The second single from the REGENERATION mixtape, "Real To You" is a powerful record which confronts our doubts and fears. Are we really real to God? Are we who we say we are? EJA brings the beautiful and melodic hook, while The Wiz and Jov bring the bars. Production credit goes to Young Haiti.
lyrics
[Hook - EJA]
Lord, you give and taketh away
My life is yours I'm here to stay
And I know that you are real to me
I just want to be real to you
(x2)
[Verse 1 - The Wiz]
Lord what's real, is it something that I seen with my eyes
Felt with my spirit, and fills my heart with such a surprise
A holy disguise, masked in nature, all of your creation
These sensations are more than just divine imagination
They say prove to me you're real, but all I got is my word
They say how you make me feel, I say I'm free as bird
High as a kite, spirit is stirred
All of your might, wisdom conferred
Darkness or light, no longer blurred
Seeing your sights, living what's heard
Oh how absurd, they say, Lord I ask you change their hearts
But change mine too, it's true I been bruised from the start
I'll play my part in this war that's raging inside of me
Don't stop my clock, I'm running back to you on my knees, and so I pray:
[Hook]
[Verse 2 - Jovans]
FATHER, pour out a lil oil for your homie please
Now I'm anointed, please pardon all my iniquities
The word says, we gotta be just like your son
That's not close enough, I wanna be your # 1
I pulled out the greater key so I can close the box
Wisdom of Solomon, the lesser key is in my thoughts
I rather lose my sight than live with the sight of losing you
I'm NEO, I'm being forced to reach out for the blue
I choose red, and carry my flag for the blood instead
3:16 shots, I believe, in battle I use them as lead
If You see me walking away from Your gates, don't play
Before I fall, reach out and just take me away
GRACE!
[Bridge]
Wanna be wanna be wanna be real to you
Real to you
[Hook]
[Verse 3 - The Wiz]
Just wanna be real to you
Just wanna be real to you
You know my life
And you've seen my proof
But I still got questions
Will I ever hear the truth
Got doubts on my mind, sin got my head spinning
Help me to realize what I've seen in my visions
Writing these bars, from a spiritual prison
And God you're the key so I ask for remission
What's given, your life for mine, and yet I find it hard to believe
That I'm worthy Lord please send me faith the size of a mustard seed
Am I ready to bleed if they behead me ready to leave if they reject me
Don't test me, looking for the exit, following the world just seems to tempting
I know it's all a just a lesson but my biggest fear is rejection
Like when I finally see you and you tell me you have no recollection
Guess I'm just stressin or reflectin examples of your mercy
Lord you're perfect and true and through your son I become real to you
[Outro]
Hallelujah...
Hallelujah...
