To Be Real
The real thing is so hard to see
when fabricated by the things the world says i need
its all a lie
i'm intoxicated by the things that people say about me
lies cover me up
They weigh me down and turn me inside out
how can I be real
when the world says
Different things
enhance my image cuz what I am is not enough
wear the newest style
and you'll be popular
all of this and more
lies are what this world has in store
It's time to reveal the real me
i'm gonna show them I'm not perfect
but in every which way I am worth so much more
than what the world accounts for
to be real is something hard to be
wait and see cuz soon being real wil become so easy
truth is hidden so stand out
defeat the lies right now
this is how we have
to be real
