About This Track

‘real’ by clipping. is a 2013 Hip-Hop/Rap track from the album ‘midcity’. The lyrics adopt an acid, relentlessly transactional tone, rattling off a cycle of self-improvement and self-destruction. Early verses rail against “Fuck time, young forever”, then catalogue a run of status-chasing outcomes, from money-making to violence and humiliation, with repeated phrases that keep the momentum grinding forward. It is a hard-edged portrait of life as a treadmill of deals, damage, and escalation.

"real" is a track by clipping., from the album midcity, released 5th February 2013. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

real

[Verse 1]

Fuck time, young forever

Get money, get money, don't get better

Get dead, get martyred, get stupid

Get high, get low, get useless

Get up, get beat down

Get a deal, get a camp, get around

Get a main bitch and a mistress

Get a tattoo, get a face lifted

Get a whip, get two

Get three, fuck actin' brand new

Get money, get money, don't get better

Fuck time, young forever

[Chorus: Ezra Buchla]

Real

[Verse 2]

Fuck fame, keep it one hundred

Get money, get money, then stay blunted

Get a stash house, get a trousse

Get a runner, get some knocks, get a new connect

Get a Jesus piece, get some church shoes

Get a good taper, get a good dude

Get your mom a crib and your man's and 'em

Get a lot of kids, give a grands to them

Get an empire, get a driver

Tinted windows, get new attire

Get a name, get it out

Get the game, get the clout

Get money, get money, and stay blunted

Fuck fame, keep it one hundred

[Chorus: Ezra Buchla]

Real

[Verse 3]

Fuck running, stay strapped up

Get money, get money, get backup

Get stupid, get paid, get killers, get laid

Get yours, get faded, get realer

Get a plan, get a hustle, get locked

Get out, get high, hit the block

Get money, get money, get backup

Fuck running, stay strapped up

[Chorus: Ezra Buchla]

Real

[Outro]

Fuck time, young forever

Get money, get money, don't get better

Get money, get money, and stay blunted

Fuck fame, keep it one hundred

Fuck fame, keep it one hundred

Get money, get money, and stay blunted

Get money, get money, get backup

Fuck running, stay strapped up
