Pearlies (My Oyster Is The World)

What is real? To me, what’s real is
An echo ringing out with no reply
Shout it out, I've done this hundreds of times
I'ma be real, I think you're all I need

What is real? It was so damn clear
Your gaze, your voice, your warmth
I was happy, this is my true self
Me and my girls getting our pearls

Back then, when my roof came crashing down
My whole life disappeared like a lie
Tell me what is real, tell me what is true
Please stop, the storm of April

In my shaky view
You’ve become the horizon, clear as day
It was that moment, that promise
I want to keep you for a long time

I'm incomplete
Without you now, without you now
Half of me
Just hear me out, hear me out
My salvation
You know, while recognizing me
You saved me, right?

What is real? To me, what’s real is
An echo ringing out with no reply
Shout it out, I've done this hundreds of times
I'ma be real, I think you're all I need

What is real? It was so damn clear
Your gaze, your voice, your warmth
I was happy, this is my true self
Me and my girls getting our pearls

You are the light
Guiding all the way to the end
It’s gonna shine more
The pearls that are mine

Even if I can’t see a foot ahead, up tempo
I held on tight to survive, my mental state
At the end of this tunnel of darkness
Unchanged, my life's measure

Hurt like hell, but, baby, we’re alive
Rocks on my neck, they're one of a kind
These pearls in my mind are pricier than diamonds, yeah

I'm incomplete
Without you now, without you now
Half of me
Just hear me out, hear me out
My salvation
You know, while recognizing me
You saved me, right?

What is real? To me, what’s real is
An echo ringing out with no reply
Shout it out, I've done this hundreds of times
I'ma be real, I think you're all I need

What is real? It was so damn clear
Your gaze, your voice, your warmth
I was happy, this is my true self
Me and my girls getting our pearls

You are the light
Guiding all the way to the end
It’s gonna shine more
The pearls that are mine

As time passes, now I understand
It wasn't about possessing pearls
But the wisdom that builds up inside me
I'ma be real, I think you're all I need

Whatever waves come crashing now
Don’t forget, we are the ocean
It was real, all these moments
Me and my girls getting our pearls
