Lyrics

If it ain't real, it ain't me

If it's not authentic, it doesn't represent who I am

If I ain't toting that steel

If I'm not carrying a firearm

I might get killed on my streets

I face the risk of being killed on the streets

If you from the NO

If you're from New Orleans (NO), you understand what I mean

You know what I'm talking bout

Referring to the harsh realities of life in New Orleans

Send me to jail, I post bail I'ma make it out

If arrested, I'll pay bail and ensure my release


Put a six im out this bitch

Expressing a desire to leave a dangerous situation

Posted bearly, imploting shit

Being cautious, possibly involved in illegal activities

Hitting lickz, stashing bircks

Committing thefts, hiding drugs

Never stoppin with the shit's

Continuing risky behavior

Come up bout my pocket quick

Quickly making money for personal gain

Pop lock and drop your click

Engaging in confrontations

223 i never miss, rocket launcher hollow tip

Refers to a powerful firearm and ammunition

Kill em where he stays, kidnap the fam

Committing violent acts, possibly kidnapping

Hang em outside, im the lord of the land

Asserting dominance over a territory

Smoke this taliban, think im ready now

Using violence against perceived enemies

Break you up like is the levies

Causing harm similar to the breaking of levees

I got the heavy now

Possessing significant power or weaponry


If it ain't real, it ain't me

Reiteration of the importance of authenticity

If I ain't toting that steel

Emphasizing the need for carrying a weapon

I might get killed on my streets

Highlighting the danger of life on the streets

If you from the NO

Addressing those familiar with New Orleans

You know what I'm talking bout

Continuing the theme of urban struggles

Send me to jail, I post bail I'ma make it out

Reaffirming determination to overcome challenges


Say they bout it they don't want it

Critiquing individuals claiming toughness but avoiding conflict

Drum mag for my oponents

Referring to a large-capacity gun magazine

Second line, i don't know your homies

Being cautious about associations

In my prime but no one know me

Feeling unnoticed despite being in their prime

Catch me moving sosa slowly

Moving cautiously like the famous drug lord

Slip a benzo in my cold drink

Indicating potential substance abuse

Kill em and forget em by the morning time

Showcasing a lack of remorse for violent actions

Sun rise sippin sizzurp with a hit of lime

Describing a hedonistic lifestyle with drug use

Couple slams

Engaging in criminal activities in the eastern part of the city

Out the east hit you for serving time

Committing crimes and facing imprisonment

Ima dog ima beast when im getting mine

Expressing aggressiveness in pursuing personal gain

Got some pour like the leash

Having a tough exterior like a restrained animal

Yeah im grippin mine

Asserting control over one's life


If it ain't real, it ain't me

Reiteration of the importance of authenticity

If it ain't If it ain't real, it ain't me

Emphasizing the significance of being real

If it ain't If it ain't real, it ain't me
