Just tryin' to keep it real, nonfiction
Been tryin' to build it up, but where my bricks been
'Cause I've been countin' sheep, and I've been losin' sleep
'Cause two plus two doesn't equal three
Guess I need four, guess I need to do more
Feel like I'm drivin' and my tire's been punctured
But I don't ever spare, I only strike
And I never fade, I'm always bright
Here we go, I've gotta show that
I've got much more
Give it all until I'm on the floor
Prove to them that I am full of heart
So guess what I wanna do, this is what I'm gonna do
(CHORUS)
You know I'm tryin' to be genuine
You know I'm tryin' to say what's in my heart, you know
You know I'm tryin' to be genuine
You know I'm tryin' to say what's in my heart, you know
Maybe I'm too real, they just don't get it
They're backs turned to me, can't see where I'm headed
But we be-wedded, and I ain't breakin' my vow
Droppin' songs in every language 'til I'm world renowned
'Til I give 'em hope, 'til I give 'em perspective
When I open my heart, I'm very selective
I pick and choose, set my ride on cruise
I guess changin' opinions must be my muse
Here we go, I've gotta show that
I've got much more
Give it all until I'm on the floor
Prove to them that I am full of heart
So guess what I wanna do, this is what I'm gonna do
(CHORUS)
You know I'm tryin' to be genuine
You know I'm tryin' to say what's in my heart, you know
You know I'm tryin' to be genuine
You know I'm tryin' to say what's in my heart, you know
Uh, I'm tryna say whats in my heart not my brain
I'm tryna stay up out the dark and the pain
I find a way to play the part of the brave
In the dark in the rain, I'm a slave to my chains
Cyclical thoughts in the littlest box
While the envious watch as I creep to the top
But the easiest part is to breathe in the box
Spittin' heavier bars than the general population
I ain't got no time for hatin' but procrastination
And the time I've wasted, givin’ all my paper to the slave creators
These paper scrapers who engage the faithless, but today it’s changin'
That's all she wrote
That's all I got, I'll either climb or choke
You wonder why these are the words I chose
It's all real, from the heart, like I talk in prose
And you know
(CHORUS)
You know I'm tryin' to be genuine
(just trying to be genuine)
You know I'm tryin' to say what's in my heart, you know
(yeah you know)
You know I'm tryin' to be genuine
(just trying to be genuine)
You know I'm tryin' to say what's in my heart, you know
