Guess I realized not all the world's a stage
Standing in line for my coconut cold brew
Check the lawyers before all the things I say or do
Yes I dig your pastel portrait of a bird
Never seen an illustration so cool
Never tell people what they're wanting to hear as a rule

Keeping it real (Keeping It real, keeping it real, keeping it real)
Then I'm a gonna fall fall fall
Keeping it real (Keeping It real, keeping it real, keeping it real)
Then I'm a gonna fall back on pretension

Cause you get back all you put out to the world
I sugarcoat my longing for you
Real is what I see my fingers run right through your curls, it's true
I tried to pull a fast one in one line of this song
To make it seem like I have a clue
But even if a tiny lie is hidden inside, it's still true

Keeping it real (Keeping It real, keeping it real, keeping it real)
Then I'm a gonna fall fall fall
Keeping it real (Keeping It real, keeping it real, keeping it real)
Then I'm a gonna fall back on pretension

Every time I step outside it's a culture shock
Maybe real, maybe fake, who even cares
Let's rock
Oh yeah
