The Real Thing Lyrics - Kenny Wesley

VERSE 1 

When ya gotta keep movin' you got no time to look inside 

When ya gotta keep conquerin' you've got no life to live ain't right 

When you need to make everything look just like the make believe 

Then you're just pretendin' that you're not alone 

Moments they don't hang around ya know you blink and then they're gone 

Pushin' deep into the heap and you don't see what's goin' on 

Spinnin in your phantom ride I know that ain't no place no place to be 

HOOK 

What I feel I'm bright I'm breakin' open 

What I got is the real thing 

Write it down in your bank book it don't mean nothin' 

What I got is the real thing 

Stuck inside there's a storm that's close to breakin' 

What we're leaving ain't the real thing 

So I hook straight into the sound that keeps me kickin' 

What I've got is this real thang 

VERSE 2 

Everyday you're workin' you skip around at double time 

Got it on repeat, yeah, you start to buy it double blind 

Yeah, you're trippin' on everything, but it's all just in your mind 

It's all just in your mind... 

The bird it perches on your stoop and all you do is close the door 

You see the things I got to give and you just layin' on the floor 

Spinnin' in your phantom ride I know that ain't no place no place to be 

There are options infinite, baby this I guarantee 

[HOOK] 

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

[BGVs: ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh; ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh] 

All I want, All I need is this real thang 

All I want, all I need is this real thang
