Real (feat. KovuSoul & Damien Oliver)
Forty
You want forever but baby, that ain't real
You've been deluded by the system
And to be frank ocean, that's an everybody symptom
So I don't blame you but I do
you navigating love with reality misconstrued
You live your life by Twitter like it's CNN news
And stay going through the motions of just fucking the same dudes that send unsolicited nudes
Never taking you on dates unless it's back at his place
And I don't say this to be rude
But this potion has been brewed by the same exact people supposed to love you from these dudes
That's your parents
And it's apparent that you're not ready for a marriage
Pushing baby in a carriage
While your man sit at home getting dome from a random
And he ghosts all your concerns like a motherfucking phantom
Each excuse that he provides, you wanna can 'em
You can't stand him so you have a seat
Scrolling through dating apps, texting niggas while he sleep
Hoping someone, maybe somewhere that you will meet
That's nothing like your man
So, that's someone that'll treat you to a candle-lit dinner
Confirm words of affirmation
Admiration for your mind
Reassure your beauty too and give a smack to that behind
But we're designed to not really care about those things
It's like let me fuck first then we might worry bout a ring
We might care about your goals and care your heart is in a sling
We might wine and dine, design ya
Introduce the nice things
Take baecations to an island
Take a knee to give you diamonds
But in the front of our medulla
We look to break the hymen
We're eluded by misogyny
Obviously, the patriarchy conquered me
Same way I conquered you
The worst cycle of all cycles
I can't change the world until I change myself
I can't really ask for help until I help myself
I can't do better for you 'cause I need better help
I can't change the world until I change myself
I can't really ask for help until I help myself
I can't do better for you 'cause I need better help
I can't change the world until I change myself
I can't really ask for help until I help myself
I can't do better for you 'cause I need better help
You thought this was real
I love Toxic, still
Numb for you, I feel
I must be for real
If I am to heal
You thought this was real
Love for you, concealed
Love's a battlefield
On one knee, I yield
Truth must be revealed
You thought this was real
I love Toxic, still
You thought this was real
I love toxic, still
Numb for you, I feel
I must be for real
If I am to heal
Love for you concealed
I thought this was real
Numb for you I feel
You want forever but baby, that ain't real
You've been deluded by the system
And to be frank ocean, that's an everybody symptom
So I don't blame you but I do
