I couldn't wait; I had to do an investigation of my own I moved hurriedly, the lack of concerns started to worry me I found every lowlife I knew and interrogated 'em thoroughly I was like, "Where were you when Realness died?", my mind was on the resting After days I realized that there were too many people to question I was baffled, so I knew I had to break it down a bit If I can only figure out the last person that it was with I met an old lady who told me she can help me with my search She said she saw Realness debating with a Pastor after Church Then she saw it leaving a motel with a woman who had a pistol Late that night it was on TV sitting in DC with a government official Apparently it showed up uninvited and a riot was incited The next day I found out I was being indicted I couldn't understand what the summons was about But I guess on my court date I'll get a chance to find out [Chorus: Ashlei Mayadia] Who killed Realness is what we ask? Searched all over to find out facts I can't remember where I seen it last, damn Nobody stepped up and took the blame Asked for a witness but no one came Since it been gon' life just ain't the same, damn [Verse 3: K-Rino] When I got to court, the prosecution mentioned the life sentence It was the first trial in history with five million defendants To be convicted of murder, the whole public was subject We was all guilty of it, even the judge who judged it A thought came to me that day, is it insane for me to say That a metaphysical quality can contain a DNA? If not explain to me the way? A whole population can dangerously display the same hate and simultaneously decay Then a voice echoed through the wind and made the crowd react It was a child; he said, "Is there a way we bring back the Realness back? What if everybody stopped lying and cheating and deceiving? Started being honest even, maybe that would end the grieving" All at once a lot of chattering and bumping heads begun Someone said, "It sounds good, son, but it's easier said than done" The child said, "Realness was killed but it was you who killed him But it will rise like Lazarus again inside the children" [Chorus: Ashlei Mayadia] Who killed Realness is what we ask? Searched all over to find out facts I can't remember where I seen it last, damn Nobody stepped up and took the blame Asked for a witness but no one came Since it been gon' life just ain't the same, damn
