Στίχοι

Salvation, inflation
Depression and recession
Facing you whether it's in
Your home or on your corner
Don't let your separate beliefs
Let a lot of people starve
Organization
Reality, (Godfather
Sing it, James Brown)
Reality is the thing for me
Reality is the thing for me
Yeah, yeah
Reality, reality
Reality, (Godfather
Sing it, James Brown)
I can't be myself
When I know I'm not fooling no one else
Nobody
Everybody wanna go to Heaven
Nobody wants to die, yeah
(Sing it, James Brown)
Nobody wants to walk
Everybody wants to fly
(Sing it, James Brown)
Can't get no reservation
You've got starvation
Cause that's reality (Godfather)
Reality is the thing for me
Now let me read something to you
This is taken from the S&S
Use to be called Shakespeare
But we call it the
Streets of starvation
In the world of exactness
Half-stepping is totally out
You can jive, pride, and bull
Fool yourself but not the people
But if you wanna achieve a
Beautiful lifelong dream
You gotta set your head
In the right direction
You gotta deal with reality
Almighty reality
Reality is the thing for me, yeah
Reality, give me reality
Reality, I'll lie but you might
Not wanna hear what I tell you
Reality is the thing for me
Reality is the thing for me...
