Too Real
Foxy's Raw Realities: Brooklyn's Unfiltered Tale
Lyrics
Brooklyn, yo
Brooklyn, setting the scene in the borough.
Eyo, it's the Ill Na Na baby!
Introduction, identifying as the "Ill Na Na" persona.
Brooklyn, let's get it in
Encouragement to get active or engaged in something.
I've been a star since a virgin in highschool
Been recognized as special or exceptional since high school.
Since the age of fourteen I've been a rap bitch version of Mike ???
Been a prominent female rapper since a young age, likening herself to Michael Jackson in his field.
And I don't know how to trust, the church or the rifle
Struggle with trust in religious and moral institutions.
God or the devil, the burner or the Bible
Conflict between opposing forces like faith and violence.
Got a black cloud on me, I've been cursed by my right ones
Feeling plagued by negativity or bad luck from close ones.
I'm back bitches! The retun of ya Idol
Reintroduction as an idolized figure.
F-to-the-O-X, B-double-O
Spelling out her name, emphasizing her identity.
Black hand keep them Lambos and them black Impalas
Associations with luxury cars and a reference to a criminal organization.
I wreck the style homie, ain't a bitch chilla
Confident in her unique style, not afraid to challenge others.
I fucks with gangstas baby, like prince Miller
Preference for associating with gangsters or tough individuals.
And when they locked Tuquan, I felt the East split up
Feeling the impact when someone influential from her area got incarcerated.
He and his Feds, but he left his legacy in killa
Despite incarceration, leaving a strong legacy.
I keep my killaz on that Brooklyn shit
Keeping associates who represent the tough nature of Brooklyn.
Fox ripped the world like the Brooklyn Bridge
Claiming her impact is as significant as the Brooklyn Bridge.
I'm back now, Brooklyn ain't never looked this big
Feeling like a big presence in Brooklyn upon her return.
I hold it down while y'all lookin' for Big
Remaining steadfast while others search for the late Notorious B.I.G.
Next blakka Miss
Hinting at herself as the next big thing in the industry.
I'm in my own fuckin' world, I speak how I feel
Living by her own rules, speaking her mind freely.
Sometimes I feel like I'm just too fuckin' real
Feeling like she's too genuine or authentic at times.
Foxy Brown uh, what the deal is?
Asking what's happening or what's the situation.
They ain' got a clue what we about to do
Anticipating people's lack of understanding of her upcoming actions.
FB! You know what it is
Reaffirmation of identity.
AZ of course
Confirming the presence of AZ, another rapper.
What up boogz? You know I would if I could
Addressing someone by nickname, expressing a willingness to help.
Bring the hood on the V.I., my man from C.I
Mentioning connections and locations, expressing closeness.
Said his ball was in the mess hall witchu at jail time
Discussing experiences in jail with someone.
Lookin' like you was right at your crib in Alpine
Observing the relaxed demeanor of someone who has been in prison.
No signs of a warrior's face
Noticing the absence of signs of a tough life despite prison.
I know you sprayed if your peer wasn't so soft while he helped you escape
Suspecting someone helped during an escape due to their behavior.
But on the real, we never got a chance to build
Regretting not having a chance to talk amidst difficulties.
With all the bullshit somebody shoulda told you to kill
Suggesting the need for self-defense in challenging situations.
To the steel, so many rappers lost they mind
Noting how many rappers lose themselves in the music industry.
Like twentyfive to life never forced they mind
Comparing the industry to a prison sentence affecting artists.
Your moms cryin', we spoke, I almost choked
Emotional reaction to hearing about someone's mother crying.
Was there the same day to brought yo ass up in the post
Recalling a specific event related to the person's arrest.
It's getting close, see you soon, sometime in June
Anticipating a meeting in the future.
Utilize the red goons for yo mind to bloom
Suggesting the use of experienced individuals to help someone grow mentally.
A flesh wound always heal, but death that's it
Highlighting the difference between physical and emotional wounds.
I'ma go now, but let that sit
Ending the conversation or message.
