(Trudell, you making noise blood!)
You ain't real til you been fake (Been fake, been fake, been fake)
You ain't real til you been fake (That's real)
You ain't real til you've made mistakes
Made plenty, wrote songs that I've thrown away
Thought maybe, I would be something, not today
But I got up, stoop up, made a way
The ones you need the most
Never show up
Right?
Just us
We feel the same way, if this isn't trust
I hope we can escape, witness God's love
See myself in every burden, every wrong (Yeah)
How can you be so certain? That this song
Gonna do good? It's really good but if it goes strong
Will people forget, that you were here for this long (Maybe)
I don't know, honestly I want to inspire
If my money don't speak for itself, I'll light a fire (Burn)
Ever since I lived in Missouri, been lost
But when I came back, it felt like a long pause
And my friends moved on, and then life goes on
And then people wanna talk, but no one let's you on
The life of a loner, go home and doze off
I'm not gonna hold up, I'm silent in the fog (Shhh!)
Yeah
I just wanna be quiet, I don't even wanna talk
So I go off, slow breathing, take a walk
Down the belt
Reminisce on what I've lost
See myself in the puddle, next to it, chalk
Taking a trip down memory lane (yeah)
All alone now, but back in the day
I had friends, VHS, imma let it replay
Back then, never stressed, so I'll let it replay
You ain't real til you been fake (Been fake, been fake, been fake)
You ain't real til you been fake (That's real)
You ain't real til you've made mistakes
Made plenty, wrote songs that I've thrown away
Thought maybe, I would be something, not today
But I got up, stoop up, made a way
The feeling of a depressed, and stressed teen (Yeah)
Cut my high school years, between
Me being cool, yet tryna get approval
Then sitting at home, writing music for you
Hey
I never wanted nothing back
When I met you, you could've kept my hat
Kept my laughs, kept my heart in tact (Uh)
But you didn't, beat it up, spit on it, attacked
See myself getting out of this life
So I left, tried going back to rewind
Not a cat so I don't have nine-nine lives
Now in fact, i'm the best in this this time
I got my life in the
Life in the truck
Dime in the rough
9 times out of 10, wasn't enough
So I ran, took cover, never wanted to suffer
But then I did, still here, ain't nothing tougher
I'm a beast, i'm a dog
Off leash, down to earth just like the fog
Hit my knees, i'll need a sec, press pause
Get peace, in my streets of my thoughts
I'm at war with idea of war
Never thought getting to heaven would be a chore (Yeah)
Always thought God would see me and close the doors
Now i'm up top, you see me, are you sure?
(Are you sure?)
You ain't real til you been fake (Been fake, been fake, been fake)
You ain't real til you been fake (That's real)
You ain't real til you've made mistakes
Made plenty, wrote songs that I've thrown away
Thought maybe, I would be something, not today
But I got up, stoop up, made a way
I called my friends on the phone (Yeah)
Most of em, are different area codes
Loud snore, when I sleep, ain't a goat
But this ain't no ghost, ain't no joke when I grip the mic and choke it
Auditorium
Filled with people hoping, I would show them my ability
To row, and then row, and then row again
Passion of the pen, running low i'm in
Deep now so I can't stop here (Nope)
Didn't have to release this right here (No)
But I'm still back, showing up every year
I just want to make good tunes for your ears (Yeah)
When this does come out my family gon' cheers
Toast to life, that we made its clear
I'd rather have this, than the fame
With years to come
Live in Hawaii, while I be beating the drum
Salisbury steak we stay heating em up
(Salisbury steak we stay heating em up)
Reminds me, stay humble
Stay humble
You ain't real til you've been fake
Love only gets you hurt
