People Don't Want That Real - Dee-1

People don’t want that real, they just say that they do

Nah, people don’t want that real, and I’m one of 'em too

I’m so easily entertained by ratchet activity

Violent, negative imagery always seem to interest me

I tell myself no more music glorifying evil

Selling drugs, womanizing, killing our people

Then I hear a song with a tight beat and can’t deny it

The hook is catchy so I subconsciously memorize it

Next thing you know, I’m reciting all the lyrics

And my day don’t feel complete unless I hear it

Inviting darkness in my spirit, this can’t be light

I’m craving what I’m 'posed to be fighting, this can’t be right

I must be blind to the effects, this can’t be sight

Death is in the power of the tongue 'cause this can’t be life

Be careful what you get involved with

'Cause you can’t support a cause but then hate the effects that it causes, uh

Do I really want change?

Am I really who I claim?

When that final day comes, Lord, will you call my name?

It’s just really on my brain, uh

Do I really want change?

Am I really who I claim?

When that final day comes, Lord, will you call my name?

It’s just really on my brain

People don’t want love, they just say that they do

Nah, people don’t want love, and I’m one of 'em too

I’m so easily entertained by the thrill of the chase

Infatuated with a new name and a new face

I tell myself no more hollerin' at these girls

All I need is one, give her diamonds, give her pearls

But I’m steady looking past what’s right there in my grasp

Someone that I can have who would give me her last, uh

Next thing you know, I’m talking to someone new

She don’t love who I am, she just love what I do

First she used to ignore me, now she love to explore me

Was cool the first couple weeks, now she starting to bore me

This ain’t right, feeling like a habit I can’t fight

Think I might have to learn how to curb my appetite

All my life, I said that I been wanting me a wife

Well, I can’t spend my time just chasing whoever’s fine, for real

Do I really want change?

Am I really who I claim?

When that final day comes, Lord, will you call my name?

It’s just really on my brain, uh

Do I really want change?

Am I really who I claim?

When that final day comes, Lord, will you call my name?

It’s just really on my brain
