Reality is Real!
July 2017- May 2018, Gibson Chase-Pinkney

(Verse 1)
People like to pontificate, and love to tell you that 
The moon's a false projection and the world is really flat 
Things can't just be good or bad, and there's no real way to know 
To say you have an answer is to let your privilege show 
The laws of physics stay the same, regardless how you feel 
I hope you and I, at least can cry, that reality is real 
/ G Bm C D / C D G->Em / Am D Am D / G->Em->G->Em / C D G->Em / C->Am G->Em C D / G /

(Chorus 1)
Reality is real, Reality is real. 
The stars in the sky are burning gaseous spheres
Math works all right, and Physics makes it clear          
That reality is basically real
/ G - C G / G - D D7 / C D G->Em / C D G - /

(Verse 2)
Sometimes I almost lose my mind when somebody tells me that
It might be true for me, but for them there'r different facts 
Because they want it to be that way, that way then it is 
We'll repeat the same old bullshit that were fed to us as kids 
Well, our behavior has to change, regardless how we feel 
I hope you can take a stand, and present a strong appeal that reality is real 

(Chorus 2)
Reality is real, Reality is real. 
The stars in the sky are burning gaseous spheres
Math works all right, and Physics makes it clear          
That reality is basically real
/ G Em C G / G Em C DD7 / C D G->Em / C D G - /

(Verse 3)
The worlds a complex place, there's many questions left to ask 
how god or krishna made us, and for what spiritual task 
how can we know what came before, if none of us were there? 
We must trust revealed knowledge from a god who truly cares 
enough to lead our Lives with threats of hell inside our heads 
Well, I hope that you've dodged that trap and come to see instead that reality is real 

(Chorus 3)
Reality is real, Reality is real. 
The stars in the sky are burning gaseous spheres
Math works all right, and Physics makes it clear          
That reality is basically real
/ G Bm C G / G Em D D7 / C-Am DD7 G->Em / C->Am DD7 G - /

(Verse* 4)
Perhaps you've come across folks who think they can read the stars
and learn about the future by just shufflling their cards
and speak to ancient lifeforms in amethyst or jade
And let spinal sublimation cure the problems that you've made
For your body by not harnessing the boundless flow of ki
But I must insist, they prove all this, before giving up my plea, 
/ G Bm C D / C D G->Em / Am D Am D / G->Em->G->Em / C D G->Em / C->Am G->Em C D /
that reality is real,
reality is real. 
/C D Em / C - D - / G - - - /
