[Lyric] What If We Were Real Neva Remix (Mandisa)

[Intro: Mandisa]
Na na na, na, na, na-na, na
Na na na, na, na, na-na
You've got to be real

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm tired of saying everything
I feel like I'm supposed to say
I'm tired of smilin' all the time
I wanna throw the mask away
Sometimes, you just have a bad day
Sometimes, you just wanna scream
Tell me I'm not the only one
Tell me that you feel just like me

[Chorus]
We keep tryin' to make it look so nice
And we keep hidin' what's goin' on inside
But what if I share my brokenness?
What if you share how you feel?
And what if we weren't afraid of this crazy mess?
What if we were real?
What if we were real?
(What if, what, what if, what)
[Verse 2]
I'm over hidin' my tears
I think I'm gonna let ‘em go
I'm over actin' so strong
When I ain't even in control
We make it so complicated
But why does it have to be?
Why can't we open our hearts
And let everybody see?

[Chorus]
We keep tryin' to make it look so nice
And we keep hidin' what's goin' on inside
But what if I share my brokenness?
What if you share how you feel?
And what if we weren't afraid of this crazy mess?
What if we were real?
What if we were real?
(What if, what, what if, what)

[Bridge]
We'd think a little less of ourselves
We'd care about somebody else
'Cause we'd know just how they feel
Maybe we could let someone love us
Maybe we'd be a little more like Jesus
Why can't we learn to be real?
Na na na, na, na, na-na, na
Na na na, na, na, na-na, na
[Chorus]
We keep tryin' to make it look so nice (To make it look so nice)
And we keep hidin' what's goin' on inside
But what if I share my brokenness?
What if you share how you feel?
And what if we weren't afraid of this crazy mess?
What if we were real?

[Outro]
What if we were
Na na na, na, na, na-na, na
Na na na, na, na
(What if, what, what if, what)
(What if, what, what if, what)
You've got to—
