Flip Jackson - Keep It Real (Freestyle) [Explicit]

by Flip Jackson

/

about

DGS Records return for week 6 of #THCTuesdays w/ Flip Jackson doing something special going back to his mixtape roots of Freestyles & Remixes to classic Hip Hop Instrumentals. This week Flip continues his vocal booth therapy sessions with "Keep It Real" (Freestyle) over the classic Miilkbone beat.

Flip starts the record off with jokes claiming he's "like Nomar Garciaparra up in this bitch" making fun of the fact he talks with his hands being Sicilian Italian on top of being a "rapper". Flip leads off with "RIP Virgil Abloh, you know what it is" as he jumps head first into his smooth bag of bars and slick talk sharing his experiences of 'Keeping it Real'.

Flip bares a lot of pain, short comings and losses taken along his journey trying to 'Keep It Real' stating "Seen a lot of hell and tho it's probably hard to tell, Had a $40 bail and couldn't bale myself from jail" recalling a time when he was arrested and couldn't afford to bail himself out at the time in lue of the bail so cheap.

Jackson also shows love to his passion for sneakers & fashion with lines like "Js on my feet, Jordan 3's to be exact, White Cement 3's or True Blues with the Black, Catch me on the court in Barkley's with the strap, known to take flight so I keep a Nike Air Bag" and an ode to Boston sneaker culture history with "Superstar status, I'm the one people stare at, Waving at my haters like the signal for a fair catch" and finished off the freestyle with an ode to the power of belief in self and the lessons he learned from the late great Virgil Abloh by leading by example with "Turning dreams into goals, from my soul to my soles, Off-White, No Pyrex word to Virgil Abloh". Stating anything is possible as long as you belief and put in the action to execute on your vision&Dream.

lyrics

“Keep It Real”

Verse 1:

Drinking iced coffee in the cold tryna catch a feel..
Think my heart broken from my dealings in the field..
Seen a lot of hell and tho it’s prolly hard to tell..
Had a $40 bail and couldn’t bail my ass from jail..

True stories when I’m spitting, fuck a perfect image..
candid moments make the best shots in a scrimmage..
I’ve been in it for a minute tryna push the limits..
Living with no limits had me living thru God’s vision..

That’s just how I’m feeling especially as of late..
Finally on food stamps & can’t afford plastic plates..
Struggling to shine you seen the price of toothpaste..
Show love everyday and still wake up to new hate..

It’s still all good never will it be bad..
Long as I’m alive I’ma make magic like Shaq..
Migraine music shit that make your head knock..
Stoned Wearing Flints like Fred making bitches bed rock..


Verse 2:

We smoking LOUD like the sound when the led pop..
Cooling in the cut rolling up like a rest stop..
N if you ask my pops I smoke the best pot..
Pack mad flagrant like gas at a desk job..

J’s on my feet Jordan 3’s to be exact..
White Cements on concrete or true blues with the black..
Catch me on the court in Barkley’s with the strap..
Known to take flight so I keep a Nike Air Bag..

Superstar Status I’m the one people stare at..
Waving at my haters like the signal for a fair catch..
Grinding like I’m global on my mobile for a rare bag..
HellRose on Melrose when I text my Fairfax..

So now it’s tax season, too many people sleeping..
Had to wake em up while I’m out here day dreaming..
Turning dreams into goals, from my soul to my soles..
Off White No Pyrex Word to Virgil ABLOH!
