The real thing is so hard to see

when fabricated by the things the world says i need

its all a lie

i'm intoxicated by the things that people say about me

lies cover me up 

They weigh me down and turn me inside out

how can I be real

when the world says 

Different things 

enhance my image cuz what I am is not enough

wear the newest style 

and you'll be popular 

all of this and more

lies are what this world has in store 

It's time to reveal the real me

i'm gonna show them I'm not perfect

but in every which way I am worth so much more

than what the world accounts for 

to be real is something hard to be

wait and see cuz soon being real wil become so easy 

truth is hidden so stand out 

defeat the lies right now

this is how we have 

to be real
