WYSIWYG!

If I had one chance to In my life again
I wouldn't make no changes Now or way back when
And if everything turns out The way I hope it goes
But I cant wait to find out What it is that God knows

But I don't wanna think about What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day 'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real guy
I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little boy
I know exactly who I am

And nothing's ever perfect There's no guarantee
And if I knew the answers It would put my mind at ease
So I'll just keep on going The way I've gone so far
And maybe I'll end up Tryin' to catch a fallin star

But I don't wanna think about What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day 'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real guy
I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little boy
I know exactly who I am

This is who I am
Don't need you to understand
'Cause everything is right where it should be
It wont be long til you know about me,
'Cause I don't give a ....
Even when I'm out of love
'Cause everythings just how it should be
And it wont be long till you know about me

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real guy
I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little boy
I know exactly who I am


I love this song. Though it's not new but i finally bought the track and the remixes yesterday night and had been playing it over and over. It just made Lenny Kravitz's 'It ain't over till it's over' so much appealing again. While you might said having a song completely sample over another song is not unique or lack of originality but then if it works, it works. Another good example being PM Dawn's track 'Set Adrift on Memory Bliss' which built around Spandau Ballet's True and of course, Madonna almost built her Hung Up fully on ABBA's Gimme Gimme Gimme.
