Stay Real Lyrics By Erick Sermon

    it’s on breaker mike checkin’
    flexin no half steppin
    when i release the funky weapon
    like ricochet ping ping ping
    i make fans fell it even when i sing
    the green eyed bandit coming funky with the tune yes
    i’m blowing up like tom berenger in platoon
    i’m playing kinda ruff like zapp
    whapp and edouble smack to all the crossover raps black
    who ain’t down with the format
    when you should be wearing khakis and not dress slacks
    that’s wack
    you trippin you better wake up and smell the coffee
    and then back up off me
    i serious i can’t believe some people letting frontiers in
    and then compare them equal boy you must be buggin
    you lucky you don’t catch a slug in the chest in
    from the smith and wessons
    change the out look
    change the cover of the book
    you hip hop crook and give back what you took
    it’s the funk coming at cha
    so don’t let the crossover catch ya
    boy stay real

    hook
    you better wake up and smell the coffee
    stay real
    you better wake up

    it’s on again yeah about the fake hip hop trends
    for those who can’t comprehend just ask your friends
    they know the real deal of rap music
    the fronting you can’t be talking loud and saying nothing
    you must be true to the game you understand
    and if not i could kill you man
    for being false plus extra fake on the tape
    talking hardcore when you soft like a piece of cake
    you can’t put nothing pass me that horrendous
    because i’ve been here since strictly business
    the era of eric b and rakim biz
    public enemy rundmc whodini
    the beasties stetsa fresh prince and jazzy jeff
    ll when he was rockin bells
    sucker which fake emcee is rearranging the structure
    ban the motherfucker
    and don’t let this happen again
    cause rap could be gone the wind
    so stay real

    hook
    you better wake up and smell the coffee
    stay real
    you better wake up

    yes i’m back black for those who might be confused
    and lost and don’t wanna pay the cost
    of an mc hardcore style type of human being
    on the microphone when i be emceeing
    some fake the funk and main source know it
    how do i know because mtv shows it
    clowns that should be beat down on the spot
    and catching nothing but speed knots the bumbadots
    i insist we veto all fake emcees
    and wannabes that’s worst than the aids disease
    so wake up like a spike lee joint
    and don’t be a knucklehead get to the point word ’em up
    with the funk and pump up the volume
    make the wild tune to make the party boom
    peace to redman the rap funkadelic
    the only emcee that’s compared to erick because i’m real

    hook
    you better wake up and smell the coffee
    stay real
    you better wake up

    peace and im outta here
    def squad
    nineteennineties
    melo in the house word
    to the fucking year 000
    000 word up
