Lyrics
G'BOW:
You say u want it real -- So let it be real
You say u want it real -- So let it be real
For all the people out there dealing -- With a love u got that's illing -- Then u know what I'm feeling -- I wanna keep it Real
There's a time that I felt -- that there was sex and nothing else -- Wasted years -- chasing thrill -- that how I learn to keep it Real
Talk about it -- Talk about it -- I ain't talkin' about no walking out
Be about it -- Be about it -- When things ain't goin' your way
Talk about it -- Talk about it -- I'm talkin' about it -- I'm bein' about it - I hope it real whatever you feel -- I hope it real whatever u feel
It such a simple deal-- (such ah; such ah; such ah; such ah)
To simply keep it real -- (simply, simply, simply keep it real)
It such a simple deal -- (such ah; such ah simply deal) - We want it to be real (ah we want it now)
If the love that u givin' -- don't go beyond sexual healing
(c'mon, c'mon, c'mon c'mon)
That it u that I'm feelin' -- I really need it real -
Talk about it -- Talk about it --- I ain't talkn' about no walkin' out -- be about it -- be about it -- when things ain't goin' your way -- talk about -- talk about -- I'm talkin' about it -- I'm bein' about it -- I hope it real whatever u feel -- I hope it real whatever u feel
