[00:02.30]I do what I wanna do
[00:04.02]
[00:06.91]I say what I wanna say
[00:08.37]
[00:09.03]When I feel, and I...
[00:10.40]
[00:12.09]Look in the mirror and know I'm there
[00:14.02]
[00:14.89]With my hands in the air
[00:16.47]
[00:17.35]I'm proud to say yea
[00:19.24]I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[00:23.25]
[00:23.82]I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[00:28.32]
[00:28.87]I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[00:33.39]I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[00:37.88]
[00:39.42]I promise that I know you very well
[00:41.36]Your eyes never lie even if they tell
[00:43.39]Sweet lullabies that come with a smell
[00:45.88]Of a dozen roses flippin' down the green hill
[00:48.33]You living in a world that come with plan B
[00:50.57]Cause plan A never relay a guarantee
[00:53.09]And plan C never could say just what it was
[00:56.04]And your plans only can pan around love
[00:57.83]You love him, you love them, you love her
[01:00.03]You love so much, you love when love hurts
[01:02.44]You love red-bottom and gold they say queen
[01:05.18]You love hand-bag on the waist of your jean
[01:07.57]You love french tip and trip that pay for
[01:09.84]You love bank slip that tell you we paid more
[01:12.23]You love a good hand whenever the card dealt
[01:14.61]But what love got to do with it
[01:15.93]when you don't love yourself
[01:17.15]
[01:18.94]I do what I wanna do
[01:20.46]
[01:23.59]I say what I wanna say
[01:25.16]When I feel, and I...
[01:29.13]Look in the mirror and know I'm there
[01:31.63]With my hands in the air
[01:33.06]
[01:34.05]I'm proud to say yea yeah
[01:35.79]I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[01:40.71]I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[01:45.49]I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[01:50.15]I'm real, I'm real,
[01:52.46]（cause before you know it,
[01:54.65]everything's gone）
[01:55.72]
[01:56.26]I promise that I know you very well
[01:58.09]Your eyes never lie even if they fell
[02:00.06]Out the sky and your optics? turn stale
[02:02.05]Where they mow that's green
[02:03.71]I can see you fit the bill
[02:05.15]Of living in a world that come with Plan B
[02:07.23]Cause Plan A only can make another mistake
[02:09.35]And you can't see success coming from plan C
[02:11.86]When it all breaks you, you still say you love me
[02:14.58]And love them and love when you love her
[02:16.84]You love so much, you love when love hurts
[02:19.17]You love fast cars and their present is old
[02:21.86]You love fast women
[02:22.89]You love keepin' control
[02:23.95]Of everything you love, you love beef
[02:26.52]You love streets, you love runnin', duckin' police
[02:28.69]You love your hood, might even love it to death
[02:31.82]But what love got to do with it
[02:33.03]when you don't love yourself?
[02:33.83]
[02:34.48]I do what I wanna do
[02:37.18]
[02:40.39]I say what I wanna say
[02:42.77]When I feel, and I...
[02:45.51]
[02:46.09]Look in the mirror and know I'm there
[02:48.06]With my hands in the air
[02:49.92]
[02:50.72]I'm proud to say yea
[02:52.77]I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[02:57.35]I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[03:02.21]I'm real, I'm real, I'm really really real
[03:06.94]I'm real, I'm real,
[03:09.18]cause before you know it, everything's gone
[03:12.21]
[03:13.03]The reason why I know you very well
[03:14.56]Cause we have the same eyes can't you tell
[03:17.04]The days I tried to cover up and conceal
[03:19.10]My pride, it only made it harder for me to deal
[03:21.74]When living in a world that come with plan B
[03:24.26]A scapegoat cause plan A don't come for free
[03:26.30]And plan C just an excuse like because
[03:28.35]
[03:28.87]Or the word "but", but what if I got love
[03:31.61]I love them, I love when I love her
[03:33.70]I love so much, I love when love hurts
[03:36.09]I love first verse cause you're the girl I attract
[03:38.59]I love second verse cause your the homie they packed
[03:41.08]Burning like a stove top, they love cooking from scratch
[03:43.58]I love what the both of you have to offer
[03:45.29]In fact, I love it so much
[03:46.67]I don't love anything else
[03:47.61]But what love got to do with it
[03:49.39]when I don't love myself
[03:50.35]To the point I should hate everything I do love
[03:52.79]Should I hate living my life inside the club
[03:55.32]Should I hate her for watching me for that reason
[03:57.77]Should I hate him for telling me that I'm season
[04:00.21]Should I hate them for telling me ball out
[04:02.49]Should I hate street credibility I'm talkin' about
[04:04.38]Hatin' all money, power, respect in my will
[04:07.30]I'm hatin' the fact that none of that shit make me real
[04:10.51]"Kenny, I ain't trippin' off that Dominos anymore,
[04:12.90]just calling, sorry to hear what happen to your homeboy,

[04:20.84]that don't make you a real nigga".
[04:22.94]"Real is responsibility,
[04:23.83]
[04:25.92]real is taking care of your mother****ing family,
[04:27.63]real is god, nigga"
[04:29.24]
[04:30.82]I do what I wanna do
[04:32.51]
[04:35.61]I say what I wanna say
[04:37.02]
[04:37.83]When I feel, and I...
[04:38.92]
[04:40.83]Look in the mirror and know I'm there
[04:42.83]
