Real Me Songtext
von 1 Time

We often find ourselves trapped in the closet
Don′t wanna come out
We don't wanna expose ourselves because
You get judged
We judge like our pasts is a clear
Like our titles are free and clear
But we all know we got skeletons in our closet
But just knowing that
I only speak through the music
Try to hide the real me

I can′t let you see the real me
I got a lot of enemies tryna kill me
And you don't like me 'cause I′m the police
But I′m only human once you get to know me
I can't let you see the real me
I got a lot of enemies tryna kill me
And you don′t like me 'cause I′m the police
But I'm only human once you get to know me
I can′t let you


I'd rather tell my life through the music than put it on paper
No matter where you put it, they gon' love it or hate ya
I′m more human than human gets
The mistakes I made don′t put me in a conscious place
Put my past in the closet tryna hide them bones
'Cause people′ll judge you like they did no wrong

Can't let you see the real me, don′t care if you judge
Been hated on my whole life, I won't hold no grudge
Grew up the only child, just me and my thoughts
Try not to be a statistic and dodging the chalk
Being dead at 25 was a viable option
Or either the state pen for selling narcotics

My teacher told me, "Boy, you′re going to jail"

I gave him the middle finger, told him, "See you in hell"

I ain't give a uh, my future wasn't in the forecast
Survival of the fittest when you′re living in the trenches

I can′t let you see the real me
I got a lot of enemies tryna kill me
And you don't like me ′cause I'm the police
But I′m only human once you get to know me
I can't let you see the real me
I got a lot of enemies tryna kill me
And you don′t like me 'cause I'm the police
But I′m only human once you get to know me
I can′t let you


All of my goals focus on staying alive

You can see it in my eyes, the inner will to survive
This profession ain't perfect, neither are you
Don′t categorize us all on the mistakes of a few
This country has seen a lot of turmoil and up and down
But when the smoke clears, the police always around

Through the riots and the city burning
We determined to keep you safe from predators, you the prey
How you don't like me? You don′t even know me
I'm from the south side of Atlanta with drug dealers and gold teeth
Many police are blue collar scholars
Put they life on the line for blue collar dollars

Not looking for love, don′t care if you like me
But don't denigrate the badge just to spite me
You think I'm turning down? That′s highly unlikely
My turn up is survival and I put that on the Bible

I can′t let you see the real me
I got a lot of enemies tryna kill me
And you don't like me ′cause I'm the police
But I′m only human once you get to know me
I can't let you see the real me
I got a lot of enemies tryna kill me
And you don′t like me 'cause I'm the police
But I′m only human once you get to know me
I can′t let you

See, once the uniform comes off and the badge come off
You're left with a human being
A human that′s scarred
A human with a past
A human that deals with emotions just like you
Ups and downs, trials and tribulations
Happiness, sadness, rage
The same emotions you feel, we feel

See, I expose myself to you in organized diatribes
However, you judge me before the facts are verified
See, the phone is the gavel
And the jury are the people that have the phones

I know you don't love me
But I love you and I do the best that I can do
But you remember at the end of the day
That I′m only human just like you
