Real Compared To What? Lyrics

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 passion
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!

(Bridge)

[Mya & Common]
[Mya] Try to make it real
compared to what
[Common] Keep doin it, I'm feelin it
[Common] Keep doin
it, I'm feelin it
[Mya] You know the...
[Mya] Preacher's doin evil tryin
to teach us right from wrong
[Common] False prophets diggin in our
pockets
[Common] Situation tight don't fall for the hype
[Mya] And
everywhere you turn
[Mya] They're criticizing what's goin on
[Common] In
this time and place, tryin to find a place
[Common] I can get free and just
be me
[Mya] IAlways judgin by the cover
[Mya] There's got to be a
reason
[Common] Open ya mind, seek and define
[Common] The realness in
all mankind
[Mya] And ever since the wind blowed upon their voices
[Mya]
What have we done?
[Common] We losin, abusing life
[Common] Tryin hard to
be real when real is right
[Mya] 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!

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

[Mya]
Try to make it real
compared to what
Gotta make it real so you know it's real
Try to make it
real (let's do it)...sock it to me know!

[Common (Mya)]
