Real (feat. KovuSoul & Damien Oliver)

Forty You want forever but baby, that ain't real You've been deluded by the system And to be frank ocean, that's an everybody symptom So I don't blame you but I do you navigating love with reality misconstrued You live your life by Twitter like it's CNN news And stay going through the motions of just fucking the same dudes that send unsolicited nudes Never taking you on dates unless it's back at his place And I don't say this to be rude But this potion has been brewed by the same exact people supposed to love you from these dudes That's your parents And it's apparent that you're not ready for a marriage Pushing baby in a carriage While your man sit at home getting dome from a random And he ghosts all your concerns like a motherfucking phantom Each excuse that he provides, you wanna can 'em You can't stand him so you have a seat Scrolling through dating apps, texting niggas while he sleep Hoping someone, maybe somewhere that you will meet That's nothing like your man So, that's someone that'll treat you to a candle-lit dinner Confirm words of affirmation Admiration for your mind Reassure your beauty too and give a smack to that behind But we're designed to not really care about those things It's like let me fuck first then we might worry bout a ring We might care about your goals and care your heart is in a sling We might wine and dine, design ya Introduce the nice things Take baecations to an island Take a knee to give you diamonds But in the front of our medulla We look to break the hymen We're eluded by misogyny Obviously, the patriarchy conquered me Same way I conquered you The worst cycle of all cycles I can't change the world until I change myself I can't really ask for help until I help myself I can't do better for you 'cause I need better help I can't change the world until I change myself I can't really ask for help until I help myself I can't do better for you 'cause I need better help I can't change the world until I change myself I can't really ask for help until I help myself I can't do better for you 'cause I need better help You thought this was real I love Toxic, still Numb for you, I feel I must be for real If I am to heal You thought this was real Love for you, concealed Love's a battlefield On one knee, I yield Truth must be revealed You thought this was real I love Toxic, still You thought this was real I love toxic, still Numb for you, I feel I must be for real If I am to heal Love for you concealed I thought this was real Numb for you I feel
