**Verse 1 (16 bars)**
I can spot a fake smile from a mile away
See the envy in your eyes when I’m in my lane
You applaud when I’m up, disappear when I fall
That ain’t love, that’s a fair-weather call
I done broke bread with some cold-hearted dudes
Shared dreams, shared pain, shared food
But when the pressure hit, they folded quick
Turned solid gold into counterfeit
It’s a cold game, gotta play it smart
Keep a small circle, guard your heart
‘Cause everybody screaming “bro” ain’t kin
Some just waiting on the chance to win
Off your back, off your grind, off your shine
Smile in your face while they crossing the line
But the truth don’t hide, it reveal in time
And the fake fall off when the real ones climb

**Chorus (8 bars – Male R&B hook)**
Real recognize real, that’s the code we live
You can’t fake that fire that the real ones give
When it’s love, it’s love, no disguise, no mask
You can see it in the soul, you don’t gotta ask
Through the struggle and the meals we miss
Through the tears and the risk we take for this
When the pressure hit and the truth revealed
Only real recognize real

**Verse 2 (16 bars)**
I done seen street legends turn into rats
All that tough talk fade under them stats
Courtroom shaking, pointing fingers fast
Singing like a choir ‘bout the shady past
But the ones that stood tall, never made a sound
Even when the judge tried to break ‘em down
That’s integrity, that’s heart, that’s code
Even in a cell, that’s a king on a throne
You can’t buy respect with a chain or a watch
Or a rented car parked on the block
It’s how you move when nobody see
When you could take dirt but you keep it G
I don’t need validation from a fake ass crowd
I’d rather die broke than be fake and loud
So if you solid, I salute your will
‘Cause the fake gon’ fade when the real stand still

**Verse 3 (16 bars)**
From the block to the boardroom floor
Same rules apply, ain’t nothing more
Loyalty tested when the stakes get high
That’s when the true colors rise to the sky
I done had enemies show more respect
Than some day-one homies I used to protect
Life funny like that, no lie
Sometimes strangers the ones that ride
But I learned to listen more than I speak
Watch how they move when the times get bleak
If they celebrate you when you at your worst
That’s a blessing you better put first
‘Cause the world full of actors playing a role
Selling they morals, trading they soul
But the real stay grounded, firm and still
And the real gon’ link with the real for real

**Outro (6 bars)**
Yeah…
No costume, no cap
Just scars and truth
If you solid, you don’t gotta prove it
Energy don’t lie
Real ones feel it
Real recognize real.
