lyrics

(Intro / Hook)
How you talking it but ain’t living it?
How you talking it but ain’t living it?
Really, How you talking it but ain’t living it?
Do or die 215 this that authentic ish.

(Verse 1)
Yo, so how you talking it but ain’t living it?
I rep authentic ish, y’all are false imaging.
I spit this for ill witted civilians who stepped their game up from Big Willie to William.
I’m Pro Black, the opposite of Gilliam.
On my Philly Ish like Gillie Da Kid & dem.
Talking nonsense, my man you gotta be kidding him.
Far as authentic I show you all what it really is.
Listen, BIG said the sky where the limit is.
So I go & supply what the realness is.
Only thing flying on my heels are some Timberlands.
Word is my bond, it’s all bout the Benjamins.
Listen, I keep 100 like a C-Note.
Gotta open up ya third eye to go see yo.
I’m from where they let birds fly, desert eagles.
Relaxed, yet on a swivel, keep it tranquilo.
Listen, all grind, there is no cheat code.
Sold not told, Roc Marci on the Reload.
Yeah I’m confident, but no time for an ego.
Cause I’m coming live straight up outta ground zero.

(Hook)
So how you talking it but ain’t living it?
How you talking it but ain’t living it?
How you talking it but ain’t living it?
Do or die 215 this that authentic ish.

(Verse 2)
Staying true to my word.
Keeping it on a bean.
Everything that I say, exactly what I mean.
Hopping fresh off the curb, being me to a t.
I can lead you to the water. Can I make you believe?
Ay listen, you can lean to it rock to it.
I’m from Philly where they prolly shoot a glock to it.
Pro Black, never trust what a cop doing.
Guns on eachother, duke we need to stop shooting.
Outsiders, they would gentrify a block to it.
And there’s a whole lotta nonsense I’m not doing.
And there’s a whole lotta points I’ll never stop proving.
All I know is hustle, I’ll never stop moving.
Life, I learn my lessons from it.
As far as the authentic, I’m the essence of it.
And if it ain’t here yet, then the best is coming.
Look, the honor’s what I represent.
It brought me scars from the decadence.
Keep it 100, more than a dead president.
Let the record set the precedent.
I be about all that I say.
Anchored by the authentic, never going astray.
Keep my head held high at the end of the day.
For the real, I do this for everyday.
It’s more than how you make bread in a day.
See I’m the type you shouldn’t pass up.
As far as the authentic I’m the last one.

(Hook / Outro)
So how you talking it but ain’t living it?
How you talking it but ain’t living it?
Son, how you talking it but ain’t living it?
Do or die 215 this that authentic ish.

So how you talking it but ain’t living it?
How you talking it but ain’t living it?
Yo, how you talking it but ain’t living it?
Do or die 215 this that authentic ish.
Talk to me.
