Just Keep It Real

"I slept on this couch for weeks to make shit real" -Quelle

Humility is such a beautiful thing that is seemingly so rare in this day and time.

There is a difference between the have and the have nots, but what happens when the have nots try to give off the illusion that they do indeed possess certain things; whether it be business connects, friends in high places, or the money needed to make things happen?

What happens is some people are fooled, those who wish they had those things quickly try to align themselves with you to piggy back off of what they think it is you have and they your name gets dragged through the mud when push comes to shove and you cannot deliver.
That's one side of it. The other side of it is others silently watch from afar, people who saw your potential, your talent and would've reached out if you had some how managed to keep it real.

I will never understand how on an island that is 21X7 some have convinced others that the dirt in their hand is actually gold.
Don't rap about a Benz that you have rent or borrow to put in your video.
Don't glamorize a "vacation" you took that you had to spend on someone's couch until you sweet talked some poor sole into sending you a ticket for you to get back home.
Keep it real!

Life is always sweeter when we can be honest with ourselves.
Fuck what the world thinks.

Quelle talks about his sacrifices, a rarity in this humble guy I've known for years, and not once was there a flicker of remorse or disdain in his voice. He knew the road he chose wasn't going to be an easy one and he in no way tries to glamorize it or how he gets it done.

I listen to this other chick and she's all about that "jet set" life -_- sweet girl please grow up.
Flying coach on borrowed miles or funds is hardly the jet set life.
Reality is reality is reality is reality and only you can change it.

So you slept on a couch until shit started to happen?!?!
That's a story worth hearing! That's inspiration to your fellow country men that want to trod the path that you have undertaken. That is keeping it real!

No one respects the person who is in "ATL" rubbing shoulders with so and so and nothing ever materializes.....
You look like a fraud. Whether you are actual one or not will likely become the subject of many a discussions and I'm pretty sure the odds are not in your favor.

Avoid all of that homie and just keep it real. No one said you had to tell anyone anything to begin with but it's when you choose to share and you lie AND ARE FOUND OUT that you just look so gully. Just let's avoid that eh?

No one is perfect and we all make mistakes but learn from them before it's too late.
