Lyrics: Keepin It Real

Her Daddy had the money…. All the milk and honey… she never had to pay any dues
Don't know what her name is… but man she sure is famous… she keeps herself all over the news
They're playing close attention… the new Inside Edition… Is feeding all they can to her fans
She's got the paparazzi… behind her Macerate… Their snapping off as much as they can

I say why, why, why has it got be such a big deal?
We try, try, try… I've come to the conclusion.. we're living an illusion.. better off just Keeping it real
Better off keeping it real

She got a brand new movie..bout giving up the bootie… she showed it all and nobody cared
And made her such a mess..when she didn't get the press so she went and cut off all her hair

I said why, why, why haS it got to be such a big deal?
We try, try, try… I've come to the conclusion.. we're living an illusion.. better off just Keeping it real
Better off keeping it real

[Harmonica solo]

I said why, why, why haS it got to be such a big deal?
We try, try, try… I've come to the conclusion.. we're living an illusion.. better off just Keeping it real
Better off keeping it real

He said he didn't do it.. they couldn't hold him to it… he smiled and walked away a free man
The glove didn't fit him…. the jury said acquit him…. It all worked out the way that he planned
But he Couldn't live without it… he wrote a book about it.. yea everything he did that night
They didn't get him for the crime…but he's gonna do the time… cause he's got to get back in the spotlight
I said why, why, why haS it got to be such a big deal?
We try, try, try… I've come to the conclusion.. we're living an illusion.. better off just Keeping it real
I've come to the conclusion.. We're living an illusion.. better off just Keeping it real
Better off keeping it real
Oh we're better off just keeping it real
