Testo That Real - Oddisee
Testo della canzone That Real (Oddisee), tratta dall'album People Hear What They See (Commentary Version)
Before I knew what I was doing I was trying to do something
That's the definition, listen, of a know-it-all youngin
Hard headed, hardly headed in directions I intended
Where I ended was deaded like no exit 'cept the entrance
Now I'm making my entrance as if I'm hopping the fences
Thinking I'm big pimping when really I'm just an infant
Adolescent at best, had a lesson in living
Given to me to stress, then heard it with a vision
Wool over my eyes, blue say it's the sky?
Gray is the truth color, but who sayeth the why?
So do that make me pessimistic if I'm feeling
I'm aight, but the best at this shit?
Niggas say I'm cool, shorties say I'm they lipstick
On the tip of they tongue is my lyrics they whispering
Let's make it apply, right place and the time
Tight spacing and vibe is right relation to rhyme
Might say I'm the prime, life laced in the lime
Bittersweet is the Beatles, together taste is divine
Lemonade in my shine, dimming shade in my blind
Spots in my mirror, forward never rewind
Plots vividly clearer, not saying that I'm
Knowing just what I'm doing, but got faith in my grind
So stop haters you lying, if you saying you get it how I get it
Swab test you fail, can't spit it how I spit it, naw
One of these days, baby, I hope to be
Whatever that means, it's all that I hope to be
One of these days, baby, I hope to be
They saying, "O, bring that real shit, something you can feel shit"
Numb to that dumb it down, spun, overkill shit
Run over hill shit, dated like the fifth wheel
Hate it when they made it, but they praise it just to get deals
Me? Never that, man, that's never happening
See, I be rapping for that feeling I got back when
I was riding on a big wheel
When friends owing me a dollar was a big deal
Sunday night, grandmama cooked a big meal
Meaning that I do it for the innocence of it still
And if I'm naive, fuck it then, shit will
Seem better even though the weather seem chill
Spleen chills at the idea of seeming fake
Even though imitation make mean bills
I mean, innovation will get you recognition
But keep it real is really code for "the check is missing"
And that's cool, cause me, I'm a realist
Optimistically drinking from the glass of the pessimistic
Baby, check it, listen
One of these days, baby, I hope to be
Whatever that means, it's all that I hope to be
One of these days, baby, I hope to be
