The Real Thing

It's not the drink it’s the way you are, the way you wink
It's not a 'style' it’s the way you live, the way you think
It's not a scene it’s the way you love, the way you dream
It's not exclusive it’s not V.I.P celebrity

If you've got it you will know, take your time and build it slow
If you're strong enough then maybe you're the real thing?
It wont always be clear but those around will lend an ear
You show no fear because you know you are the real thing

It's not the talk, it’s the way you walk
Its' not for sale, it's beyond retail to much avail
It's not how loud you shout, it’s the message you put out
So if you really want some clout then work at something

It's not easy being true, So take care in what you do
Don’t get deluded when they try to break your art
You will suffer for your vision, so walk the line with wild precision
And stay alive, alive with fists of beating hearts!
