Real / Fake
[Verse 1: Silas]

Real fake, real fake

You would think - opposites don't go together
But they attract, that's the fact of the matter
Or whatever, this is my letter to the better
Couldn't settle it together, so it just goes on forever
And forever-ever, another step on this endless ladder
No matter the weather, he's a real go-getter
Wants to be a trendsetter, hopes one day it gets better
So he puts it all on the line -
'Cause he got nothing to lose, lost touch with his own self
Driven by all the make-believe and the fake wealth
Hypocrisy, to be or not to be
Wrong ideals, why can't you see?
Maybe he sees but doesn't give a damn
“True to myself? Who could understand
Who I really am and who I really want to be
It's easier to pretend than to be free"
[Hook: Silas]

So you're telling me this is all real, this is how you feel
This is who you are, this the real deal?
This is all you, no false pretense
Or is it just the means to an end?
But let me tell you I can see right through you
This is why you'll never be at peace, whatever you do
So turn around now, before it's too late
'Cause you're not real, but real fake

[Verse 2: B.g. Bene]

Real fake, real fake

What's the key to being really real
Yeah you already know, but you don't
Too many pictures in your head, you weren't made in one image
Influence influctuated this sentence
'Cause you can't take yourself for who you are
Your friends say they dig your style, but it ain't who you are
You say to yourself your ceiling is limited
‘Cause you're already thinking that you're
Sleeping in the upper bunk bed
But you ain't above none, you're just a low life dude
Your actions don't live up to your words
You just open your mouth, at the wrong time, at the wrong moment
Nowadays peer pressure ain't no pressure no more
It's a cool thing, making impressions
'Cause they impress your brain, implemented with compliments
This society cost you your brain like
[Hook]

[Verse 3: B.g. Bene & Silas]

[B.g. Bene]

Differentiation, indifference how come that
I beg to differ, cause me and you
See yeah, we ain't on the same page
So let’s just cut to the chase
You try to chase this feeling, put a bee in your bonnet
And it just keeps on swirling 'til your twirling
Now I'm whirling can't you tell that words are burning
Now the tide has turned in our favor
So why won't you just shut it for a minute, playa?

[Silas]

Fake realness - real fakeness
Stop being a fraud, I can't take this
Yeah I get it, we all wanna be accepted
But what price do we pay just to be neglected?
'Cause they never truly take us as we are
If we have to be someone else to be a part
Of their society, their own little world
Stay true to yourself, even if it hurts
Yeah, you just gotta stay true
'Cause there comes a day, it'll all be worth it
I promise man, so just hold on - and be you!

[Hook]

[Outro: Silas]

Real fake
So turn around now before it's too late
'Cause you're not real, but real fake
