Real Lies Video (MV)

Sometimes I sit and wonder why
I decided to pursue to this life
If I should keep going on with this grind
Or should I try and chase a 9 to 5
It's a tough decision to decide
Cause deep down in my mind, this what I really like
And all the numbers say to make its real unlikely
But I don't wanna say I never tried
It's been a dream of mine to be cover of TIME
But I don't wanna get lost through the cover of time
And normal people feats are not ever recognized
But how I am you know I want a small piece of that pie
And how I am you know that I want my dad to retire
The only plan to do that is through me working the mic
Making 100 grand per show is a feat I admire
I'm tryna get a glimpse of the green on the other side
You see, real eyes realize real lies
I'm tryna get a peek and look onto the real side
They say I gotta go college to live a real life
I wanna let them see me break the barrier real-time
I wanna let them see me as a regular, real guy
Cause people nowadays are superficial and real dry
It's rare to meet a girl that will support you on real nights
And others wanna put you down more times than you realize
Y'all are puppets on your life lines
While I'm just watching from the sidelines
Yeah, yeah
I'm just watching from the
Yeah
I'm boutta go in on this one
I'm sitting in a room full of cigar smoke
And yet I see the red flags that you are worth
You're better now but you are still far worse
Political discourse I'm giving you harsh words
Why didn't you take my advice, I thought I gave you guidance
Cause now you pay the price, when you shoulda stayed quiet
You said you'd make it happen, I guess that I was right
This didn't have much mileage, it crashed into the light
Calling each other "family" is so out of line
Once theres drama in business then you start picking sides
And there is nothing better here that can perceive the light,
Than what is truth-telling laying right behind the eyes
Can't you see? Your inner circle waits for your demise
They're orthopedic, put you under then pierces your spine
I might say they're white canes when they lead you blind
And this is why I can't sleep on those quiet nights
Peel back the layers, I'm tryna realize the revelations
I'm in a whole different zone and I choose to embrace it
I worked so much for others, now I need my liberation
A trip to Turks & Caicos, yeah, I need a quick vacation
Your own people investing in your depreciation
They air out dirty laundry, need a new filter replacement
They tryna court you up, tell them to deliberate it
I take it to the court and ball out like I'm Jayson Tatum
I'm a superstar, you're not even in rotation
I'm gonna burna boy up so go send your location
We can make these hands clap, like a standing ovation
Recall the real enemy, so hold your temptation
