The Real by Kuniva Lyrics
[Chorus: Kuniva]
One time for the homies who remain loyal
10 toes down, live and die on the same soil
To all the ladies holdin' down for them real ones
No idea why you love 'em, for some reason you feel 'em
Look, this the first time that I put myself first
My network can never match up to my self worth
Flow tighter than the Nuclear kicks
Soul fire, ghostwriter, I take my loot and I dip
[Verse 1: Kuniva, McVay]
Prolific and stackin' 'em
So you never see a fraction of the shit that I be goin' through
What's the use of showing you?
Don't ask about the crew
I don't know what these niggas' goin' through
I guess we all got personal problems
Tellin' everybody, but the last person seem to know is you
I just got sick of bein' the fuckin' glue
Why we ain't have another album, Em gave you a clue
Let's just say niggas ain't do what they supposed to do
It's cool, I love them dudes, I still kick it time to time
I sit with Em and reminisce and chop it 'bout some rhymes
I barely hop in pics with him, yo, I ain't tryna shine
Whatever I need he got me, and that's the bottom line
Everything we got going here's our business
They want me up in interviews pointing fingers and yappin' off like a star witness
But, back to rap, every bar's vicious
McVay got somethin' to say:
Man, fuck y'all bitches
[Chorus: Kuniva]
One time for the homies who remain loyal
10 toes down, live and die on the same soil
To all the ladies holdin' down for them real ones
No idea why you love 'em, for some reason you feel 'em
Rock with me for a minute, let me show you the real
Side to side, just vibe, go on and do what you feel
Rock with me for a minute, let me show you the real
Side to side, just vibe, go on and do what you feel
[Verse 2: Kuniva]
They asked what I was feelin' on the day Proof passed
Yo, I'm still askin' God: "How long that day gon' last?"
I remember my wife wakin' me up, tears rollin' down her face
Givin' me that somebody-done-died look (Aww, shit)
Somehow her arms were ready for me, heard the news, I collapsed
I don't know how long 'fore that sound that come out I cried to (God damn)
Outside the hospital, niggas convenin' (Th'fuck's goin' on, man?)
Holdin' court, countin' suspects, sobbin' and screaming (God damn!)
In the distance I could hear some dude ask:
"Damn, I bet there ain't gonna be another album, is it?"
Now, I look at him different
Honestly, everything else is a blur
After seein' Proof laying there, that's kinda what I prefer (Fo sho)
I wanna keep the image of him as a king standing strong
Feared and loved, a man of his word, anything else is absurd (That's right)
He still shine bright, nobody can never steal Shaun's light (Uh uh)
I swear I can hear his voice on a calm night
[Chorus: Kuniva]
One time for the homies who remain loyal
10 toes down, live and die on the same soil
To all the ladies holdin' down for them real ones
No idea why you love 'em, for some reason you feel 'em
Rock with me for a minute, let me show you the real
Side to side, just vibe, go on and do what you feel
Rock with me for a minute, let me show you the real
Side to side, just vibe, go on and do what you feel
[Verse 3: Kuniva]
Yo, I'm pretty private, I be off on my own
I barely talk on the phone, I be off in my zone
I got my own quirks, I overthink a lot
People mistake it for procrastination, I just be doin' homework
I'm too modest, I don't brag even when I should
I overlook a lotta hoe shit for the greater good
I know I'm 10 times better than half of these niggas gettin' these opportunities
But, I don't sweat it
I know I wrote shit for people and never got the credit
I know behind closed doors a lot of beef I get it
Too many chiefs, everybody wanna be the boss
Secret meetings throwing saw, gettin' double-crossed
Look, when all your peeps stop playin' by the same rules
And then they go like they brand new to brand lose
It's cool, I make them crawl, man moves
No weapon formed against me will prosper
Forever, your man's mood
[Chorus: Kuniva]
One time for the homies who remain loyal
10 toes down, live and die on the same soil
To all the ladies holdin' down for them real ones
No idea why you love 'em, for some reason you feel 'em
Rock with me for a minute, let me show you the real
Side to side, just vibe, go on and do what you feel
Rock with me for a minute, let me show you the real
Side to side, just vibe, go on and do what you feel
One time for the homies who remain loyal
10 toes down, live and die on the same soil
To all the ladies holdin' down for them real ones
No idea why you love 'em, for some reason you feel 'em
Look, this the first time that I put myself first
