Lyrics:

The Real



(Oooh)

No pulse to the heart
Eyes closed for days
Undone by our live’s aggressive ways
When the low’s too low
And the grey just stays
No matter what anyone could say
Yeah..

(Ooooh)
Yeah, yeah…
Oooh

I said cut out the lights
And pack your clothes
Nobody ever has to know
Set Fire to the house
And walk for days
But I wouldn’t have it any other way
Yeah…

Wherever he goes I go
Whatever he knows I know
Wanna know if it’s possible?
(x2)

Well let’s see…

New body, new mind,
New heart, new soul
But nobody lives on luck alone
No
No answer by phone and left for dead
But ah!
Did you hear a word I said?
No, no no…

Wherever he goes I go
Whatever he knows I know
Wanna know if it’s possible?
(x2)

Won't take it as it came
All in all, it’s all the same
Live by the lie, die by the dream
Living life torn at the seams
Until you can strip it bare,
You’ll never know what was there
You’ll never know…

(No, no, no, ooooh)

The Real

(Oooooh)

If all the things they’re telling you are true,
Then what is it to me
And it to you?
Because I know our love goes up
Just to come down
(Oooooh)
And everything I thought I knew is breaking up
(Oooooh)
And you
It’s all I do
Love will never be alone, alone
Love won’t leave you alone

Chorus

Baby please don’t throw back my letter (x8)
(Baby please, baby please)
(Throw my letter)

(Señor Gigio)

Okay,
I hear you girl.
I hear where you’re coming from
But here’s what I gotta say on the subject
Straight from the heart, baby
Look...

So why the world wanna come in between us?
Soon as my Mars starts falling in love with your Venus?
I keep a covenant for all of the secrets in our dominion
It ain’t up for public opinion...
But really it was bound to happen
This bond is too powerful
The amount of attraction
Got folks off balance
Stagnant
Trying to drag us down into their 
Sadness
I pour my soul into yours
That’s how I counteract them
See nothing impure
Can douse the passion
Of this twin flame fire
Ascend way higher
Than the haywire frenzy that lift and praise liars
Only truth and love may thrive in our empire!

That’s sweet harmony
We’re like the sky and the ocean
When we share our emotions and stay open
I know I folded in the moment from the holdbacks and pressure…
But I’ll never throw back your letter

I know your heart boy
Look into my eyes
The things they’re telling you are only lies
Because I know our love goes up
Just to come down
(Ooooh)
And everything I thought I knew is breaking up
(Ooooh)
And you
It’s all I do
Love will never be alone, alone
Love won’t leave you alone

Chorus

Baby please don’t throw back my letter (x8)
(Baby please, baby please)
(Throw my letter)

My Letter (feat. Senor Gigio)

My Letter (feat. Señor Gigio)

It don't matter where you come from
Temptation, it don't stop
They smile in your face, but
They all wanna be on top

No one said it was a race, but
They're ruthless, they don't stop
It's true
Now they come for you

Well, they're going insane
To that hit you made
And the homegirl screamin' from the yacht
Saying "Fill it up with smoke and then we'll dive in it"
Fill it up with smoke and then, a-mm-hmm

Any you can't lie low
Knowing what you know
So you keep it hush-hush, ooooh,
Saying "Fill it up with smoke and then we'll hide in it"
Oooh, with you

(Break)

They celebrate you for what you made
But with the body, memories fade
Decades of a fast facade
Fan photos at the promenade

But all throughout this,
Bound and chained
With no regard for what remains
Can't forget what you see in your sleep
Why does it cut so deep?

Well, they're going insane
To that hit you made
And the homegirl screamin' from the yacht
Saying "Fill it up with smoke and then we'll dive in it"
Fill it up with smoke and then, a-mm-hmm

Any you can't lie low
Knowing what you know
So you keep it hush-hush, ooooh,
Saying "Fill it up with smoke and then we'll hide in it"
Oooh, with you

(Break)

Well, they're going insane
To that hit you made
And the homegirl screamin' from the yacht
Saying "Fill it up with smoke and then we'll dive in it"
Fill it up with smoke and then, a-mm-hmm

Any you can't lie low
Knowing what you know
So you keep it hush-hush, ooooh,
Saying "Fill it up with smoke and then we'll hide in it"
Oooh, with you
