I don't really know what you mean by "real". But if by "real", you mean honest, then here are some from my favourite rappers:
-Brother Ali
I don't love you, I don't think I ever did
And if you hadn't tried to kill me, I'd have stayed for the kids
-Slug
But I don’t want to go home yet, so I’m gonna talk to my cigarette and that television set
It doesn’t matter what brand or station, anything to take away from the current situation.
Get real they tell me
If only they knew how real this life really gets
I wear my scars like the rings on a pimp
(talking about his dead father)
Give me your opinions I do miss the criticisms
-Kendrick Lamar
I'm tryna learn somethin new
I'm tryna surround myself with people that inspire me
I used to want to see the penitentiary way after elementary
Thought it was cool to look the judge in the face when he sentenced me
Usually I’m drug-free, but shit I’m with the homies
-Eminem
Well guess what, I am dead - dead to you as can be!
Cause you mad enough to scream but you're sad enough to tear
Well, shit, if you believe that, then I'll kill you
It's not that I don't like you
It's just that when I'm not behind the mic, I'm a person who's just like you
Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in they lives
'til they sit and they cry at night wishing they'd die
'til they throw on a rap record and they sit and they vibe
We're nothing to you, but we're the fucking shit in they eyes
-Spoonfull
She fucking hates Brooklyn, I made her stay here
She’ll start packing when the April rain clears
You pretend you feel the muscles, pretend that I don't feel the fat
-Eyedea
And I don't fucking love music I just use it to escape
Welcome to my private hell. There's no one to fight now, enjoy myself
I'd rather drown than ask for help, I wish I was someone else
I was in a rush to grow up, look Mom no cuts
Just a stomach in disgust, and the fear, that I might go nuts this year
-Jay-Z
Motherfuckers say that I'm foolish I only talk about jewels
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it
-Tom Scott
and now that sight of me
the moment I came inside of her, my soul died inside of me
And I don’t wanna die alone, but is that reason enough?
Is there even a reason to love?
Sometimes I don’t even believe in the stuff
Because, as men, we’re never taught to express ourselves
Or better yet accept ourselves
So we're stressing out trying to be anybody except ourselves
-Copywrite
rest in piece those who we lost too soon
They’re all on my mind surprised I haven't lost that too
-J. Cole
And I ain't too proud to tell you
That I cry sometimes, I cry sometimes about it
And you just wanna tell her everything she might need
But in the meantime it's lights please
I'm not tryin to be rude, but I sincerely wanna fuck the taste out of your mouth
