lyrics

Hey, you can taste it 'cause it's in good taste.
I might be wasted, but I'm not a waste.
There ain't no place where I feel out of place.
'Cause when I face someone, I face their face.

I keep it real,
I keep it real.
I don't conceal the feelings that I feel.
I keep it real,
I keep it real.
You ask me why, well, that's just how I deal.

Some call me young; some call me old.
I call in sick when I come down with a cold.
I'll be brand new in a day or two,
But spreading love is all I want to do.

I keep it real,
I keep it real.
I don't conceal the feelings that I feel.
I keep it real,
I keep it real.
You ask me why, well, that's just how I deal.

I've got a girl; she is so fine.
She knows I'm hers, yeah, and I know she's mine.

We never drink, we never smoke,
But when we're making love we go for broke.

I keep it real,
I keep it real.
I don't conceal the feelings that I feel.
I keep it real,
I keep it real.
You ask me why, well, that's just how I deal.

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

And, sometimes, I get in trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble, oh...
For bursting somebody's bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble, oh...
'Cause just like my stubble, stubble, stubble,
I can be too rough.
So I apologize.
Look up, we've still got clear blues skies...

Spend half my days stuck between trucks,
'Cause in L.A., you know, the traffic sucks.
But I don't curse, no I don't shout;
Just turn the speakers up and belt it out:

I keep it real,
I keep it real.
I don't conceal the feelings that I feel.
I keep it real,
I keep it real.
You ask me why, well, that's just how I deal.

I keep it real,
I keep it real.
I don't conceal the feelings that I feel.
I keep it real,
I keep it real.
You ask me why, well, that's just how I deal.

That's just how I deal.
I keep it real.
I keep it real.
That's just how I deal.
