Keep It Real Lyrics

[Hook]

Lifes too short, No telling whos next
And don't ever regret but never forget
Cause if you take from every situation and you learn from it
When you put it altogether that theres knowledge

Before you know it's your time, you better repent
Will they see you as hell bent or heavenly sent?
Cause its either be known for what you done wrong, Or be known for what you stood for

[Verse 2: Lethal Dialect]
We're all stuck underneath the sky
And the evil eye, CCTV try'na screen our lives
While our own T.V. try to feed our mind
Its time to look beneath the lies
Whether your beliefs rely
In mohammed or in Jesus Christ
Everyone of us dreams at night

Some are capable of reaching heights
Beyond here where the phoenix flys

Beyond fear with a peace of mind
See the shadow of the beast
Where the fiend reside

Where sheets are foil and needle points
And clouds so dark it could seem at times
That the sun might cease to shine

See me I'm Cabra east defined, street inclined, seeping pride
You know the 'nothing you can teach me' type
I conceal that side but sometimes I reach a point
Where the good thoughts leave behind

But im tryin', ever since I seen her smile
Eyes darker than the sea in the deep of night

I was 15 on me way to penal time
Yeah obsessed with illegal life

She hit me in the chest at its weakest point
I was afraid that id see the light so I had to make her leave me side
But dont believe the hype, Boys pretend that they just dont feel inside
And pretend is the keyword

You know me I keep it real as a key of white
See her she used to deal with boys who couldn't treat her right
And as soon as her spines to the front they'll speak behind
Of how nobody can keep her tied

But this time im gonna keep whats mine cause im the peoples voice
Now the circles complete and tight:
Me GI, Costello, Jambo, 4Real - the boys
Shouts to Beans and Willa Lee
and of course Lunitic rest in peace were ready for the freedom fight
