Real Skills by Hands One Lyrics
[Intro scratches by Hands One]
They say signs of the end is near
I wonder can i walk a righteous path holdin' a beer
Real skills will never die
[Verse 1: Hands One]
Yo i was eighteen last night, nineteen today
Feeling blessed off my ass i get to turn life's page
On to the next stage as i remain unphased
From a boy to a man god damn said my old man
Asked me if i'm learnin' answers to life's questions
Yen sorta maybe, no babies, still testin'
Still wrestlin' on this floor mat called earth
Ill-destined since the day of my birth
I got rappers chokin' on images they want to be
They stumble on to me and start knockin' on mahogany
Manifested in ninety three so on to infiniti
Gettin' productive with my capsule thru my spirit g
It's that crate scavenga, prophet like a damaja
Often off the camera i'm buildin' like the panama
Ain't just here for the moment, cinematic backdrops
Legacy's the ocean, you've heard a raindrop
[Bridge: Hands One]
Uh one two y'all
And it don't stop rock rock
Yea and it don't quit
Uh one two y'all
And it don't stop rock rock
Yea and it don't quit
[Verse 2: Hands One]
Classic hit, father time on my wrist
Mother nature in my spliff as I'm lacin' the riff
More comes out then comes in like I'm livin' on air
Pay me with your time, do you got a second to spare
Man this human experience tends to get wicked
Reach out to that person who just keeps slippin'
Avoid your negatives tho they might seem positive
Wasn't a normal kid, live'd life it's my prerogative
I got a girl that loves me but she really don't kick it
Now we both got lives and back in school it was different
Girl left job lost struggles hit a soft spot
Mic check don't stop troubles gotta kick rocks
Gotta be frank man don't do it for the franklins
I bring it from the soul what the heavens you thinkin'
Even when I'm starvin' no money in my pockets
No no no money in my pockets
[Bridge: Hands One]
Uh one two y'all
And it don't stop rock rock
Yea and it don't quit
Uh one two y'all
And it don't stop rock rock
Yea and it don't quit
[Verse 3: Hands One]
If i die tomorrow this song's here to stay
When my spirit floats away y'all got somethin' to play
Don't ask me where I'm from or wherever i be goin'
That information dun is somethin' you should not be knowin'
Give me my money yes I'm tryin' to get paid quick
Without buying a pass aboard the industry slave ship
Next thing you know I'm doing corny ass shit
With a horny ass chick nuh unh yo thats it
Family holds me down when tragedy comes around
Beef comes none of my homies make a sound
Think twice of how you earn your bag of rice
Bad friends always givin' the worst advice
Low key gettin' you to spend money on their vice
To live like a god you must first sacrifice
Chop my own beats, live my own rhymes
Hip hoppers like me, shit, a dying kind
[Outro scratches by Hands One]
They say signs of the end is near
I wonder can i walk a righteous path holdin' a beer
Real skills will never die
They say signs of the end is near
I wonder can i walk a righteous path holdin' a beer
Real skills will never die
