reality

[starts at 0:10]

 

(Chorus x2)

Just had a reality check, Reality checked me,

Shoulda checked with reality first so then I could clearly see,

What things could actually happen to me,

Yes [uh] me,

Shoulda checked with reality first so I could really see..

 

[Uh]

Writers' Block got me going crazy,

Everybody tryna be the Rap God like Shady,

Got a different attitude toward life lately,

Tryna make it big but I can only sit back and day-dream saying "Maybe"

But me and reality had an unpleasant confrontation,

Realizing that I could work at McDonalds instead of spitting proclamations,

Could end up doing time instead of defeating mighty nations,

Instead of being rich I could be filling out many applications.

Could be robbing 7/11s just to break even,

Rummaging through dumpsters just to find something worthy of eating,

Me, The world, and a demon,

All sleeping together and nightmares I'm dreaming,

What I just said right there was some deep ish,

Better go back and find the true meaning,

Some stuff can be deceiving,

People just like to be evil for no reason,

Took too long to realize that I was bleeding,

Sometimes its hard to stick to what you believe in..

 

(Chorus x2)

Just had a reality check, Reality checked me,

Shoulda checked with reality first so then I could clearly see,

What things could actually happen to me,

Yes [uh] me,

Shoulda checked with reality first so I could really see..
