Reality by Chuckie Akenz

Reality by Chuckie Akenz

This is the first music video released by Chuckie Akenz in almost 2 years. In the video “Reality,” he shows how difficult times can arise in our lives from our jobs to our family to school. How we deal with these difficult times may not always be the best ways. If you got dreams, keep pursuing them and don’t give up through the rough patches. It’s also the first music video to be created from the mind of Chuckie with the editing help of Loc D.

Lyrics to Reality by Chuckie Akenz

i wasn’t born with it, so i gotta go n get it/
but how to get it, when you lost, broke and under fedded/
although im headed in directions that could have me deaded/
…but once i said it, cant go back until the day i get it/
and so im chasing a dream, thats seems impossible/
while homies chasing the cream, you know i keep the rocket bro/
up in the studio, or places where the artists go/
its getting harder though, feel like ima father yo/
these days of youth so many troubles to blame/
remember going all out for a ounce of fame/
so im in love with the game, i give a fuck if i aim/
so high, beyond stars like aerial planes/
but what i start i finish, like daytime minutes/
what i live cant mimic in no rap song gimmick/
anger and then confidence, blasting no arguements/
my gun claps back at the stage just like an audience/

hook
in Native language

cuz fuck i done seen it, so these days is real hazey/
gotta smoke alotta blunts, to keep the thoughts out daily/
cuz shits its got me thinking, like that little light thats blinking/
cuz shit we barely living, on these streets unfairly prisoned/
where we working in the plant, or holding the street corner/
just answering phones, or home grow marijuana/
you just doing what you know best, staying alive/
and i can never hate a person who just tryna survive/
so yes i done told em, . life is no warning/
cuz things change quick …like snow to autumn/
if things dont switch, then guess you falling/
you grind real hard and maybe you balling/
got dreams, chase em, never give it up/
cuz the minute you stop is the moment you fucked/
see i know whats been wrong, we been chasing so long/
just know the nights darkest before you see the dawn/
