You make your life a show and tell
Displayin’ all your swag
But you’re not foolin’ me
With all your superficial crap
You wallow in all your things
Droppin’ Benjamins left and right
Buying all your pleasure
No matter what the price
Chorus
Get real
Oh c’mon get real
Oh get real
Get real
Vs2
To me you’re so transparent
A dirty window I see through
How you measure out your worth
By what you have that’s new
All the bells and whistles
Always upgrading for more
It makes you look like you are nothing
But a superficial whore
Chorus
Get real
Oh c’mon get real
Oh get real
Get real
Bridge
So you think that you’ve bought happiness
And live a fairytale life
That the void inside your heart and soul
Was filled up with a swipe
Well you may have fooled yourself
But I’m not fallin’ for your deal
You’d better open up your eyes
And get real…
Outro
You must not think that I see what you're doin'...
That I'm blind
That I'm dumb
But I think that you are the one
Who needs to reasses your priority
And get real
