Lupe Fiasco - Real Lyrics






[Lupe Fiasco]
Uhh, Food & Liquor
Yeah, my man said he wanted somethin real..
real.. real.. real.. real
Somethin he could recognize, somethin he could feel..
feel.. feel.. feel.. feel
Baby girl said she was in the mood for somethin real..
real.. real.. real.. real
Somethin that could make her move
Somethin she could feel.. feel.. feel.. feel

Lusssst... sometimes can override trusssst
She said that's why she gave it up
My man said blood spilled out of everything he tou-chhhhed
He crushed everything he crushed
Ruined everything he loved, he just wanted to rushhhhh
Blamed it on the times bein rough
Doin dirt, with the devil, chasin after the dusssst
Make a fussss, if it's them, but we hushhh, if it's us

That's why, my momma said she wanted somethin REAL..
real.. real.. real.. real
Somethin she could be proud of, somethin she could FEEL..
feel.. feel.. feel.. feel
She said they so used to not havin nuttin real..
real.. real.. real.. real
That they don't know how to act
They don't know how to feel.. feel.. feel.. feel

Lifffffe... ain't meant to come around twiiiice
Yeah, that's why I gotta get it right
They said I got it honest now I gotta give it LIFE
But sleep on it, that's why God give you night
I mean, I had a dream that, God gave me FLIGHT
Too fly for my own good so, God gave me plight
If I wake up in the mornin now I gotta give 'em SIGHT
Make 'em see, break 'em free, ain't a G, sho' you right

The game is not to give 'em nuttin REAL..
real.. real.. real.. real
Nothin they could use, nuttin that they could FEEL..
feel.. feel.. feel.. feel
Give 'em a bunch of lies and teach 'em that it's REAL..
real.. real.. real.. real
So that's all that they a-know
That's all that they a-feel.. feel.. feel.. feel

Struggle... yeah yeah, another sign that God love you
Cause on the low, bein po', make you humble
Keep they names in my rhymes to try and keep them out of trouble
Cause bein po', also teach you how to hustle
All they want is some shoes or some rims for they bubble
Now that I got my own, I can hit them with a couple
Couple, my homies so they ain't got no reason to cuff you
That's my plan, if I can, on the man, up above you

That's why, I gotta give 'em somethin REAL..
real.. real.. real.. real
Somethin they could recognize, somethin they could FEEL..
feel.. feel.. feel.. feel
To my homies on the block I gotta give 'em somethin real..
real.. real.. real.. real
Somethin that'll make 'em stop
Somethin they can feel.. feel.. feel.. feel

Yo! For real, really real, yeah!
Know what it is, woo!
Baby girl said she was in the mood for somethin REAL..
real.. real.. real.. real
Let's go!

[Sarah Green - to fade]
So real.. so real..

  29. D.... S....

    Mash this up with You Wa Shock and this will be a banger

  30. D.... R....

    so real

  31. C.... Z....

    Lupe Fiasco really out kicked his coverage on this one. He was one of the most promising young rapper of his generation. Although such potential was never achieved.

    C.... Z....

    Record labels made him dumb his music down. He's still a legend and has released amazing projects

  32. m.... ....

    "Give 'em a bunch of lies, and teach 'em that it's real"

    -Welcome to America

  33. T.... ....

    this is my favourite track from this album. it's just way too feel good and inspiring to me.
    the sample is awesome

  34. L.... C....

    The industry IS NOT a place for Souls...let alone a 'conscious' one... They will water you down, suck the Life out of you, force you to conform...Lyricist such as Lupe, Common, Nas, etc should have their OWN record label named 'conscious records'..or something to that effect!!!

    L.... C....

    Or they could just (re)join Kanye's G.O.O.D music label.

  35. T.... M....

    this track is one of the REALEST raps ever written...very under rated artist

  36. A.... S....

    How the fuck you running ads on somebody else's work?

  37. S.... J....

    Hip Hop

  38. D.... B....

    this album is undoubtedly a hip hop classic. crazy to think Hov executively produced it

    D.... B....

    he did dam. .I didint. know and I don't really like Jay z but he did someone amazing when he did this

    D.... B....

    Daniel Brooks so did kanye and pharrell thats why this album is so great

    D.... B....

    Hov wanted to sign Lupe baddddd! Looking at kanye now maybe he was smart

  39. B.... D....

    love this song

  40. D.... .....

    Give em a bunch of lies and tell em that its real...

    D.... .....

    Teach, my fault

    D.... .....

    +D McCrary same difference... tell them whatever sounds pretty then before you know it it becomes taught as the truth.

  41. e.... ....

    "Struggle, another sign that God love you"

    e.... ....

  62. k.... b....

    5 days later isn't 3 days later... Techs at Youtube hatiing?

  63. k.... b....

    cont...FELL ASLEEP BEHIND THE WHEEL, head broke through the windshield, walked away, while the car was pretty much totaled. I feel both humbled and fortunate to share the above-mentioned facts. It is an honor to share them! Continue to keep up the high quality LUPE!

  64. k.... b....

    LUPE has that SOMETHING! You ever put on some music, ride through town, and see the lyrics from the song come to life? LUPE's music can have that effect. When this cd came out, I put it on, rode 75/85 South in ATL, as the lyrics "My mama said...REAL... she could be PROUD of something she can feel" came through the speakers, a huge white SUV with 4MYKIDS pulled to my left and passed by. Later that evening, in a solo drive from Florida to Ohio, my 19 year old son fell asleep behind the wheel,

    k.... b....

    kismet bridgeforth wtf are you saying?

  65. s.... m....

    This is the realest shit ever!

  66. L.... ....

    2013 tho..still bumpin'

  67. r.... ....

    DAMN! Threw her under the bus! Thats fucked up

  68. V.... ....

    It's simple, yes. If you were real and you were a rapper, you couldn't type up correct sentences online. Therefore, you are not real. You are a bot. Piss off.

  69. A.... B....
