real to the core

cause I’m real to the core, Most can’t handle truth, they too used to fake for sure. When the nights get cold, a lot of people fold, Talk tough in the light, then switch when pressure holds. Pressure make diamonds, watch me shine brighter than the sun, Heart hotter than lava, and I still ain’t on the run. Solid from the start, ain’t no crackin’ what I built, Every scar, every lesson, every ounce of that guilt. You gon’ forever remember what “solid” really look like, Too many switch sides when the road don’t look right. Not too many ride, not too many keep it real, Not too many understand the dreams we tried to build. Deep down in your heart you knew I was the truth, Now the lies faded out and reality came through. Don’t cry now, you chose what you chose, Now you gotta face the mess from the seeds that you sowed. Repeat / Hook: I’m real to the core, that’s something you can’t fake, When the pressure hit hard, I ain’t never did break. Solid like a rock, still standing through the storm, You gon’ remember my name long after I’m gone. People talk loud but they hollow inside, I stayed true to myself, never switched for the ride. Now the truth cut deep, yeah, it hit like a blade, But the real always rise while the fake gonna fade. Pressure make diamonds, and I came out clear, Now you finally seeing what you had when I was near. You can feel that loss, yeah, the silence got loud, ‘Cause a real one stood tall while the fake blended crowds. Final Hook: I’m real to the core, that’s something you can’t fake, When the pressure hit hard, I ain’t never did break. Hotter than lava, still shining through the dark, Forever remembered ‘cause I left it from the heart.
