LYRICS:
Nothing hits home like it use to, and I can't put my finger on it.
Just give me something; a beat, a melody.
Just not the same ol sh*t please!
I need to feel liberated, or reminded that I can make it.
But that big black hole clouded my mind, now I can't get the picture right.

The people say
You'll find a way.
Just not today.
You'll be okay.
but it don't matter what they say.

Can't fake the funk. x4
It's too real, I'm too honest.
It's too real, I'm too honest.
Too real for me, I'm too honest.
Too real, too honest.

I'm capable of so much more. (yeah you are)
But I don't wanna open a new door. (open up)
And I'm so tired of new beginnings. Just want that happy ending.

Ru
That happy ending starts with your mind. You already got that fire, just keep it lit. (keep it lit)
Peace and prosperity exist in your kind. You already got that design, just keep it LIT. (mhmm)

The people say
You'll find a way.
Just not today.
"You'll be okay.
but it don't matter what they say.

Can't fake the funk. x4
It's too real, I'm too honest.
It's too real, I'm too honest.
Too real for me, I'm too honest.
Too real, too honest.

I guess that's just the way it goes.
Don't understand what doesn't show.
Don't let em know, just keep it LIT.
Fake it till you make it.

Can't fake the funk. x4
It's too real, too honest.
It's too real, too honest.
Too real for me, too honest.
Too real, too honest.
