Unrealistic expectations

Uh...

The hardest dream to wake from...

Is the one you built in your head.

Yeah.

Expecting too much. (Boss vision)

Had this picture perfect vision, painted bold and grand,

Thought you, my whole world, would always understand.

Every need fulfilled, every void just wiped away,

Thought we'd be wavy forever, come what may.

Put all my dreams on one person, laid my heart on the line,

Expected magic moments, a supernatural sign.

But the mirror showed the truth, a reflection cold and stark,

Left me standin' in the struggle, gropin' in the dark.

(Woke!) Chasing perfect stories, painted scenes in my mind (Uh)

(Lyric!) Thought love was a fairy tale, the one-of-a-kind (Yeah)

But the fantasy fades, faced with flaws and real-life strain (Real talk)

(Boss vision!) Unrealistic expectations, bringin' nothing but the pain.

They tell you 'bout the forever, the happily ever after,

Ignorin' all the pain, the arguments, the silent laughter.

I bought into the hype, every single movie scene,

Thought my partner was the answer, truly independent, just as I had seen.

But nobody's a savior, no single soul can fill that space,

Every homie on the block knows, you gotta set your own pace.

Learned that respect starts inward, from the foundation you build strong,

No cap, the realest blessings are where you truly belong.

(Woke!) Chasing perfect stories, painted scenes in my mind (Uh)

(Lyric!) Thought love was a fairy tale, the one-of-a-kind (Yeah)

But the fantasy fades, faced with flaws and real-life strain (Real talk)

(Boss vision!) Unrealistic expectations, bringin' nothing but the pain.

Gotta shed those scars, the ones from dreams that couldn't breathe,

Embrace the imperfections, the true vibe we can weave.

My own ambition burnin', my own grind is set in stone,

This culture taught me lessons, now I stand on my own.

The true come up ain't finding a 'perfect' other half,

It's recognizing your own worth, and walking your own path. (Lyric Harmony!)

(Woke!) Chasing perfect stories, painted scenes in my mind (Uh)

(Lyric!) Thought love was a fairy tale, the one-of-a-kind (Yeah)

But the fantasy fades, faced with flaws and real-life strain (Real talk)

(Boss vision!) Unrealistic expectations, bringin' nothing but the pain.

The pain...

Yeah.

Real love ain't perfect.

It's real.

(Lyric Harmony)

Woke.

On God. Uh.
