Real As Can Be
Brother Ali

So I'm finally gettin' home from off tour

Been gone since I can' t even remember when

I start wakin' up in my bed not knowin' where I'm at man

The bad part is I look over at my wife

And like I don't know who this person is in my bed (Tell me is it real?)

I'm buggin' out


If I wake up in a hotel room

Or on the bunk of a bus

Middle of nowhere, shit I'm completely fine

But let me wake up in my crib

I get to flippin' my wig

Anywhere as long it isn't mine

I've been on the road seven

Out the past eight months

You wanna live you gotta give

Your lovin' fans what they want

So if they want the truth

You gotta tell 'em it's here

Ask Randy Hawkins man

I had a helluva year

My first headlining tour

My album in stores

And I finally got to see

What all that grindin' been for

To get down for the cause

And catch a round of applause

And to see the shit I spit

Get printed out in the source

My heroes brung me on tour

I said allahu akbar

Thank you God

I don't know what else

I could bother you for

Got me out in California

At this Wal-Mart store

With the lord rockin'

We chillin' shoppin' for drawers

I blew my little video budget

I figured fuck it

You only live once


You better entertain your public

I did freeze my nuts

In D.C. on a handy cam

On the white house lawn

Rappin' Uncle Sam Goddamn

Shook hands with Busy Bee

I said his line from Wild Style

The Bee part B and he smiled

So I'm out in the bay

With Fred Hampton Junior

Somebody made away

With my goddamn computer

I caught a flight home

On my 30th birthday

A gift courtesy

Of my main man MURS see

I needed to see my wife

And Faheem in the worst way

Ended up havin' both

A blessed an a cursed day

As I walked on stage

To give 'em these raps

My DJ's wife was on

That bridge that collapsed

She ended up breakin' her back

And gettin' roughed up

But she already walkin'

You bad mother fucker

It's real as can be

I keep my people with me

And that's B.K., Drinkula

And King So Key

Rhymesayers entertainment

And what more can I say?

Except I gotta brand new

Baby daughter on the way


(Tell me is it real?)
