52 bars, 12 instrumentals, 1 take. Or as we like to call it: just another day. In a time where DJ's only press play and rappers overdub their own lyrics to make sure they remember them, we figured we'll show y'all how it's supposed to be done!
To celebrate the vinyl re-issue of The Realism we put together a little video. The video consists of a live set which features all the instrumentals from "The Realism" in the order they appear on the album, with new rhymes that give you some insight to the different tracks. (For lyrics, see below.)

LYRICS
It's Pro and ak, dope beats and dope cuts
just trying to break even with hopes to go plus
mic killer for hire, y'all feeling the fire
on this beat that the late great Dilla inspired, rest in peace
I'm about to travel with the mind
battling with time but I'm magic with rhyme
when i drop men, fuck a top ten I'm top three
there's Chords and theres Promoe, and after them you got me
thats guaranteed, you know I got the real shit
Pro and Ak connect like Jazzy Jeff and Will Smith
we're catching wreck with ill shit
in a business where theres not many rappers left to build with
I never dreamt of stacking dough
I was just a little kid, sitting trying to catch the flow
fifteen years gone by, now I'm a rapping pro
back in 0, five i hooked up with Ak to show, y'all the realism...
Now let me tell you about the place were I grew up
young kids sipping liqour, hoping for a new buzz
nowadays I ain't really hanging with crew much
spellbound by l town, common and throw your dues up
We did it though, bright lights make the city glow
flow tight like our outfits in that video
We keep doing it, keep true with it
over ill beats that the streets keep moving with
cant stop, wont stop, no surrender, no retreat
flow unique over beats, hot without holding heat
shoulders keep straining, peep game and chill out
still about to let you know we always choose the real route
peace to Adams-ray
for keeping it soulful like Donny Hathaway
to win you gotta take a chance, so we're always making plans
and after our live shows were out there shaking hands
with our fam from all over the world
no matter where you're coming from your number one, thats my word word, we always write something with a message
no matter whats the topic that will always be the essence
don't front, better slow down like Brand Nubian
we're about to rock, like Sadat, yeah I'm moving in
better run the other way, listen what your mother say
cause for me and Ak, its a fact, its just another day
another day another flow to perfect
thought i told you we're as cold as it gets
ice cold, with every microphone I might hold
words are like gold, give the verse the right mode
as we move on to the last track
flashbacks, the vinyls is out, you need to blast that
as we take flight, I don't know where we land
over two years has passed yet here we stand
I rep that boom-bap with every verse I write
one persons hobby is another persons life
wanna cop our CD's, our LP's and our merchandise
then proandak.com is the perfect site... peace.
