Her daddy had the money, all the milk and honey
She never had to pay any dues
Don't know what her name is but man she sure is famous
She keeps herself all over the news
They're paying close attention, the new Inside Edition
Is feeding all they can to her fans
She's got the paparazzi behind her Macerate
Their snapping off as much as they can
I say why, why, why has it got be such a big deal?
We try, try, try
I've come to the conclusion we're living an illusion
Better off just keeping it real, better off keeping it real
She got a brand new movie 'bout giving up the bootie
She showed it all and nobody cared
And made her such a mess when she didn't get the press
So she went and cut off all her hair
I say why, why, why has it got to be such a big deal?
We try, try, try
I've come to the conclusion we're living an illusion
Better off keeping it real, better off keeping it real
I say why, why, why has it got to be such a big deal?
We try, try, try
I've come to the conclusion we're living an illusion
Better off keeping it real, better off keeping it real
He said he didn't do it, they couldn't hold him to it
He smiled and walked away a free man
The glove didn't fit him, the jury said acquit him
It all worked out the way that he planned
But he couldn't live without it, he wrote a book about it
Yeah, everything he did that night
They didn't get him for the crime but he's gonna do the time
'Cause he's got to get back in the spotlight
I say why, why, why has it got to be such a big deal?
We try, try, try
I've come to the conclusion we're living an illusion
Better off just keeping it real
I've come to the conclusion we're living an illusion
Better off keeping it real, oh better off keeping it real
Oh we're better off just keeping it real
