Kept it Real

No matter what you think I
I did what I was supposed to 
Can't question the love I gave you 
I don't know about your end 
 
Blood sweat and tears on the line for ya
Kept your secrets safe cuz I'm down for you
No matter who it was
They can't hesitate on my name 
I kept it real 
I kept it real 
I kept it real
For the both of us 
I kept it real
I kept it real 
I kept it real 
For the both of us 
I get it 
Your egos hurt 
Can't run from the lessons learned
You just gotta trust your own
Gotta make amends with your home 
Tryna question anything it can't be me
Hiding in the dark
You goin still see me
You cant run away from the truth
The façade that you live goin leave you burned and bruised and
Wasting all your youth and turning friends to loose ends 
Biting more than you can chew and
What you goin do  
I don't understand why you lie
I don't understand why you deny
I don't understand dry your eyes 
I don't understand why you fight
I see right through that
I see right through 
I see right through
I see right through that
Cuz I kept it real 
I kept it real 
I kept it real
For the both of us 
Cuz I kept it real
I kept it real 
I kept it real 
For the both of us 
You let your pride run your life
Can't win the battle inside
Until you heal what's not right 
You looked to me as your guide
But now your feeling consumed
By your emotions and thoughts 
You weren't aware of what's lost
Until I showed you the cost 
I kept it real 
I kept it real 
I kept it real
For the both of us 
Cuz I kept it real
I kept it real 
I kept it real 
For the both of us
