Real Compared To What (Bonus Track)

Try to make it real compared to what?
Real, real, yeah
Let's make it really real (Oh)
Real, real, yeah
Let's make it really real (Yeah)

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 for stability
Street's dream, mama, it's reality
Common stand out like a balcony
In a material world full of fallacies
The truest place I found in me
That's what's up

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?
Oh, oh
Sock it to me now

The real can't be 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
'Bout the eye of a needle, I was often told
If you stand for nothin', you'll fall for gold
In your actions, all is told

In the game, you gotta have more control
But, babe, it's all a go
You better recognize what's real
Or you might just lose your soul

Through life's actions, cars, fifty cameras snappin'
Pop life, is it a demand for passion?
Are we really real? Or are we actin'?
Went through the fake smiles and masks and
Rationalized, the real recognize
The real, it's all in the eyes (You better recognize what's real)
At times, I feel like it's all a disguise
The truth is revealed, then I realize
That's what's up

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?
Yeah (Keep doin' it, I'm feelin' it, doin' it, feelin' it)

You know the preacher's doin' evil try'na 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 criticizin' what's goin' on
In this time and space, try'na find a place
Where I can get free, and just be me
All this judgin' by the cover, divided for no reason
Open your mind, seek the divine
The myths in all mankind
And ever since the wind blowed upon their voices
Oh what have we done?
We losin', abusin' life
Tryin' hard to be real when real is right

Everybody, got to make it real (C'mon)
Everybody, you've got to know your deal
Everybody, got to make it real
Everybody, you've got to know your deal

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 your 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 what's up

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 (Yeah)
Try to make it real compared to what?
Yeah, make it real
So you know it's real
Try to make it real, yeah
Sock it to me now

Tell my people "Keep rockin' on"
Tell my people "Keep rockin' on" (Rockin' on)
Tell my people "Keep rockin' on"
Tell my people "Keep rockin' on"
Tell my people "Keep rockin' on"
Tell my people "Keep rockin' on" (Tell my people "Keep rockin' on")
Tell my people "Keep rockin' on"
