"The Reason" lyrics

You messing with a real one
Everybody out here tryna feel some
Out here tryna find a bit of real love
Hard to do it when your heart is sealed shut

Yeah, okay
Yeah, they been scheming
Talking 'bout dreams they been dreaming
Wanting to make it a living
Just doing something they love
Out here making a difference
They gon' decide they decisions
Never explaining they missions
Because the way they lived us, yeah
Hard to be patient because they want what they want
They been working in silence, they never thought it was us
You can't just polish the rust, you gotta honor the love, yeah
Chasing dollars is fun but is a dollar enough?

You messing with a real one
Everybody out here tryna feel some
Out here tryna find a bit of real love
Hard to do it when your heart is sealed shut, okay

Look in my eyes, never let the light die
Look in my eyes, never let the light die

Okay
Here we go
I told 'em "you want it? you gotta get it"
Goin' toe to toe with notions
I told 'em to be relentless
Never get stuck in the motions
I'm cool some with every ceilings, I
Tears are overflowing just like they ain't give my opinions, I
Ideas are just ideas until somebody get 'em finished
I told 'em that before but they always skipping attendance, they
Always paid the price for them never paying attention
They still gon' hear me later talking 'bout you never mention you...

A real one
Everybody out here tryna feel some
Out here tryna find a bit of real love
Hard to do it when your heart is sealed shut (Everyone)
You messing with a real one (Everyone)
Everybody out here tryna feel some (Everyone)
Out here tryna find a bit of real love (Everyone)
Hard to do it when your heart is sealed shut, yeah, okay (Everyone)

Everyone
Everyone, yeah
