This song needs to be in Forza but with the Roman Tranchart Remix & the Original version needs to be in Need For Speed The Crew & GTA

This song just popped in my head out of nowhere. Got to put Res back in the rotation.

Great underrated song!

2019 still her fan

THIS WHOLE ALBUM AND RES is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slept on😥😢..She would be a breathe of fresh air if she did an album for 2019...💯❤😘🎵🎼🎶🎧 true MUSIC connoisseurs love and appreciate you 💕❤

I been loving this song since it came out years ago!! I wish they would have gave it more play !! But glad it’s here so I can hear it over and over if I want:)
Golden boy!!

2019 We know the truth about you! 🎶🔥

The song is so fly, groovy and real. The song is about guys in the music industry. It's all an illusion. "We know the truth about you!"

I bought this and Dido's album back in the early 2000's in Hawaii. This was a dope ass track by Res! Felt like she was talking about me in the song though.😄

2018 fa real...she was way before her time.

I heard this song was about Mos Def...

That make sense if it's TRUE

This whole project is Underrated!

Is this beautiful lady single I need a real woman in my life. Like this beautiful lady.

Read an article years ago that this was about will Smith.... "Prince of all the magazine's" "place you in these robes and tell you you're the greatest man.... The Ali role.

Who's listening in 2018?

This song is more relevant than ever before.

My LIL Bro put me up on her.. R.I.P. TERRY JR YOU ARE TRULY MISSED

I always loved Res music its awesome

This was a dope video.. RES!!!!!

After actually listening to this with headphones, the kicks and bass gave me a whole new appreciation for it.

This album never gets old!

Verse 1]
Why are you selling dreams of who you wish you could be
A prince in all of the magazines
They have no words for the man I’ve seen
You talk real fast 'fore they see your face
But would they love you if they knew all the things we know
We got these images
We need them to be true
Not ready to believe we're no more insecure than you

[Pre-Hook]
But then there's girls like me who sit appalled at what we see
We know the truth about you
Now you're the prince of all the magazines
That is a dangerous thing

[Hook]
Now would they love you if we knew all the things that we know
Those golden boys are all a fraud
Don't believe their show
Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know
Golden boy
Life ain't a video

[Pre-Hook]


Golden boys

[Verse 2]
Place you in these robes and tell you you're the greatest man
And you believe in playing cards
Got dealt a winning hand
Don't you get tired of the show
The kissing ass of all the people that you wanna know
When I was young I thought you had it won
I saw you on TV, you made life look fun and yeah
Years go by and people grow
I realize it's all a freak show

[Pre-Hook] + [Hook] + [Pre-Hook]

[Bridge]
Girls like me don’t need no bubbling mindstate throwing in my face
Girls like me don’t need no bubbling mindstate thrown up in my face
Though where you going ain’t gonna be no stroll in the sunshine
Can’t turn it back now baby you gone and pass that line
Girls like me we give it on up now, so give it on up now
So what you gonna do

[Pre-Hook]

[Hook]

this is an incest anthem to me. when will we stop protecting the men that's suppose to protect us in the family
and stop sweeping shit under the rug. they shine to others but we know the truth about you. so busy trying to protect their position for wealth but it never feeds the dynasty, so it becomes a cycle of hush hush that gets passed on of the backs of true women. 2017 the year of the goddess!! Stand up finally!!

I think she went the other way and tried exposing bad behavior before it was a trend. Not an incest anthem

Minnitolla on the Weeknd Album swishin with Francia in supervision copyright relic

One of the greatest tracks to emerge in the early 00's

Res was Rihanna before Rihanna... Which makes me sad because she was just as beautiful while being more essentric and mature in her sound/songwriting. She should've been huge but she was about 6-7 years ahead of her time. The game wasn't ready for her

Trill104
Huh?

No comparison , Res is her own....

Trill104 i used to drive around getting high and listening to this cd over and over again. It was like too real for the real

* too real for the world, than and now still..

2019😤

Agreed, she was way ahead of her time. This whole album is perfect. I don't even listen to stuff like this. I dig Slayer, Ed Rush & Optical, James Brown, and a bunch of other weird stuff. LOL

So damned good!

ughh what tuning is this song in?

THIS SONG GIVES ME LIFE! That beat is soooo funky and she is so real..luv you Res!✌

I agree I've looking for this song I'm glad I found it. This song stuck in my head Lol since the first moment I heard & seen the video yrs back this song is still 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 n 2016 Mch Luv Res 😘👊

omg I was so young

i was 11 lol

Bby Girl I was 6 😂

I hate it that people SLEPT on this track. At the time, it had more class and substance than most that was being offered. I would love to see this being featured in a soundtrack for a show or movie, just to see artistry claim more relevance. I envision seeing it used on Scandal. :)

David Antes I didn't even know this song existed until I heard the Romain Tranchart remix.

Whole album got slept on and it was a damn shame.

damn good 🎶music I love this artist

Majestic
