Feels Good To Be Real

You got your brand names, looks to kill
Seems that everything is plastic and nothing is real
When money talks and real cats walk, it's so bizarre
You can work twice as hard and go half as far
The truth hurts and it only gets worse
You wanna tell me what I'm worth
People don't always get what they deserve
I get down, roll up my sleeves for every dollar
When others cop fate, it makes me work harder

Like damn, I ain't going out like that
I can't live like that, feels good to be real
A moment of motivation's trashed
Can't live like that, when you get the bad deal
Promises, who will sell you out?
Learn to win, feels good to be real

I got peace of mind, but those minds are closed
Can't ignore the evidence because the world seems cold
We got lies and deception, all for protection
Check your prescription, fuel my addiction
Buy into the hype, avoid the consequence
When the fakeness breeds, we'd out the misfits
I try not to blink, let the river run dry
Just step right up and look death in the eye

Like damn, I ain't going out like that
I can't live like that, feels good to be real
A moment of motivation's trashed
Can't live like that, when you get the bad deal
Promises, who will sell you out?
Learn to win, feels good to be real

Mistaken, evaded
The landslide, overrated
Swallowed, you're changing
And it's hollow, don't you hate it?

Like damn, I ain't going out like that
I can't live like that, feels good to be real
A moment of motivation's trashed
Can't live like that, when you get the bad deal
Promises, who will sell you out?
Learn to win, feels good to be real
