So Real Lyrics - Monkey Business - Black Eyed Peas

[Will.i.am] -- 

Johnny wanna be a big star 

Get on stage and play the guitar 

Make a little money 

buy a fancy car 

Big old house and an alligator 

Just to match with them alligator shoes 

Hes a rich man so hes no longer singin the blues 

Hes singing songs about material things 

and platinum rings and watches that go bling 

But, diamonds don't bling in the dark 

He a star now, but he aint singing from the heart 

Sooner or later hes just gonna fall apart 

Coz hes fans can't relate to his new found art 

He ain't doing what he did from the start 

and thats putting in some filling in flaw 

He decided to live his life shallow 

Passion is love for material

[Jack Johnson] -- 

And its gone.gone.going. 

gone.everything gone.give a damn. 

gone be the birds when they don't wanna sing. 

gone people.up arkward with their things. 

Gone. 

[Will.i.am] -- 

You see yourself in the mirror and ya 

Feel safe coz it looks familiar but ya 

Afraid to open up your soul coz ya 

Don't really know 

Don't really know 

who is, 

The person thats deep within 

Coz your content with just being 

the naive brown man and ya 

Fail to see that its trivial 

Insignificent, you addicted to material 

I've seen your kind before 

Your the type that thinks souls is sold in a store 

Packaged up with insense sticks 

With them vegatarian meals 

To you thats rightous 

You're fiction like books 

you need to go out to life and look 

Coz.What happens when they take your material and you already sold ya soul 

and its. 

[Jack Johnson] -- 

.gone.going. 

gone.everything gone.give a damn. 

gone be the birds when they don't wanna sing. 

gone people.up arkward with their things. 

Gone. 

[Will.i.am] -- 

You say that time is money 

and money is time 

so you got mind in ya money 

and ya money on ya mind 

But what about. 

That crime thatcha did to get paid 

And what about. 

That bid, you can't take it to your brain 

[Jack Johnson] -- 

What about those shoes you'll wear today 

They'll do no good 

On the bridges you've walked along the way 

[Will.i.am] -- 

All that money that you got 

Gonna be gone 

That gear that you rock 

gonna be gone 

The house up on the hill 

gonna be gone 

The golden purse on your grill 

gonna be gone 

The ice on your wrist 

gonna be gone 

That nice little miss 

gonna be gone 

That whip that you roll 

gonna be gone 

And whats worst is your soul'll be gone 

[Jack Johnson] -- 

And its gone.gone.going. 

gone.everything gone.give a damn. 

gone be the birds when they don't wanna sing. 

gone people.up arkward with their things. 

Gone.
