Mya - Real Compared To What? lyrics

(Intro/Bridge) [Mya] Try to make it real compared to what Real, real, yeah, lets make it really real Real real, yeah, lets make it really real, yeah [Common] If it's real to you is it real to me How can one judge what I feel in me? Makin moves y'all but it's still in me We all move in search of stability Sweet dreams, mama it's reality Times I stand out like a balcony In a material world full of fallacies The truest place I found in me That's wussup! (Chorus) [Mya] Try to make it real compared to what Compared to this y'all Ain't nuttin real y'all Try to make it real compared to what *harmonizing* [Mya] Sock it to me now [Common] The real can't be brought or sold, taught or told The boy tried to keep it but he lost his soul On the road to the riches he lost control About the eye of a needle I was often told If you stand for nothing then you'll fall for gold Then your actions all is told [Mya] And the games you better have all control But babe it's all a go You better recognize what's real Or you might jus lose your soul [Common] Thru life's actions, cars, fitteds, cameras snappin Pop life, is it a demand for pa**ion Are we really real or are we actin Right thru the face, smiles and maskin Rationalize the real recognize Real, it's all in the eyes Some times I feel it's all a disguise The truth is revealed then I realize That's wussup!

[M] Preacher's doin evil tryin to teach us right from wrong [C] False prophets diggin in our pockets [C] Situation tight don't fall for the hype [M] And everywhere you turn [M] They're criticizing what's goin on [C] In this time and place, tryin to find a place [C] I can get free and just be me [M] IAlways judgin by the cover [M] There's got to be a reason [C] Open ya mind, seek and define [C] The realness in all mankind [M] And ever since the wind blowed upon their voices [M] What have we done? [C] We losin, abusing life [C] Tryin hard to be real when real is right [M] Everybody (c'mon) got to make it real Everybody you got to know the deal (know the deal) Everybody got to make it real Everybody you got to know the deal [Common] They say money make a man strange Is it money or he don't understand change Money to be real, we campaign If it's you, then just do ya thang, thang Maintain who we are as the game change Everybody wanna star in the same game I ain't travel this far to do the same thang It's a trip how the real now is mainstream That's wussup!
