August Alsina

Born and bred from the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, enter into the game, 21-year-old August Alsina... With the love and hustle of the Crescent City running through his veins, August is eager to follow in the footsteps of the NOLA music legends that paved his way. His recently inked deal with Def Jam Recordings looks to be a great step in the right direction, but music wasn't always in his future. August learned at an early age that drugs and money could make you, or break you. With both his father and stepfather battling crack addiction, August's mother moved their family to Houston, Texas in search of a fresh start. But Houston provided no happy ending.

Rollin' through the city with the top down
Burner on my hip so they draw down on me
Haters talkin' shit, f*ck what they talking 'bout
On the road to being great, I heard it get real lonely
Used to grind for a dinner, I'm a slave to it
I can't let 'em take away what I done gave to it
I done came from being broke, look what I made from it
I ain't givin' up 'cause I know better days comin'

Heard the people fake their way up to the top (that ain't me)
Got a little but they say they got a lot (that ain't me)
Every day they fish tailin' off the lot (that ain't me)
Braggin' 'bout a bag that they ain't even got (that ain't me)
Where I'm from I know some niggas that'll kill for it
See the life you claim to live in, they'll steal for it
All that flexin' 'bout a check, don't make me feel nothin'
F*ck a set, I'm representin' for the real ones

One time for the real nigga
Two times for the dealers and the go-getters
Two strikes but you out there on the block
Gettin' money is the only job you got
You know real recognize real and that's real
You know real recognize real and that's real
You know real recognize real and that's real
You know real recognize real and that's real

I ain't always had a mansion in the hills, nigga
You should never have to question I'm a real nigga
I ain't never goin' back to life before, nigga
Dead broke, I was sleepin' on the floor, nigga
I used to grind for a meal, but now I'm fed, nigga
I used to beg for a spot to lay my head, nigga
I used to dream that my gift would get me out
Pray to God, askin' what this all about

Heard the people fake their way up to the top (that ain't me)
Got a little but they say they got a lot (that ain't me)
Every day they fish tailin' off the lot (that ain't me)
Braggin' 'bout a bag that they ain't even got (that ain't me)
Where I'm from I know some niggas that'll kill for it
See the life you claim to live in, they'll steal for it
All that flexin' 'bout a check, don't make me feel nothin'
F*ck a set, I'm representin' for the real ones

One time for the real nigga
Two times for the dealers and the go-getters
Two strikes but you out there on the block
Gettin' money is the only job you got
You know real recognize real and that's real
You know real recognize real and that's real
You know real recognize real and that's real
You know real recognize real and that's real
