No deal fo real

[Intro

Yeah

Uh-huh

Mutha fuckas thought they had me locked down!

Verse 1

Came from the bottom where the pavement don't forgive

Every dollar that I earn they try to take a piece out off the way I live

Won't sign my name on their paper thought I made it out the trenches

Wanna own my catalog and count all my expenses

Shady suckas in suits with dirty hands

Promise you the world then they switch up all your plans

I been grinding on my own no label on my back

Built this whole thing from the bottom of the map

Pre-Chorus

They wanna own my voice

They wanna steal my choice

But I ain't signing nothing

That don't respect my noise

Chorus

Independent till I die that's the code that I live

They can keep their dirty contracts I got nothing to give

If it don't make dollars then it don't make sense

Built it from the ground up so I'm keeping every dollar every cent

Post-Chorus

No deal fo' real

I keep it mutha fuckin' real

No deal fo' real

I keep it mutha fuckin' real

Verse 2

They clone my sound and sell it to a puppet on a string

But you can't replicate the hunger that a broke man brings

Ghost writers in the credits while they mute my real story

They want the vibe without the pain without the struggle without the glory

Every stream a fraction every play a little theft

But I still own my masters that's the one thing I got left

Saw the fine print tried to trap me in a cage

Burned the whole contract down and I walked off the stage

Pre-Chorus

They wanna own my voice

They wanna steal my choice

Survival in the streets is fifty fifty

Put me in a corner and im bringing the noise

Chorus

Independent till I die that's the code that I live

They can keep their dirty contracts I got nothing to give

If it don't make dollars then it don't make sense

Built it from the ground up

so I'm keepin' every dollar every cent

Post-Chorus

No deal fo' real

I keep it mutha fuckin real

No deal fo real

I keep it murha fuckin real

Bridge

You can copy every style but you can't clone the soul

You can buy the whole industry but you can't buy me or take my control

All that shade you throwin' is gonna fade away

The machine might hold the paper but I hold the flame

Chorus

Independent till I die that's the code that I live

They want a slice of the pie but I got nothing to give

If it don't make dollars then it don't make sense

Built it from the ground up so I'm keepin' every dollar ,every cent

Post-Chorus

No deal fo real

I keep it mutha fuckin real

No deal fo real

Keep it mutha fuckin real

No deal fo real cuz I am the real deal

They thought I could bought , thought thatthey could steal

All the sacrifice , everything it cost paid with my blood , sweat and tears the message I bring forth

Can't be bought , never sell my soul

Independent till I die , you cannot afford
