It Gets Real

from Brace Yourself (2012) by john wesley

lyrics

I’m paranoid about being misinterpreted
And misunderstood as if it’s even an emergency
At the most I’m a fragile mind
You can choose to believe demons don’t exist; I battle mine
Far from a battle cry, but to cry is casual
They say “come as you will, but treat you like an animal”
feel like I have something to prove; it’s a matter of pride
life and my decisions - this disaster of mine
Rap is all I have and I don’t think you understand
It’s the only chance I have to become a man
You can call it obsessed, immature, or ridiculous
But it’s unreal that Beau and I’s dreams would ever get to this
Going from a pen and paper there’s no pausing in-between
A microphone, a stage, and relating to audiences dreams
Couples that prior to the concert were probly distancing
And maybe the presence that I feel upon me isn’t me

I GOT A NICE FLOW, I GOT HOT BEATS
I GOT A DOPE CHAIN, I’M A BOSS G
I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU, FEEL ME?
WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN IT GETS REAL

Majority of trust is empty and subsequently
I wonder if everything happens for a reason blaming it on luck is tempting
What if venting was not allowed?
Stop everything you’re doing you’re upsetting the crowd
Line by line, show the frequency of my mind
Hearing it in my words or seeing it in my eyes
This is me sharing my faith
We believe in anything like we don’t care if it’s fake
What a shame, this faith is straight wasted (wasted)
When, salvation is the only motivation
Do you get my anger, it kills me to wonder
What if for the suffering we were willing to suffer?
Yeah, everybody’s in a God-crisis
And We pretend like giving ten and keeping ninety isn’t lop-sided
Come to church; feel better about you and your sin
And when you need it in a week, come and do it again

I GOT A NICE FLOW, I GOT HOT BEATS
I GOT A DOPE CHAIN, I’M A BOSS G
I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU, FEEL ME?
WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN IT GETS REAL

Been hit hard enough by life to break bones?
Take an oath for what you want; are you safe – no
You can’t run, life will grab you and take hold
it will stare you down and make you be thankful
all alone get a call from a pay phone
“listen, you’re baby sister, she’s on her way home”
No! I just held her, laid her in her cradle
Now we have to lay her in her grave only a day old?
They say they know how we feel even though we know they don’t
It’s why I find you saying “I’m sorry” distasteful
Don’t want to wait a lifetime to be with my angel?
But I wait a whole rainstorm just for a rainbow?
That’s what happens when suicidal becomes a label
No longer a rumor when imagination is playful
Depression will be either inspiring or fatal
Pain will straight up put you to sleep; tienes sueño.

I GOT A NICE FLOW, I GOT HOT BEATS
I GOT A DOPE CHAIN, I’M A BOSS G
I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU, FEEL ME?
WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN IT GETS REAL
