When you meet someone new whether male or female one word that they automatically use to describe themselves is “Real”. They always say that I’m as “Real” as it gets, I always say whats on my mind. Well today my question is where are the real people when stuff gets real in your life? Where are they when you are going through your problems and you need some “Real” encouragement? You will notice that the same people who have always been there will remain. Those are the people who didn’t have to claim their “Realness” because it was already proven through their actions.
Track 10 on J.cole’s Album (Cole-World Sideline Story) is a song called Lost Ones. Lost Ones is a perfect example of a man being there for a woman when it was time for dating, sexing, and etc…but when she ended up pregnant he wanted the quick way out. What happened to the previous man who was always there? He acted like she got pregnant by herself.
She said nigga you got nerve
To come up to me talkin’ bout abortion
This my body nigga so don’t think you finna force shit
See I knew that this is how you act, so typical
Said you love me, oh, but now you flipping like reciprocals
There are so many examples of “Real” people not being there when its really time for them to be there, this is just one example. The crazy thing is that people can really fool you because you will have no idea that they will treat you a certain way because they always treated you good at first. Have ya’ll ever been in a situation where you were going through something and a friend or family member bailed on you? Express it!
