Mya – Real Compared To What(feat. Common) lyrics

Mya:
(Intro:)
Hello everyone, it's Mya, I just want to say thanks for joining me on ?Moodring?, 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 bless?

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 (real?)
Rockin on, keep rockin on
Rockin on, keep rockin on
