Real Life

Don't ask me what I'm thinking
I can't handle it
Didn't plan on this

Don't ask me what I'm drinking
Hip hop hey what's wassup
Nothin' doin' but

If I had a real life
I could break my hands
And maybe feel life

Not understand it
As if I had a real life
Not a bland and broken false reality

won't fight a slight depression
Say it can't be done
Nothing comes from fun but

If I had a real life
I could break the mold
And maybe steal life

From those who stole it
As if they had a real life
Not an old and smokin' false reality

Girl gone crazy
Ridin' the wave
Ridin' it way out

World don't faze me
Nothin' to save
Nothin' to save us now anyhow

Buy me a billionaire
And maybe I'll forget
Maybe I'll accept

Write me a baudelaire
And sign me up a cut
If you're going up 'cause

If I had a real life
I could break it down
And maybe feel life

Not just drown in it
As if I had a real life
Not a town and country false reality

Girl gone crazy
Ridin' the wave
Ridin' it way out

World don't faze me
Nothin' to save
Nothin' to save us now
Anyhow

Destroy the government
And set me up as king
I've been wonderin'

About the precedent
Of pushin' me around
Goin' underground 'cause

If I had a real life
I could break the rules
And maybe feel life

Instead of foolish
As if I had a real life
Not a cruel and chokin' false reality
