Idea of Real

I don't care about your idea of real
You think being real means going and getting killed
You think it means taking drugs, Starting drama and being some kind of thug
Well I'd rather be real to my heart and spread love

I don't live to impress others
I don't care about Twitter or Instagram or who has the best numbers
I don't want the latest shoes that half the world wears
I don't care about the Kardashian gossip that most teenage girls share

Say what you want about me, it doesn't make me less of a man
I get what I need to survive, I don't care to flex for the gram
Imagine being dumb enough to buy things to impress people who don't like you
That's why I don't follow trends, because they're hardly ever the right moves

You post stacks of money online and wonder why you get robbed
I'm the one to bet on even if I don't have the best odds
I'd rather have a big heart you can keep your big mouth
Your idea of real isn't something for me to live out

I don't care about your idea of real
You think being real means going and getting killed
You think it means taking drugs, Starting drama and being some kind of thug
Well I'd rather be real to my heart and spread love
