| Givin' up what you've got
|
| What you are, you're simply not
|
| Aren't you tired of this game?
|
| And all the emptiness of your fame
|
| You can't hold tight to what you have
|
| Cause there is nothing there to grab
|
| Now life is a shadow of the thought
|
| You never did have what you thought you got
|
| I'm no real thing
|
| They say I'm the real thing
|
| (Oh no)
|
| I sound like the real thing
|
| (Oh no)
|
| Sing it real loud like the real thing
|
| Makin' 'em proud like the real thing
|
| (Lalala)
|
| I come from the land of slaves
|
| (Lalala)
|
| Let's go Redskins
|
| Let's go Braves
|
| (Lalala)
|
| You want the truth in tomes
|
| Dig this dirt and sift out the bones
|
| They said I'm the real thing
|
| (Oh no)
|
| I sound like the real thing
|
| (Oh no)
|
| Joke's on you
|
| All askew
|
| Heard my name in Timbuktu
|
| (Lalala)
|
| Now I got it
|
| All mangled
|
| (Lalala)
|
| Cut it out it's all tangled
|
| Star spangled
|
| Givin' up what you've got
|
| And what you are, you're simply not
|
| Aren't you tired of this game?
|
| And all the emptiness of your fame
|
| You can't hold tight to what you have
|
| Cause there is nothing there to grab
|
| Now life is a shadow of the thought
|
| You never did have what you thought you got
|
| Oh, I'm no real thing
|
| Water ain't water if water is wet
|
| (Oh no)
|
| Don't ever pay me
|
| I look good in debt
|
| (Oh no)
|
| Red, white, blue course through my veins
|
| Binge 'n purge the USA
|
| Why are you afraid about pants size ten?
|
| Humadum, rumadum
|
| They're chosen girls
|
| While you worry about dress size 6
|
| They're winning the tricks
|
| Those tricks, those tricks, oh
|
| Just what is the real thing?
|
| (Oh no)
|
| Don't call me the real thing
|
| (Oh no)
|
| The search for the real thing
|
| (Oh no)
|
| The curse of the real thing
|
| Lalala
|
| I come from the land of shame
|
| Blood and guts are all I claim, singing
|
| Givin' up what you've got
|
| Aren't you tired of this game?
|
| You can't hold tight to what you've got
|
| You never did have what you thought you got
|
| Oh my god I use my lungs
|
| (Bless my lungs, bless my lungs)
|
| Soft and loud, anyway feels good
|
| (Bless my lungs, bless my lungs)
|
| Oh my heat up in my bones
|
| (Bless my lungs, bless my lungs)
|
| Perched atop my drumming flam
|
| (Bless my lungs, bless my lungs)
|
| Ate food that fed me
|
| (Bless my lungs)
|
| Seed planted itself in my stomach and bled me
|
| Read some words that led me
|
| Knee ache, skin leathery
|
| Put up a fight and you're my pride
|
| Swell, my fist right through a tube
|
| Glory, glory it's good to be me
|
| Ugly one be you, who you are
|
| Ugly one be you, who you are
|
| Ugly but pretty overrated
|
| It's complicated
|
| I'm a real thing
|
| Real thing (real thing)
|
| Real thing (real thing)
|
| Real thing (real thing)
|
| Real thing (real thing)
|
| Real thing (real thing)
|
| Real thing (real thing)
|
| Real thing (real thing)
|
| Real thing (real thing) |
