sage (rapper) - be real lyrics

i feel like i’m in a bit of a bind
in just a bit of weird position in life because it’s like
i finally have people that are willing to listen when i
pick up this pen and then i begin to write
spitting my mind i sit and try to pick and define
just the right way to relay what’s happening in my mind
fifty percent of the time
the other fifty percent just gliding along
not even a little bit fine tuned
i just slip right through
just like in the life that i’m living, i would’ve liked to
be able to say that i’ve figured it out and that i knew
what i’m doing all along or at least that i had a slight clue
and i might, who really knows but that isn’t the point
the point is how am i supposed to rap
when i feel i’m not even talented most at that
by close to half
and believe me this isn’t a boast or brag
bro it’s a fact though it just happened i figured it out
over the course of a weekend
then quicker than i would’ve ever imagined
i was able to rap
and more capable at it than half of them radio cats
and that’s when it began the dilemma that i’m in now
that i’m battling madder than a hatter: when how and what
in the world do i do with a talent that’s so rare
when it’s not what i’m after so half of the time i don’t care

(chorus)
cuz it’s not that i don’t care what you want from me
(what you want from me)
and it isn’t necessarily that i don’t care really at all
what you thought of me
(what you thought of me)
buddy it’s just that-
actually that’s exactly what it is dawg
just honestly talking, i don’t want to exist following
the whims of everyone else
so no matter what “works”, for better or worse
bro i’m just gonna be real…

…which’ya, painting a real picture of the real situation
but conveyed in a way that still hits ya
like a ton of bricks, that’ll still get ya
to pay attention until eventually
when i flip the k!ll switch up
and then proceed to go ham on the beat
like a freakin c.annibal eating animal meat
meaning that i’m a freakin understandably ironic
thing to behold and
i know it man and i’m zoning cuz on one hand
it’s a lot of fun to run over a beat
on the other hand i don’t really know what i’m even doin
bro and i think: what if i’m over the brink
what if i’m wasting my time trying to flow
then i sink even deeper into think about
what’s wrong with all of us
and how it’s appalling just how far we have fallen
must we be so tribal and too impatient and barely even
able to think, communication and clarity nowhere to be found
but buried deep down i wonder though
what if there was a way to help people overcome it bro
and around in this circle i go
where could rap til i’m purple and won’t
even get through surface but oh well
that’s beside the point
i’m writing this joint to try and describe why it is i am employing
rhymes as nothing more than diary:
i’ma need to get out what’s inside of me
even if you don’t like it because

(chorus)

but i don’t want it to sound like
i don’t appreciate everyone listening now
i just wanted to be downright real about how i
present what you can expect to be hearing up out of my mouth
line after line, just lie back and vibe
when i rap cuz my lack of a mastermind-type plan aside
whether you’re black or white
whether you never have liked it or rap is life
i’m an average guy but i can provide a little a bit of a break
from a pitiful day within the way
that i manipulate rhymes at a critical pace
spitting shiznit that is dang near so frikkin acidic
that it could straight
eat through the center of a beat til there isn’t
anything left then it essentially is a fizzing a capella
so call me jay i’ve been known to rock-a-fella
knock em down and lock the cellar behind em man y’all can tell
i’m not embellishing when i say i could k!ll this game if i willed
if i was willing to stay and play it for real
faking like taking them pills k!lling and making that scrilla
ain’t gonna k!ll ya or that it will be able to fill
the hole you’re aching to fill
or even to use it as a way to appeal
to what people praise til i’m famous but still
at the end of the day it’d be nil
i’d rather use it as a way to relay how i feel- may i be real with you?

(chorus)
