Mya & Common:
|
(Bridge: )
|
Try to make it real, compared to what
|
Real, real, yeah, let¡¯s make it really real
|
Real, real, yeah, let¡¯s make it really real
|
|
Common:
|
(Verse: 1)
|
If it¡¯s really 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
|
Street¡¯s dream, mama it¡¯s reality
|
Common, I stand out like a balcony
|
In a, material world full of fallacy
|
The truest place I found in me, that¡¯s wussup!
|
|
Mya
|
(Chorus:)
|
Try to make it real, compared to what
|
(Compared to this y¡¯all, ain¡¯t nothin¡¯ real y¡¯all)
|
Try to make it real, compared to what
|
Sock, it to me now!
|
|
Mya & Common:
|
(Verse: 2)
|
Common:
|
The real can¡¯t bought 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, you¡¯ll fall for gold
|
Then your actions all is told
|
|
Mya:
|
In the game you gotta have all control
|
But babe it¡¯s all a go
|
You better recognize it¡¯s real
|
Or you might just loose your soul
|
|
Common:
|
Through life¡¯s actions, carpet, and camera¡¯s snappin¡¯
|
Pop life, is it a demand for passion
|
Are we really real, or are we actin¡¯?
|
Right through the fake smiles, and maskin¡¯
|
Rationalize, the real recognize
|
Real, it¡¯s all in the eyes
|
Sometimes I feel it¡¯s all a disguise
|
The truth is reaveled, then I realize, that¡¯s wussup!
|
|
Mya & Common:
|
(Bridge:)
|
Try to make it real, compared to what
|
Real, real, yeah, let¡¯s make it really real
|
Try to make it real, compared to what
|
|
Mya & Common
|
(Verse: 3)
|
(Do It, Keep doin¡¯ it, I¡¯m feelin¡¯ it) (Keep doin¡¯ it, I¡¯m feelin¡¯ it, c¡¯mon)
|
You know the preachers doin¡¯ evil tryin¡¯ to teach us right from wrong?,
|
(False prophets, diggin¡¯ in our pockets, situation tight, don¡¯t fall for the hype)
|
And everywhere you turn, there¡¯s criticizing what¡¯s goin¡¯ on,
|
(In this time in space, tryin¡¯ to find a place, where I can get free, and just be me)
|
All this judgin¡¯ by the cover, divided for a reason,
|
(Open up ya mind seek and divine the myth in all mankind)
|
And ever since the wind blowed upon their voices, what have we done?,
|
(We losin, abusin¡¯, life, tryin¡¯ hard to be real, when real is right)
|
Everybody, got to make it real, everybody, you got to know the deal (repeat)
|
|
Common:
|
(Verse: 4)
|
They say money make a man strange, is it money, or he don¡¯t understand change?
|
Funny 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!
|
|
Mya & Common:
|
Try to make it real, compared to what
|
(Compared to this y¡¯all, ain¡¯t nothin¡¯ real y¡¯all)
|
Try to make it real, compared to what
|
Real, real, yeah, let¡¯s make it really real
|
Try to make it real, compared to what
|
Gotta make it real, so you know it¡¯s real
|
Try to make it real
|
Sock it to me know!
|
|
Mya & Common:
|
To my people keep rockin¡¯ on
|
To my people keep rockin¡¯ on (rockin¡¯ on)
|
To my people keep rockin¡¯ on
|
To my people keep rockin¡¯ on
|
To my people keep rockin¡¯ on
|
To my people keep rockin¡¯ on (to my people keep rockin¡¯ on)
|
To my people keep rockin¡¯ on
|
To my people keep rockin¡¯ on (to my people keep rockin¡¯ on)
|
To my people keep rockin¡¯ on (real¡¦)
|
Rockin on, keep rockin on
|
Rockin on, keep rockin on
