Real Thing - Mogli the Iceburg

Run my lane, I ain’t got time for games

The more things that change around me

The more things that stay the same

Oh you think you know sum bout me

'cause you google up my name

I could take all of these pills

But I know it won’t stop the pain yeah, aye

Got this debt that drag me down and stress me out uh uh

I’ve been workin' extra tryin' to get out uh uh

I done gave my heart to women who ain’t love me back

This year I don’t think that I’m gon' make no time for that

Whoa, holdin' on by threads

I don’t know how much longer I can go

I’ve been been locked up by myself at night

Recordin' all these flows

Half my friends already married

I ain’t got that much to show

For all the seeds that I done planted

Waiting for that mug to grow

Never been the type to let

Someone’s opinion tell me no

You can keep your standards

I do not respect your status quo

I done came to far to let

My music fit into your mold

If you scared to light the fuse

Then tell me how you bout to blow?

I guess now that I’ll be on my own

Work so hard that I don’t even check my phone

Lately I’ve been feelin' out my zone

I don’t really wanna talk about it

Please leave me alone, yeah

I just want the real thing

Why is it so hard for me to feel things?

I just want the real thing

Why is it so hard for me to feel things?

Play for keeps, I’ve barely slept in weeks

I done got so much that I want

Why I still feel incomplete?

I’ve been carrying this baggage

Wait til I get off my leash

If you try to bring me down

Then you already underneath yeah, aye

There’s a fine line between all this pride I’m

Tryin' to keep in line when I decide that its my time

So I keep in mind my purpose is divine why

Do we fight on how to define it?

I’m hesitant to go

To some places I’ve been before

Cause deep down I just know

That I can’t feel no love no more

I can feel it in my soul

That my heart is just hardening

And no one would ever know

My perspective is darkening oh no no no

Isolation mixed with self deprecation

Has given Beelzebub a cause to give me standing ovations

I’ve made this my occupation but at what cost to my head?

I’ve gone numb from the pain

I’d rather feel it instead I’m sayin'

I guess now that I’ll be on my own

Work so hard that I don’t even check my phone

Lately I’ve been feelin' out my zone

I don’t really wanna talk about it

Please leave me alone, yeah

I just want the real thing

Why is it so hard for me to feel things?

I just want the real thing

Why is it so hard for me to feel things?
