Keeping It Real

“I’m keeping it real!” That’s your response to every question of your
personality
Explain how you feel, the form maturity, to you, is a formality
What does it mean? Can you even explain?
You say it with such vigor!
It rolls off of your tongue, as does the notorious word, Nigga!”
If this is your defense when confronted with a debate, only intelligence will
rule and your ignorance will be too late
In dealing with other people, “Keeping it real”, may cause intimidation and
irritation
When faced for judgement your life will be seen through and through
There will be no one there at the time, but GOD and you
When he places his hand down to you for judgement, waiting on your response
on how you feel, you’d better hope that GOD believes in your saying,
“Keeping it real!”
