The baddest niggas out there bro 

Never figure out real love 

You'll never figure out real love 

You'll never figure out real love 



Its so crazy 

I got everything figured out 

But for some reason I can never find what real love is about 

No doubt 

Everything in the world figured out but I can never seem to find what love is about 



Do you think I sacrificed real life 

For all the fame of flashing lights? 

Do you think I sacrifice a real life 

For all the fame of flashing lights? 



There is no Gucci I can buy 

There is no Louis Vuitton to put on 

There is no YSL that they could sell 

To get my heart out of this hell 

And my mind out of this jail 

There is no clothes that I could buy 

That could turn back the time 

There is no vacation spot I could fly 

That could bring back a piece of real life 

Real life, what does it feel like? 

I ask you tonight, I ask you tonight 

What does it feel like, I ask you tonight 

To live a real life 

I just want to be a real boy 

They always say Kanye, he keeps it real boy 

Pinocchio story is, I just want to be a real boy 

Pinocchio story is to be a real boy 



Its funny Pinocchio lied and that's what kept him from it 

I tell the truth and I keep runnin 

Its like im looking for something out there trying to find something 

I turn on the tv and see me and see nothing 



What does it feel like to live real life to be real? 

Not some facade on tv that no can really feel 

Do you really have the stamina... 

For everybody that sees you and that say 'where's my camera?' 

For everybody that sees you and says 'sign my autograph' 

For everybody that sees you and says that 'you all that' 

You all that 

I just want to be a real boy, 

Pinocchio story goes, I just want to be a real boy 

Pinocchio story goes... 



And there is no Gepetto to guide me, no one right beside me 

The only one was behind me I cant find her no more, 

I cant find her no more I cant... 

the only one that come out on the tour and stay, stay, stay... 

Back when I was living at home and this was all a big dream 



And the fame will be got caught 

And the day I moved to LA 

Maybe that was all my fault 

All my fault to be a real boy 

Chasing the American dream, 

Chasing everything we seen 

Up on the tv screen 

And when I- the Benz was left 

And the clothes was left 

And the hoes was left 

You talk the hoes to death thinkin the money that the- 

You spent the doughs to death 

And tell me what-tf for a real boy 



They say kanye you keep it too real boy
