Lyrics

Verse:

Most people act like they're about different things.
But then all i see is them wearing jewels and shiny rings
putting on some kind of show acting like they know
what life would be like if cash was low
but whatever happened to days we'd be willing to work, smile, and live for free,
now it's like money will make you happy.

Chorus
I like it real
break it down show how i feel
if you're going around acting all hollywood
won't do you baby boy any good, no
cause i like it real
if you wanna believe, in your chances with me
you gotta be the real thing baby

verse:

cause I like it, real
what's funny is the ones that try to pretend
like when they come up, they were never really your friends
and that will be the day when they fall from the top to the bottom baby
and all those material things will be forgotten
but whatever happened to days we'd be willing to work, smile, and live for free,
now it's like money will make you happy.

Chorus

Bridge

if you look at real things
and what happiness brings
you'll see there's more to life than money
take a good look at yourself
then look at somebody else
and tell me, tell me, are they real

but whatever happened to days we'd be willing to work, smile, and live for free,
now it's like money will make you happy

Chorus
