what is real (new edition) Lyrics

I wake up everyday looking myself in the mirror

Saying what an awesome gentleman I am

Many don't know my story but someday

They'll realize that the real me the whole time is what I been

Sometimes I feel so selfish I couldn't give back, but everything I do is in my heart

Sometimes I think I'll never pass when I fail

And it tears me apart

But what's exciting... Sometimes you gotta keep holding on to what's real (It's finding)

The perfect gift that makes you feel what you feel

(I'm fighting) For the purpose of my life that no one would steal

So I keep on holding on to what is real.

I walk right down the streets

Greeting everybody I know

Even if I can't tell them what they're missing

Everyone has a part to play

But that ain't stopping me

Ooo I wish some people would listen

Sometimes I feel so selfish I couldn't give back, but everything I do is in my heart

Sometimes I think I'll never pass when I fail

And it tears me apart

But what's exciting... Sometimes you gotta keep holding on to what's real

(It's finding) The perfect gift that makes you feel what you feel (I'm fighting)

For the purpose of my life that no one would steal

So I keep on holding on to what is real

I have a reason a reason to smile

Reasons to be thankful for the people I got

I have many reasons to say I am complete

I knew along the way I was taught

From what's exciting... Sometimes you gotta keep holding on to what's real (It's finding)

The perfect gift that makes you feel what you feel (I'm fighting)

For the purpose of my life that no one would steal

So I keep on holding on to what is real
