Malo!
Look around, I see paradise disappear
It's a mirage to the people who's still living here
Make no mistake, life is great, but it's still lackin'
Sister gone, son gone, can't deny what happened
Expensive look, crystal clear, this ain't paradise
k**ing yourself to make it work, now that's a sacrifice
It's pointless as a broken arrow, put a bow on it
Wrap it up and make it pretty, maybe they won't notice nothing
Yeah, falling for the okey-doke
Guarantee you'll take it baby, if you know she'll hold you close
In the life of luxury, she huggin' me
I'm out here exposing all my private matters publicly
Please pardon the interruption but you don't know the score
You don't know the game, I ain't talking bout' a sport
This is real life
Where real people sneak and creep and cheat on they real wife
We got real problems, that's the real world
It's hard to face reality with the image blurred
It's hard to see the world for what it really is
A d**h trap, don't get attached, it's coming to an end
It's coming to an end!
I think you need to know
Teddy Pendergra** said it well, "You need to let it go"
Let me go
I tell the world, "No holding back"
Love's like money I borrowed
I guess I owe you that
