Let's Talk What's Real

Some say the good gotta die
and you ain't a real man if you realize sometimes you gotta cry
some people need haze just to get high
and some single parents make just enough just to get by
so if you feel what I'm saying because you recognize realness
you also know it's hard to walk the hood with ya kids.

Some say a girls a hoe if she sleeps with a dude she just meets. But I disagree
maybe love is in the air or maybe she just don't care
who touches or does whatever to her body
and she wants to use it for show
to each his or her own but I don't know.

Most females think all the good men 
are either locked up, dead, or gay
I doubt that's true to some extent
I could say the same thing bout women but that's irrelevant
but since I'm in some grown man zone 
I think it's only right that I gotta phone home.
