Real Out Here - K Rino

Listen it’s real out here, nothing becoming easy

What’s the deal out here, people be acting greazy

Been a long while since we had a good hot dinner

We chasin' money but that money went as fast as a sprinter

It’s gettin' wild in these streets, they say that we crazy

But y’all the ones building the prisons to lock up our babies

Tough to get ahead when somebody’s pressing us back

You created the ghetto, man, how you expect us to act?

He got a pistol on him plus in his truck a machine gun

Hard to learn to be a man if I never seen one

Daddy locked up, yeah, they sent them people to get him

Now it won’t be long 'til his son is in there with him

No groceries in the house so he out here prowlin'

How I’ma concentrate in class if my stomach is growlin'?

No strategy, waitin' for the problems to pass

Hard to play outside around broken bottles and glass, listen

It’s real out here

What’chu know about it?

I said it’s real out here

Y’all ain’t livin' this

Y’all don’t care ‘bout how we feel out here

Never have, never will

All these years and we still out here

Still out here, c’mon

Plot and plan when the sun’s out and move at night

They got dropped in this grease, they ain’t choose this life

Hard as hell tryna make a way beyond odds

You see thugs when you look at ‘em, I see young gods

You see criminals and drug dealers headed for jail

I see poor people tryna fight they way out of hell

Dirty projects full of roaches, maybe some rats

You know how hard it is tryna raise a baby in that?

Any hopes, any dreams get canceled fast

Y’all mad ‘cause baby girl flippin' stamps for cash

You say they hustlin' the system to produce a

But y’all complaining ‘bout a situation you created

Enemies necessary to obtain some loot

Dice game on the court, kids can’t even hoop

It ain’t nothin' to hear some gunshots flyin' around

Picture a five year old seein' a dead guy on the ground

Watch it

It’s real out here

What’chu know about it?

I said it’s real out here

Y’all ain’t livin' this

Y’all don’t care ‘bout how we feel out here

Never have, never will

All these years and we still out here

Still out here, c’mon

Stress on the mind, ain’t too many beautiful times

Twenty-nine cars ridin' in the funeral line

Mama’s packed in the county tryna see loved ones

Broken hearted parents burying they teenage son

Over nonsense somebody we know gets killed

And if the streets don’t get you then the police will

Catching cases on a daily basis, stressed with life

CPS snatching our children left and right

Hood fights every night, tension live on stage

Opioids in the hood now, this ain’t no phase

Never had nothing so he pullin' moves and stunts

‘cause he wanted to have some name-brand shoes just once

And half the school teachers talkin' out the side of they neck

They don’t care about the children, they just gettin' a check

And most people that can help us be turnin' they back

Until you see it in your neighborhood, then you react, listen

It’s real out here

What’chu know about it?

I said it’s real out here

Y’all ain’t livin' this

Y’all don’t care ‘bout how we feel out here

Never have, never will

All these years and we still out here

Still out here, c’mon
