Veks - If This Was Real

★ Intro ★
One this you said when you were inducted
You talked about spirituality
And about how you hope that artists today
As they move on with their talent
They grasp a sense of spirituality
Because it will help them in the long run
Do you think there’s an absence of that among some of the new artists today?
(Well I don’t know)
(You know I meet a lot of artists)
(But the record industry, they tend to promote things that are more salacious)
(And hit-driven I guess)

★ Verse 1 ★
Yo
This is just another day in the life
Chilling in bed, laying with wife seeing the strifе
When knowledge of knowing is morе
And once we open those doors we’ll both share the ultimate score
But first
We’ll put to the test and win this hardship
Happiness we invest and watch ❲?❳
I hold her and just know that she’s mine
So much more than body and soul
Yo I know that she mine
And with me in this comfort that she shares with me
And I take it all in and analyze it carefully
It’s a trip cause ❲?❳ spoke it as true
Joke enough too so it’s as refreshing as coconut juice
To a plant, this metaphorical chip
I never toured this trip
Until I met this little oracle chick
My aura just slipped into complete tranquility
Cause everything is so fake but this is all so real to me
It must be

★ Interlude ★
We just need to uncover everything that this album is
It’s a return to real music
And all that’s good and funky and music you know
(Make a statement also about the face that)
(You think that the music industry has gotten away from real music)
(In the past, especially with some of the newer artists, it that fair?)
Well I think everybody sort of feels like that

★ Verse 2 ★
Cause where else would I rather be
Don’t stay mad at me because I’m living happily
Can’t you see life could be a tragedy
If you don’t begin to progress gradually
Some of my homeboys as dastardly, still getting asked to pee
Cause in country courts they have to plea
I grabbed a seat cause fuck man we’ll have to see
If this man’s children will have a dad to see
It saddens me when we got our own ❲?❳
❲?❳
Building tents some of them were in show biz
Dropped a classic or two, ❲?❳
So I do this for the souls that I love
Those that will truly remember me when I’m floating above
And all the stars that pushed me towards them
We need more of them
Because society ignores them
What a shame

★ Outro ★
It’s pretty obvious
There seems to be a glut of processed, pre-packaged, producer-driven music out there right now
I’m just trying to bring real musicians back into the scene
(In other words the lyrics were what made you feel sexy)
(Not the fact that you had barely anything on)
Yeah
It’s a reality show
(It’s good to have you here)
