SoulChef, Hydroponikz - Keep It Real lyrics

Yo, Hydro, you listening to the sounds of
Ponikz, 'cause we moving like when
We moving some pounds of
Take it how you want it
We buildin' it from the ground up
No beef, no swine
But maybe a little flounder
But still the same
Still nice with the verses
Put my anger on the track that's
Why I'm nice in person
Every lyrics is meticulously carefully worded
And watch them all boppin' their head
To it like it's perfect
On top of that I got a story to tell
Like some of y'all didn't know
How poor he was, well
What you know about eating ramen
Straight out of the package
'Cause the gas is off and
The microwave isn't intact
While your mom working three jobs
To get you in classes
But, you go and spend the money
On a North Face jacket
She always used to tell me soon
I know how it feels
When I'm grown and on my own
She told me to keep it real
'Cause you don't wanna front
On the wrong man, hell no
When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong
Chappelle's show
If you ain't 'bout that life don't
Front like you held those
Or they might throw you more than elbows

So keep it real, keep your cool
Don't be losing yourself
My ladies, you know you're beautiful
Stay true to yourself
And let them know (keep it real)
Keep it real every day
And they can't tell you nothing
Don't listen to what they say (keep it real)
East coast we be keeping it real
(keep it real)
Down south we be keeping it real
(keep it real)
Up north we be keeping it real (keep it real)
West side we be keeping it real

I heard them say my old school vocals
Are so cool, this ain't about old and new
Homie I'm no fool this about good and bad
Just think what we could have had
If we kept challenging the real
World like road rules
CEO's worry when the checks is gone
(they lay you off)
That's why your employees got Netflix on
(we play it off)
Social media keeping us all distracted
Soon the kids will lack the practice
Of being all interactive with each other
Your dinner date on your Twitter page
Sacrificing privacy to show the world
How you better paid
I don't care about your sipping on fine wine
Or In-N-Out Burger pics all on your timeline
E-flossing on your wedding day
No one give a damn to see
How big is your wedding cake
No pics of your family
Y'all puppets in competition
Y'all ignoring me still
Y'all just stay doing your thangs
You swear you keeping it real
Ladies, we love the moves that you dance with
But some of y'all talk about
Like y'all need enhancements
Just know that changing your
Physical can't switch
Who you are now and who you were back then

So keep it real
Know you're beautiful stay true to yourself
My soldiers, keep your cool
Don't be losing yourself
And let them know (keep it real)
Keep it real every day
And they can't tell you nothing
Don't listen to what they say (keep it real)
East coast we be keeping it real
(keep it real)
Down south we be keeping it real
(keep it real)
Up north we be keeping it real (keep it real)
West side we be keeping it real
So keep it real, keep your cool
Don't be losing yourself
My lady, you know you're beautiful
Stay true to yourself
And let them know (keep it real)
Keep it real every day
And they can't tell you nothing
Don't listen to what they say (keep it real)
Hydro, we be keeping it real (keep it real)
Soul Chef we be keeping it real
(keep it real)
Round the world we be keeping it real
(keep it real)
Hip hop while you keeping it real
