When It Gets Real

When It Gets Real

I needed a shoulder

And to talk through some stuff

Some I thought would answer didn’t

Some surprised me and showed up

It opened my eyes

Hitting rock bottom

Some let me down

But some let me know I’ve got em

When it gets real

That’s when ya know

The ones you can count on

And the ones just for show

When shit hits the fan

That’s really when

You understand the deal

When it gets real

Everyone had their glass out

When I was popping champagne

When my glass was empty

Some acted like they didn’t know my name

Good time friends

Are a dime a dozen

But see how many are still around

When the pushin comes to shoving

When it gets real

That’s when ya know

The ones you can count on

And the ones just for show

When shit hits the fan

That’s really when

You understand the deal

When it gets real

When it gets real

That’s when you’ll see

Exactly who ya can

And who you ….. can’t believe

When shit hits the fan

That’s really when

You understand the deal
