Real
by Cheno Lyfe, Giel

Album: Lunar

I was a thought, an imagination
A figment, mistake was my foundation
But the script rewritten for this occasion
My arrival was greeted with such joyful elation
Good kid, big dreams, world full of chance,
Knack for life regardless of the cards hand,
Parental love kept my heart brand,
I was that kid with success painted my life's canvas,
I kept strait A's all through my school years,
The cool kid amongst all of my school peers,
A beast that ruled fields, I had that fourth too speed ain't no catching me in full gear
But yeah they say puppy love can't last
But they couldn't have taken this same glance and see the beauty that made me create plans
And promise with her I'll be reciting vows behind stained glass

Chorus:
Is this a dream, is this a love I'm feelin' ?
If it ain't real, then what's real?
I'm hopin' 'cause I believe if I can see it, I can touch it
I can touch it I can feel it,
Who to say that what I'm feeling ain't real?
'cause this love's on a whole nother level
Stopping no never. uhh
With a love to be fulfilled,
So tell me that this love is real.

I would see her daily, and as the time passed,
She was in full control of me as my mind lapsed,
But I couldn't build the courage to dive pass,
That split second of fear my mind had that bad,
I didn't even know her name yet sad,
Tongue tied every time I said hey, sad
Till one I decided to advance,
And finally move pass my fear and asking for her math,
And she laughed and we joked and she passed and I choked,
And I was crushed like glass but it would be my last,
I knew that something could begin, so we remain good friends I wouldn't let this be the end
Till she caved and I made her my best friend and late night convos converted her to girlfriend
Now we on our way to college freshmen, and all I'm thinking about is who's going to be my best man?

Chorus:
Is this a dream, is this a love I'm feelin' ?
If it ain't real, then what's real?
I'm hopin' 'cause I believe if I can see it, I can touch it
I can touch it I can feel it,
Who to say that what I'm feeling ain't real?
'cause this love's on a whole nother level
Stopping no never. uhh
With a love to be fulfilled,
So tell me that this love is real.

The years passed, we've grown closer,
Tears and laughs molded the love ive shown,
Seen the class and college bout over, career paths set
And all thats left is my proposal
Had it all planned almost to a 'T'
Had to scratch a few ideas though, cause they was sorta cheesy,
My birthday comin made it to a quarter century
And I gotta let her know, what shawty meant to me
The day came and I said that this had to be, but then it hit me hard reality
I knew me birthday would end sadly,
So we sat there I couldn't believe this was happenin
She looked so confused this is a sad scene,
But all along I just knew it had to be
Told her I wish this was real and you'd marry me,
But 25 years ago, mama decided not to carry me, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

This love is on a whole nother level
Stoppin no never
When you love to be fulfilled,
These are the thoughts of a life unlived
