rrr real recognize real

August Alsina

Rollin through the city with the top down
Burner on my hip so they don t draw it down on me
Haters talkin shit, fuck what they talkin bout
On the road to being great, I heard it get real lonely
Used to grind for a dinner, I m a slave to it
I can t let em take away what I done gave to it
I done came from being broke, look what I made from it
I ain t givin up cause I know better days comin

Heard that people fake their way up to the top (That ain t me)
Got a little, but they say they got a lot (That ain t me)
Every day, they fish tailin off the lot (That ain t me)
Braggin bout a bag that they ain t even got (That ain t me)
Where I m from, I know some niggas that ll kill for it
See the life you claim to livin , they ll steal for it
All that flexin bout a check, don t make me feel nothin
Fuck a set, I m representin for the real ones

One time for the real nigga
Two times for the dealers and the go-getters
Two strikes, but you out there on the block
Gettin money is the only job you got
You know real recognize real and that s real
You know real recognize real and that s real
You know real recognize real and that s real
You know real recognize real and that s real

I ain t always had a mansion in the Hills, nigga
You should never have to question, I m a real nigga
I ain t never goin back to life before, nigga
Dead broke, I was sleepin on the floor, nigga
I used to grind for a meal, but now I m fed, nigga
I used to beg for a spot to lay my head, nigga
I used to dream that my gift would get me out
Pray to God, askin what this all about

Heard that people fake their way up to the top (That ain t me)
Got a little, but they say they got a lot (That ain t me)
Every day, they fish tailin off the lot (That ain t me)
Braggin bout a bag that they ain t even got (That ain t me)
Where I m from, I know some niggas that ll kill for it
See the life you claim to livin , they ll steal for it
All that flexin bout a check, don t make me feel nothin
Fuck a set, I m representin for the real ones

One time for the real nigga
Two times for the dealers and the go-getters
Two strikes, but you out there on the block
Gettin money is the only job you got
You know real recognize real and that s real
You know real recognize real and that s real
You know real recognize real and that s real
You know real recognize real and that s real
