The Real Thing

VERSE 1
When ya gotta keep movin' you got no time to look inside
When ya gotta keep conquerin' you've got no life to live ain't right
When you need to make everything look just like the make believe
Then you're just pretendin' that you're not alone
Moments they don't hang around ya know you blink and then they're gone
Pushin' deep into the heap and you don't see what's goin' on
Spinnin in your phantom ride I know that ain't no place no place to be

HOOK
What I feel I'm bright I'm breakin' open
What I got is the real thing
Write it down in your bank book it don't mean nothin'
What I got is the real thing
Stuck inside there's a storm that's close to breakin'
What we're leaving ain't the real thing
So I hook straight into the sound that keeps me kickin'
What I've got is this real thang

VERSE 2
Everyday you're workin' you skip around at double time
Got it on repeat, yeah, you start to buy it double blind
Yeah, you're trippin' on everything, but it's all just in your mind
It's all just in your mind...
The bird it perches on your stoop and all you do is close the door
You see the things I got to give and you just layin' on the floor
Spinnin' in your phantom ride I know that ain't no place no place to be
There are options infinite, baby this I guarantee
