Real

Don’t lift me up and let me down,
I’m as high as I could be
In a house with green curtains
Its the only place for me
don’t give me praise for what I’ve done
cause I have only just begun
There’ll be time for that to come
In the future
but don’t tell me son you’ll never make it
you’ll just breakthrough underground
I’ll tell them that’s just what they think and we’ll breakthrough with our sound
gotta keep it real for real
Don’t throw me in and let me drown
cuz I haven’t learned to swim
in a boat lined with deceit
your the anchor by my feet
fill up the hole you’ve dug for me
I’ll be rising to my feet
up and down and all around
fill up your plate and words those eat
cuz I know the best way to play is everyday and everyway
after I win I’ll just grin
and we’ll cash in and we’ll just say
gotta keep it real for real
gotta keep it real for real
I don’t know when its gonna end or how I’m gonna feel complete
but maybe no is the only thing to say to get things through to you
gotta keep it real every single day
