Is it real son, is it really real son
Let me know it's, if it's really real
Something I could feel, chill
If it's really real
I rather have no chains than fake chains
It be the no names tryna make names
Started gettin' money then the hate came
It's a war goin' on, boy they take chains
Rather have no love than fake love
And all that fake love make me hate love
I remember they tried to play us
But now we way up and everyday it's like oh hey love
My first joint was a herringbone
Tryna set a tone, welcome to the terror dome
Had a rep but I was better known
With some jewels round my neck, I just needed me some better golds
Set my sights on some better goals
Then I heard that Biggie song and I needed that shit set in stone
He had rocks in beards and mustaches
We cut classes and watched as luck passed us
And I don't really splurge on nothin
This my write to dream I don't waste these words for nothin
Get up on the mic say a lil sumthin
If I had a bigger chain, would that really make you love him
I went to Tommy and copped a baby Jesus
Somethin' in my budget cause I ain't really need it
At least my shit real, I ain't doin no deceivin'
Tell me who do you believe in, is it money or the image we're conceived in?
Is it real son, is it really real son
Let me know it's real son, if it's really real
Something I could feel, uh hold up just chill
Want it all real, if it's really real
I rather have no chains than fake chains
It be the no names tryna make names
Started gettin' money then the hate came
It's a war goin' on, boy they take chains
Rather have no love than fake love
And all that fake love make me hate love
I remember they tried to play us
But now we way up and everyday it's like oh hey love
I can barely take 'em seriously
Wake up, can't stand what that mirror see
Moonwalk when that man in the mirror sing
And drift away from whoever you was meant to be
Rather be Drake than to be yourself
Rather follow on Durk than to lead yourself
How we supposed to believe, you don't believe yourself
You just wanna be seen, dog you see yourself
How the blind supposed to lead the blind
And when I'm gone I always wonder what I'll leave behind
Maybe some jewels, a couple keys to find
A song or two that could help you with your peace of mind
I know rappers who trapped behind an image
Do it for the gram, but that's not how they livin
Gotta couple writers dog that's not how they spit it
We needed somethin' real but that's not what it's givin
I rather have no chains than fake chains
It be the no names tryna make names
Started gettin' money then the hate came
It's a war goin' on, boy they take chains
Rather have no love than fake love
And all that fake love make me hate love
I remember they tried to play us
But now we way up and everyday it's like oh hey love
Is it real son, is it really real son
Let me know it's, if it's really real
Something I could feel, chill
If it's really real
