Being Real Is The New Fake by Toni Jones Lyrics
In a world that is trying to be so real with each other, I surrender so I can get more real with myself
I no longer use social media as my diary, tell my story, market my testimony, reel others in to follow my steps, pitch the sale or promo
My story is not a commercial not a advertisement, I went to hell and heaven for this story, my story ain’t cheap
I share only the necessary when necessary
I find ways to practice mindfulness on social media
I’m stellar at this flawed perfection, spirit take me beyond real, all seeing eye don’t leave me to me
Show me how much more real I can get with myself, show me where I’m lying to myself, I am the only one on the planet I can’t lie to
Authenticity is a inside job not a brand to market myself as relatable
I won’t listen to the tongues of charmers who have sweet flattery to weave spells on my ego
Having to act small and insecure just to work and be in certain situations and environments, yea, never will be my testimony from now on
I see that nothing is as painful as staying the same, I will change to become not a new me, but a true me
Being real is the new fake, tryna be in a new place new place, the truth is hot the real is not
Being real is the new fake, tryna be in a new place, the truth is hot the real is not
I am truer to who I am remembering who I’ve always been
I drop into sovereign integrity that reigns over my program to be seen, heard, validated, liked and shared
My appetite is not for the culture to validate me but for me to validate myself to myself
I embody the gift of love and connection because it is who we all are, I courageously have accepted that truth no matter what
I ain’t got to exercise being down to earth to get others on this movement, I am attracting what I’m ready for
It’s ok to let go of managing others perceptions and stories of me yea its ok, it really is
My grind is to align for a couple of reasons, to sauce my future, be my now, and stunt on my past
Being real is the new fake, tryna be in a true place true place, the truth is hot the real is not
Being real is the new fake, tryna be in a true place, the truth is hot the real is not
I am not in competition with the world, I’m in harmony with the world, we homeboys
I am open to innovative ways to purify the way I use social media
I release any unseen need for validation and affirmation for who I am, what I do, what I sell, I mean what I offer
I won’t bend and fold into shapes that don’t fit my truth
I know excellence will cost the me that wants to portray my aspirational me, and the mess I want to hide cause it ain’t so IG shiny
I am a multimillion dollar home to myself
My actual self and aspirational self is at peace with each other
I won’t hustle for validation through oversharing, branding authenticity
I am enough
I am wise with what I share and what I keep
Transparency leads me to humble myself to serve
I won’t pimp my transparency for profit, I practice genuine commerce
Being real is the new fake so I claim I won’t be real, I will see where I’m fake, what’s fake in my life so I can be true with me
I will show growth, I will be growth
I won’t deny myself the opportunity to be real and private with myself
I innerstand that my growth and transparency does not require me to process emotions online publicly
Self discovery is my soul’s curriculum, to become more aware of my true identity as love, there is a lesson in that everyday
I won’t bend and fold into shapes that don’t fit my truth
I appreciate the realness of others and without compromising my true nature, I will offer myself in ways that can help others along their path of being more true
Ego says validate me with money, power, fame, feed me with materialism, convince me that I’m never enough
All energy like dat, Ion like that, but if its my tendency, I release that ish right now
I’m besides my learned self, even if I’m not recognizable and when others don’t know what to make of me
I won’t be a counterfeit of authentic Womanhood
Explaining less, it is what it is, less is more and more is less
I review all my stories and scripts about being real, keeping it real, the popularity of realness
I will not be a counterfeit of the awakened woman
I will live more content by being posted up in the experience of my life’s truth
Teach me soul of mine, I know you know what’s up
Being real is the new fake, tryna be in a true place true place, the truth is hot the real is not
The truth is hot the real is not
The truth is hot the real is not
Being real is the new fake, tryna be in a true place true place
