Everybody's trying to be someone that they're not
Trying to fill up their lives and be on top
To pay for their mistakes like it's bail out of jail
What they don't realize is that they're gonna fail
Why do people attempt to
When they know they cannot
Why do people do what they do
When they know they should not
Check one, check two
This is reality calling
Letting you know that you're falling
Away from things better for you
These things are too complicated
Because people are not dedicated
Life is harder than what it seems
When you're trying to live out your dreams
Why do people attempt to
When they know they cannot
Why do people do what they do
When they know they should not
Check one, check two
This is reality calling
Letting you know that you're falling
Away from things better for you
It's too hard for people to face the truth
Because they don't know what is right for them
And it's too hard for people to follow their heart
Because they don't know what is right for them
Why do people attempt to
When they know they cannot
Why do people do what they do
When they know they should not
Check one, check two
This is reality calling
Letting you know that you're falling
Away from things better for you
Check three, check four
Your career just hit the floor
