I’m not here to sugarcoat truth
This life is realness and every day is proof
I won’t pretend to be someone’s best ideal
Goals for myself are set, they gonna have to deal
Not after fakes, no facade, that ain’t my call
Every day, taking back my power so I stand tall
No more time for pretending, so no more games
Getting on with being me, a being with no shame
This is all the realness, I’m not serving tea
Not after some idealness, I’m just serving me
A work of art in progress, evolving just like you
Every day in every way, authenticity shining through
No more trying to fit into someone else’s mold
No more pretending to be all of what they told
To be perfect, to be rich, to be thin, to be tall
Kick all of it aside, I can only be me after all
Hate it you’re after some idealized version of me
All I serve is realness, and it’s all I’ll ever need
I don’t chase validation, I seek no other’s praise
Rather just live my truth, no apologies or faking ways
This is all the realness, I’m not serving tea
Not after some idealness, I’m just serving me
A work of art in progress, evolving just like you
Every day in every way, authenticity shining through
At the end of the day, it is as it must be
I live the life in front of me so in it I’ll be free
This is all the realness, I’m not serving tea
Don’t want none of that idealness, I’m just serving me
So here’s some free advice, and may it be helpful, too
Gotta live that realness, or wind up living like a fool
Let go of that idealness, don’t let its hooks get through
Save that tea for a rainy day, your truth can speak for you
