what it is

[Intro] Yeah… Blaze509 Mak Town You know what it is Ain’t gotta tell ’em twice [Hook] Real gangsta now, I move different Talk less, stack more, that's the new mission Came from the dirt, had to learn how to listen Everybody got a story, mine got a whole damn distance Real gangsta now, I stay low-key Ain’t nobody gotta know where I'm gon’ be I done lost some people that was close to me Now the only thing I trust is the code in me [Verse 1] I remember cold nights, trying to make it through the weather Had a dream in my pocket, couldn't keep it together Folks switched sides quick when the pressure got applied So I quit explaining myself and let the silence testify I ain't chasing validation, I done walked through enough Had my back against the wall and still called that shit a bluff From Omak to wherever, I'ma carry where I'm from Every scar became a chapter, every loss became a drum I ain't built for all that talking, I let actions make the noise Had to separate the real from the people playing boys Now I'm moving with intention, every step got a reason If I give you my word, that's a promise, not a season [Hook] Real gangsta now, I move different Talk less, stack more, that's the new mission Came from the dirt, had to learn how to listen Everybody got a story, mine got a whole damn distance Real gangsta now, I stay low-key Ain’t nobody gotta know where I'm gon’ be I done lost some people that was close to me Now the only thing I trust is the code in me [Verse 2] See, the older that I get, the less I gotta prove I don't need another crowd just to validate the moves I've been broke, I've been down, I've been counted out before Still got up every morning and went knocking at the door Now I'm building something bigger than a name on a track Put the pain into the music, put my heart in the facts If they love me, that's cool; if they don't, let 'em go I was born with my direction, I don't need 'em for the road Blaze509, that's the stamp, that's the story, that's the brand Made it out of situations they don't think I'd understand I ain't perfect, I'm just honest about the places I done been Real gangsta ain't the image—it's surviving what you in [Outro] Yeah… That's the difference. You don't gotta announce who you are. Your life already told 'em. Blaze509. Mak Town.
