[Pre-Chorus: Brandon Carter]
What can we do when awake
What can you do when asleep?
Hope you wake the next day
Just hope you prayed, and have faith
I know what's real and what's not
There's nothing left I can say
You gotta stay true to the sanity
We gotta stick to our families
[Chorus: Malia Carter & Brandon Carter]
Oh, I'm stuck in reality (Ality, ality)
Oh, I'm stuck in reality (Ality, ality)
Oh, I'm stuck in reality (Ality, ality)
Oh, I'm stuck in reality (Ality, ality)
Oh, I'm stuck in reality
[Verse 1: Brandon Carter]
What's these lies
What's this world we don' made up
What's it to you when you're a murderer, but try to change up?
People missin' their family, and you can't make up everything you've costed them in a blink of an eye
Everybody fightin' over the piece of the pie
But word to the wise, time is the only thing you'll get towards a prize
This world you live in is life in disguise
When you wake up the next day, you best be thankful to be alive
'Cause there can be people cryin' over you, when they near the bed where you died
It's gon' take a whole lot of it to open your eyes
Just know who's listenin' when you deliver a lie
Get your heads out the clouds before your bed's in the skies
These are hard hittin' words; it's a knockout
You're rumblin' with your fate when you gamblin', so you best snap out
You ain't gettin' anywhere with the violence, so put the gun down
Don't sell yourself to cancer, your cigar gon' make you blackout
Don't drink another bottle before you pass out
'Cause if your life is worth the while, then you just don' cashed out
All we need to end this trip is a roadblock
Steady, ready, embedded to resist some "rogue" cops
Tappin' in your phone, people tryna eavesdrop
Sunset shinin' over the drawbridge
Commercials finna play just to draw kids
Evil side of these teachers are 'bout to let they palm slip
School is just a part of life to be helpful
Unless you got some talent, you skippin' never
You walkin' in and out to be successful
Kind of hard to breathe when your lung's clogged
Think it's over when your bone pops
Tellin' all you believers just to calm down
But I guess you thinkin' UFOs are about to invade town
[Pre-Chorus: Brandon Carter]
What can we do when awake
What can you do when asleep?
Hope you wake the next day
Just hope you prayed, and have faith
I know what's real and what's not
There's nothing left I can say
You gotta stay true to the sanity
Oh, we gotta stick to our families
[Chorus: Malia Carter & Brandon Carter]
Oh, I'm stuck in reality (Ality, ality)
Oh, I'm stuck in reality (Ality, ality)
Oh, I'm stuck in reality (Ality, ality)
Oh, I'm stuck in reality (Ality, ality)
Oh, I'm stuck in reality
[Verse 2: Brandon Carter]
The longer I live, the harder it is
The more that you take, the more you must give
World resists, these people don't know what the meanin' of life is
When the killers are gone, the storm swipes in
When the storms are gone, earthquakes rumblin'
Disaster has been brought upon us
You asked for him once, but this time, He's callin'
Don't let the fear of what could happen make nothin' happen
I know you're takin' the hardships, but you can't fathom
Don't plan a future with people who don't have future plans
Don't live your life as a cheater, and take relationships as a scam
Time to go back where it all began
Have to move forward, and stop holding on to the past at hand
Can't only accept your gains, also accept your losses
Or who you invested your energy with and when it's time to deposit
