What's Real - Gang Starr/Group Home.mp3

[00:05.252] What's real?
[00:08.624] ("The real question is...") What's real?
[00:14.242] ("Try your best to diagnose...") What's real
[00:20.046] ("People all around, you got to recognize and witness")
[00:22.674] I got soldiers that'll turn shit out, burn shit out
[00:25.552] Do I come correctly when it's my turn? No doubt
[00:28.132] I twisted trees in the cold with one hand wipin' my nose
[00:30.802] Girls say that I'm fly 'cause they be likin' my clothes
[00:33.737] But the clothes or the money can't make the man
[00:36.596] When I apply my vicious grip, you can't take it, man
[00:39.565] Face it and understand, there are no winnings for you
[00:42.236] What I'm beginnin' to do, is bring an endin' to you and your crew
[00:45.407] I sip a brew and at the same time drink the life out of you
[00:47.958] I righteously come through, created in the likeness of who?
[00:51.083] G-O-D, can sell a half a line for a G
[00:53.580] Check ballistics, you won't be takin' mine from me
[00:56.516] Oh boy, you p-noid, heard my lightnin' and thunder
[00:59.415] Not Thor but frightening, type of stress I've been under
[01:02.400] I'm the one-eyed Jack, I'm here to smack you back
[01:05.036] In '83, I seen stacks, run your kicks, take a flick and act
[01:08.057] (What's real?) Certified street poetry
[01:10.783] In the game a long time, so you know it's me, nigga
[01:13.720] (What's real?) Gang Starr, mutha****a, we live
[01:16.429] All you fake niggas run and hide, we wanna know
[01:19.176] (What's real?) It's Lil Dap in the place to be
[01:21.997] We livin' proof, supa star, you see, we wanna know
[01:24.912] (What's real?) The Foundation, yo, we presidential
[01:28.614] Y'all ain't built for what we been through
[01:30.754] Underground, I might as well record in the sewer
[01:33.433] Notorious lord of the war, tourin' Aruba
[01:36.395] Before I was crawlin' I'd warn you and show you the Ruger
[01:39.285] I'ma shoot four through your fedora, destroy your medulla
[01:42.001] I could get these niggas X'd, quick as sendin' a text
[01:44.828] For disrespect, shit'll be simple as orderin' an Uber
[01:47.697] I don't know what's quicker to change, them figures or fame
[01:50.486] But I guarantee you don't nothin' move more than the moolah
[01:53.451] All these rappers really cut out to do is squash the beef and dip
[01:56.912] Y'all need to cut out the diva shit
[01:58.894] Every time a nigga like Fever Nina come out the dealership
[02:02.222] The streets hear the sound of that Preem droppin' the needle skip
[02:06.063] Like Kane walkin' in "The Symphony"
[02:08.049] Abel is my brother who all he offers is infamy
[02:10.677] I bust Magnums, either strategize or duck faster
[02:13.761] I send his whole group home like Melachi the Nutcracker
[02:16.648] Preem blowin' weed, he a master on the courts
[02:19.074] I'm a student with the rap that's spewin' passion on the chorus
[02:21.925] While the smoke is in the air, feel like voodoo's on the floor
[02:24.780] 'Cause we got the actual ashes of Guru on the boards
[02:28.026] He's sittin' right inside an urn in the session
[02:30.126] Lookin' down from Heaven to Gang Starr's current regression
[02:33.128] Earnin' successes, his legacy get treated like four themes
[02:36.351] Movin' forward then let his children eat off the proceeds
[02:38.923] (What's real?) Certified street poetry
[02:41.668] In the game a long time, so you know it's me, nigga
[02:44.597] (What's real?) Gang Starr, mutha****a, we live
[02:47.325] All you fake niggas run and hide, we wanna know
[02:50.152] (What's real?) It's Lil Dap in the place to be
[02:52.925] We livin' proof, supa star, you see, we wanna know
[02:55.777] (What's real?) The Foundation, yo, we presidential
[02:59.349] Y'all ain't built for what we been through
[03:01.614] (What's real?)
[03:04.939] ("Gang Starr, boy, and that's beyond your comprehension")
