I Want A "Real" Man

by Tracey Mansfield


fake hair
fake nails
fake eyes
Doc removed the fat from’em
so I guess I got fake thighs

fake lashes
fake Gucci sunglasses
fake Louie designer bag
fake ass smile
cause inside I’m really sad

fake lips
fake tits
fake ass
born & raised in the hood
so I guess I got fake class

fake friends
fake trips to the gym
fake attitude
fake gratitude
fake praise
phony ways

fake success
boring ass life
so now I’m fakin stress
fake lovin
cause my in the meantime man
is some other chicks husband

fake money in the bank
fakin like my shit don’t stank
fakin like I got it all together
fakin like I am the earthly version of heaven

so damned f’d up and fake
I don’t know where the fake she ends
and the real me begins

But damn it.
I still want me a “real” man.
