Real Compared To What-(feat Common)

Mya:



(Intro:)



Hello everyone, it's Mya, I just want to say thanks for joining me on ÔÇŁMoodring?, this next record is a special treat of mine, it has nothing to do with my album pursy, but it's just a gift from me to you, so enjoy, and god blessÔÇŞ







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 (realÔÇŞ)

Rockin on, keep rockin on
