realcityfame - campbell park 1997' lyrics

imma just be real
you know what i’m saying
imma just tell it how it is

speak on what i feel
you know what it is
you know what i’m saying
imma just do this for the real

yup
yup
uh uh look look

coming up as a young’n
in these streets where i’m from
you either learned to shoot a ball or you learn to load a drum (yea)
cops been harassing lil n+ggas since we was young
but all the while
we was just kids
we was only tryna
have some fun
but still we learned to have fun
and keep the family close
never let a n+gga in your circle do the most
we learned that cops
wasn’t our friends
but we still gotta keep the peace
cause the vigilantes
in our streets
batman and robin on the pree
yea lurking
but all the while
behind the blocks
sh+t was bubbling
burgz been the sh+t since 85′
go do your research
on my child
growing up back then
compares to nothing
from the curb to field
we aces ran until our feet hurt
and on worst days
some of my n+ggas ended up on t shirts
so we shed tears
we let it out
then we let it rebirth
i hit the booth
i spit it out
i check the reverb
i speak the truth
and i never shout
so they think it’s rehe+rs+d
but nah n+gga
i’m from a block
that made it cool
to be a don n+gga
so imma spit this sh+t
until i touch milan n+gga
and i ain’t going with n0body but my mom n+gga
we trying get wealthy
make sure my son is healthy
be who he wanna be
that’s not up to me
that’s up to god
i’ll teach him how to pee
teach him how to walk
on both feet
and how to eat
teach him how to read
after i teach him how to speak
i’ll proly take him
to the booth myself
and let him knock a beat
i can tell he might
hold him while i write
i feel his chi
that’s my g
coming from the streets
we raised different
you either make it or you don’t
either way the wave different
cause we ain’t have no choice
guess that’s why
we pray different
i talk to god everyday
cause the devil stay whispering
tryna feed the streets
so that the streets
can feed the people
you know cause that way
we might make sh+t just a
little bit more equal

you know
you know it’s crazy
cause i remember
you know what i’m saying
back in the day
i used to go to work
with my moms sometimes
she used to go into into the jewish community
cause that’s where
a lot of her clients were
and you know me
i’m bouncing from
house to house all day long
seeing these big houses
houses i’ve never seen
in my entire life
3, 4 stories
and you know what saying
my moms working hard
you know all day long
and at the end of the day
it’s like i’m going back home
with her at the end of the day
after a long days work
to a 3 bed room apartment
in the hood and i’m like
why can’t we
have a house like that
it was just never set up for n+ggas
like me to have that sh+t
coming up especially
as a young (black) kid
nah forget about it
we ain’t had nothing
none of that

look look

so now i do this for my n+ggas
i do this for my single mothers
tryna raise they children
tell em keep they faith
don’t let the devil
catch you slipping
cause all that fuelling hate
gone have yo peoples
moving different
see it’s better when
you keep it real
and never shake your pivot
so shout outs to
trevor williams
cause he showed me how drill it
and shouts my n+gga nutty
cause that n+gga always did it (facts)
and big shout outs to burky
yea that n+gga really real
had me doing push ups
to the point that i couldn’t feel (yea)
now i’m at point in my life
where i cannot chill
see it’s too much on my plate
and i ain’t talking bout no meals
ain’t got time to wait
nah see we tryna make a mill (yea)
then reinvest this money
til it start piling up for real (yea)
then reinvest these hunneds
til they start stacking up
like steel (yea)
still gon keep it rugged
naw we ain’t switching
for no deals (nah)
known to keep it thuggin
so my n+ggas still gon let it spill (yea)
you know the vibes n+gga
we tryna live so why the h+ll you tryna die n+gga
still slap a n+gga
for talking out his side n+gga
still strapped with k!llas
who ain’t looking
for no jobs n+gga
but we tryna find a better way
that’s word to god n+gga
campbell crack park
that’s where it started
see they labelled us r+t+rded
and most of us
ain’t had no fathers
like when my pop was in a cage
i still think about them times
he wasn’t home until this day
making sure i never have to
make the same mistakes
cause history repeats itself
if u let it find it’s way
that’s why i gotta get it
by any means, on any day
that’s why i leave the block
and then get
on my knees and pray
that we all see better days
so to my family and friends (yea)
to all my n+ggas on the block
or in the bing (yea)
to all my queens living life
without they kings (yea)
just keep your head up
and we gon ride this til the end (yea)

cause i’m from campbell park
where they teach you
how to stand and spark
mama told me
hold her hand it’s dark
they leaving babies
outlined and chalked
(yea)
cause i’m from campbell park
where they teach you
how to stand and spark
mama told me
hold her hand it’s dark
they leaving babies
outlined and chalked
(yea)
cause i’m from campbell park
