(feat. Common)

[Mya:] Try to make it real compared to what?

Oh oh oh oh oh...oh oh oh oh 

Sock it to me now



[Common:] They say money make a man strange 

Is it money or we dont understand change

Money should be real we campaign If we shoe then just keep your thang thang

Maintain who we are as the gang chains 

Everybody wanna star its the same game 

I didn't travel this far to do the same thang 

It's the trip not the real i was mainstream

Thats whats up



[Mya:] Try to make it real compared to what?

Try to make it reeeeeeal 



[Man talks:.....]



[Mya:] oh



[Common:] The real can't be bought

But so taught

And told the boy tryed to keep the records off the sole

On the road to the riches he lost control

By the eye of the needle, I was often told

Disrespect for nothin is far from gold

In your actions all is told



[Mya:] ohh



[Common:] your in the game

You gootta have ball control 

You see fame is all a road

New lights actions 

Car when the camera snappin 

Pop like is it another plan for passion

Are we really real or are we acting 

Right through the fake smiles and mask

And rassionalize



[Mya:] Try to make it real compared to what?



[Common:] Some my people keep rockin on 

All my people keep rockin on
