REALIST THEORY

Compare yourself to who you were yesterday…

Not to who someone else is today…

Reality keeps score…

⸻

I see things different now, not through emotion or pride

Just observing what it is, not what I want to decide

No bias in the vision, no attachment to the view

Just the truth in its rawest form, nothing added to it too

I used to think life’s simple, black and white in its design

Now I know it’s more complex when you look beneath the lines

People say one thing but their actions never match

Claim they got your back but disappear when it cracks

⸻

Most wanna see you win, just not more than them

Clap when you’re rising but uncomfortable again

Smile in your face but it’s different within

That’s something I clock now, I don’t ignore it again

⸻

Reality keeps score…

You can’t fake it for long…

⸻

Money’s not everything, I see it clearer these days

Time is what matters and the love that you gave

People chase status but they miss what is real

Moments you can’t get back, that’s the truth that you feel

And it’s mad how the closest can turn into strangers

Or stay just long enough to remind you of danger

But I don’t take it personal, I see it for what it is

Most people fighting battles they don’t even admit

⸻

Loyalty, love, time, respect — that’s my base now

Anything less than that, I don’t entertain now

No more letting things slide just to keep the peace

I’d rather stand alone than be surrounded by the weak

⸻

(soft)

Don’t lie… not even to yourself…

⸻

The truth is you only get one shot at this life

So I’m making the most of every moment and time

I don’t compare anymore, I just focus on me

Who I was yesterday versus who I can be

And yeah life’s unfair, yeah it hits sometimes

But that’s part of the process, that’s part of the climb

And I’d rather face truth than live in a lie

’Cause reality don’t bend, no matter how you try

⸻

Reality keeps score…
