Real Lies Lyrics

Sometimes I sit and wonder why

I decided to pursue to this life

If I should keep going on with this grind

Or should I try and chase a nine to five

It's a tough decision to decide

Cause deep down in my mind, this what I really like

And all the numbers say to make its real unlikely

But I don't wanna say I never tried

It's been a dream of mine to be cover of TIME

But I don't wanna get lost through the cover of time

And normal people feats are not ever recognized

But how I am you know I want a small piece of that pie

And how I am you know that I want my dad to retire

The only plan to do that is through me working the mic

Making 100 grand per show is a feat I admire

I'm tryna get a glimpse of the green on the other side

You see, real eyes realize real lies

I'm tryna get a peek and look onto the real side

They say I gotta go college to live a real life

I wanna let them see me break the barrier real-time

I wanna let them see me as a regular, real guy

Cause people nowadays are superficial and real dry

It's rare to meet a girl that will support you on real nights

And others wanna put you down more times than you realize

Y'all are puppets on your life lines

While I'm just watching from the sidelines

Yeah, yeah

I'm just watching from the

I'm sitting in a room full of cigar smoke

And yet I see the red flags that you are worth

You're better now but you are still far worse

Political discourse I'm giving you harsh words

Why didn't you take my advice, I thought I gave you guidance

Cause now you pay the price, when you shoulda stayed quiet

You said you'd make it happen, I guess that I was right

This didn't have much mileage, it crashed into the light

Calling each other "family" is so out of line

Once theres drama in business then you start picking sides

And there is nothing better here that can perceive the light,

than what is truth-telling laying right behind the eyes

Can't you see? Your inner circle waits for your demise

They're orthopedic, put you under then pierces your spine

I might say they're white canes when they lead you blind

And this is why I can't sleep on those quiet nights

Peel back the layers, I'm tryna realize the revelations

I'm in a whole different zone and I choose to embrace it

I worked so much for others, now I need my liberation

A trip to Turks & Caicos, yeah, I need a quick vacation

Your own people investing in your depreciation

They air out dirty laundry, need a new filter replacement

They tryna court you up, tell them to deliberate it

I take it to the court and ball out like I'm Jayson Tatum

I'm a superstar, you're not even in rotation

I'm gonna burna boy up so go send your location

We can make these hands clap, like a standing ovation

Recall the real enemy, so hold your temptation
