(Intro/Bridge)

[Mya]

Try to make it real compared to what

Real, real, yeah, lets make it really real

Real real, yeah, lets make it really real, yeah [Common]

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 of stability

Sweet dreams, mama it's reality

Times I stand out like a balcony

In a material world full of fallacies

The truest place I found in me

That's wussup! (Chorus)

[Mya]

Try to make it real compared to what

Compared to this y'all

Ain't nuttin real y'all

Try to make it real compared to what

*harmonizing* [Mya]

Sock it to me now [Common]

The real can't be brought 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 then you'll fall for gold

Then your actions all is told [Mya]

And the games you better have all control

But babe it's all a go

You better recognize what's real

Or you might jus lose your soul [Common]

Thru life's actions, cars, fitteds, cameras snappin

Pop life, is it a demand for passion

Are we really real or are we actin

Right thru the face, smiles and maskin

Rationalize the real recognize

Real, it's all in the eyes

Some times I feel it's all a disguise

The truth is revealed then I realize

That's wussup! (Bridge) [Mya & Common]

[M] There's got to be a reason

[M] And ever since the wind blowed upon their voices

[M] Everybody (c'mon) got to make it real

Everybody you got to know the deal (know the deal)

Everybody got to make it real

Everybody you got to know the deal [Common]

They say money make a man strange

Is it money or he don't understand change

Money 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! (Chorus) (Bridge) [Mya]

Gotta make it real so you know it's real

Try to make it real (let's do it)...sock it to me know! [Common (Mya)]
