Текст песни Real - Monkey Dola

These days I'm behind on what's important
I'd say back on bad habits I have fallen
I've been thinking 'bout the money I ain't making
And the grades that I'd be getting and the social recognition

But I remember I ain't living for approval or resentment
Expectations aren't exceptions
I feel excluded from your ways when my salary is low
But can't give up on my flows that's one thing for sure I know

And a second is the seconds feel dissected
Into instants when my instincts meet my will to grow
Animalistic wisdom, vivid determination
Are the only colors that I hoist, a universal nation

Critical mind to review ideas at length
Tell me what your labels have to do with inner strength
Appearances aren't being so I'm scratching on the surface
Deeper meaning is essential that's why I'm obsessed with purpose

A lucid dream or my text the same thing
Ain't using drugs but I'm addicted to creating
Maybe that's why I rap, maybe that's why I write
Maybe I care more when I'm lost inside the rhymes

This is my inner-vision, this is disinhibition
This is just another attempt to connect with emotions
And it's ironic, how I worry about status
To be worthy of your presence
But these worries make me distant

So tell me how you been?
Yeah tell me how you feel?
I'm trying to keep it chill
I want to keep it real

You know I'm scared to fail
Really I'm feeling frail
What fears behind the veil?
What falls along your trail?

Do you feel that you derail?
Do you feel the need to say?
Just stay with me today
Can't say I feel okay

So tell me how you been
Yeah tell me how you feel
I want to keep it real
I want to keep it real

So tell me how you been?
Yeah tell me how you feel?
I'm trying to keep it chill
I want to keep it real

You know I'm scared to fail
Really I'm feeling frail
What fears behind the veil?
What falls along your trail?

Do you feel that you derail?
Do you feel the need to say?
Just stay with me today
Can't say I feel okay

So tell me how you been
Yeah tell me how you feel
I want to keep it real
I want to keep it real

I'm so embedded in the work to do
Get the money, get the food, find a way to bring these sounds to you
I know it's worth it even if it isn't paying, it's healing the soul
And that's enough for me to make this dream come true

Before my hope is gone, before my faith is done
Before my mind gets old, before my heart gets cold
Parents bet their life on me, to me no choice you see
To become worthy of their energy

I can still hear them tell me: life's a wave you see
You'll go trough up and downs, stay afloat, you'll be fine
We paid your lessons so you'd never drown
Don't let us down for surprises that you can't abide

Don't define your mind on ideas that just go by
Your time is counted, your thoughts are clouds filling your sky
You can scream under the thunder or watch them pass you by
'Till the clearness you desire finds your face and makes you smile

You can see it as sign
Find your calm and feel the shine
I've been writing for a while
Been riding solo for some time now

You can find a way to shine
You can learn to take your time
You can find a peace of mind
You can bring your dreams alive

So tell me how you been?
Yeah tell me how you feel?
I'm trying to keep it chill
I want to keep it real

You know I'm scared to fail
Really I'm feeling frail
What fears behind the veil?
What falls along your trail?

Do you feel that you derail?
Do you feel the need to say?
Just stay with me today
Can't say I feel okay

So tell me how you been
Yeah tell me how you feel
I want to keep it real
I want to keep it real

So tell me how you been?
Yeah tell me how you feel?
I'm trying to keep it chill
I want to keep it real

You know I'm scared to fail
Really I'm feeling frail
What fears behind the veil?
What falls along your trail?

Do you feel that you derail?
Do you feel the need to say?
Just stay with me today
Can't say I feel okay

So tell me how you been
Yeah tell me how you feel
I want to keep it real
I want to keep it real
