Story Behind The Song
2714 Basement Studios started out in 2012 with 3 members; Raw Wun, HexiuM, and Poseidon. No Pretend was the first track we ever put together with Corbett's original beat "Just Pretend with Hook"; purchased and tracked out royalty free. I have continued to grow as a beat maker and lyricist but needed to look back at where I started and felt compelled to remix our original beat while showcasing a new broadened range in the tempo of my flow and delivery.

Lyrics
-Intro-
This ain't Pretend it's just 3 grown men,
I guess how far we go I see now that it all depends on which one of us doesn't give up and puts the most time in,
If you're listening now,
You know that I am him,
And he is me, 2714 HexiuM.
-1st Verse-
Three years later I'm now remixing No Pretend,
Everything I do has been a means to an end,
The beginning of my journey I now give it closure,
Now on to phase two fan base I need the exposure.
I've got almost nothing left to lose,
But fuck it you best believe I got everything to prove,
Bronco fan an I'm on my TD shit,
Making the most of an opportunity,
6th round legit,
My faith is in what I make exist,
Raw Wun I'm no believer man but God bless your son,
And MIA Poseidon, you're still my blood,
I promise to hold it down I ain't never giving up.
-2nd Verse-
Time is of the essence I enjoy it rapped in the present,
Been through the bullshit, I can't say it wasn't expected,
I'm better for it I've learned some lessons,
But that's all behind me now it's time to be aggressive,
Gotta continue to contribute to win,
Feeling a little tired but im never spent,
Music with a message is the life I live,
One of few in the underground making sense,
One track, one shot, lets begin,
Hex I am I only win,
Intense looking for clutch I'm it,
Bring your glove to the game cuz I'm swinging for the fence,
Grand slam like a shooting star make your wish,
Alone in the zone making hits!!!
One word description, relentless,
Banking on talent I own this,
What I have is Hopefulness,
Fan base interest will make one rich,
Piece of advice ill leave you with this,
Don't go all in I'll Take your chips.
