Real Life (feat. Stormzy)

It ain't like you hearin' it and it's like movin' you

You know music is and the music you makin' is life and it's like new life

It's important for me to understand the state of mind and the life you live

And where you're, you know, where you're at right now

Pull up like, "Surprise surprise, it's the President"

Can't you see that I'm in my element

I might just decide to slide on my enemies

I go along on a glide for the hell of it

I bring a different vibe when I'm steppin' in

If a **** ain't right, I'm correctin' him

Everybody know for sure I'ma take it there

So cross your T's and dot your I's when you're messagin'

I never subscribe to guys on the internet

Livin' for the clout, tellin' lies to the press again

Better don't take me for the fool I ain't never been

Don't bother with lies, I'm wise when I'm checkin' in

I'm redirectin' dem back to the sender men

Then you go see reality, go start arrestin' dem

Mi know seh dem no hear when I was tellin' dem

But life real, I ain't never like the rest of dem

Yes, we are blessed, but it's harder to see sometimes

Tryna find my peace of mind

You said, "How could we be so blinded?"

You just follow your dreams and go live your life

I'll give you something to believe in

I'ma be the reason

So please, please stay

Say you won't leave (Won't leave)

Real life is for livin', but the price you've been given's not cheap

So please stay

We'll share the whole thing, girl

Real life is for livin', use this life that you live and be free

I wonder which style dem guys dem do try now

If una never hear mi story, mek you find out

I know say nobody is an island

But if dem wan fuck you for nyash, mek you no lie down

And I know you fit later realize am

But the way you don dey move I no dey like am

Somebody want to wear the shoe wey no size am

Me, I be Destiny's Child, a survivor

Real, no be China

Come here, I've been the guy

And nothing I ever said ever been a lie

Any time see me, look up in the sky

I can see the daylight in the night

When you see a soldier smile, it's a good sign

That's the way it is on the south side

I no go let you slide, no, not this time

Right now I'm tryna ride, fuck a good time

Goodbye

Yes, we are blessed, but it's harder to see sometimes

Tryna find my peace of mind

You said, "How could we be so blinded?"

You just follow your dreams and go live your life

I'll give you something to believe in

I'ma be the reason

So please, please stay

Say you won't leave

Real life is for livin', but the price you've been given's not cheap

So please stay

We'll share the whole thing, yeah

Real life is for livin', use this life that you live and be free

Real life, oh

This life, this life

Give you real life, oh

And I know why, oh

This life, this life

This life, oh

Real life, oh (Real life is for living, life that you live and be free)
