“Too Real” was the second single off FIDLAR’s third album, Almost Free. It’s about the political climate in America, and how people like to act outraged by politics and refuse to engage in civil discourse.
Too Real Lyrics
[Intro]
Well I've been thinking about things I can’t say
'Cause everybody freaks out every single day
And if they weren’t so stupid they would open their eyes
And d-d-d-d-drugs man, saved my life
And I walk up in this bitch like I own the place
'Cause everybody is rich in the United States
There’s a bunch of white people calling white people white
Yeah, I don’t think you can say that, that ain’t right
But of course the government is gonna fuckin' lie!
[Verse 1]
Well, of course the government is gonna fuckin' lie
Bunch of white people calling white people white
And why the hell is everybody on their phone?
Why is the answer to life on the fuckin' phone?
And is the answer to my happiness in the cloud?
And if I die will anyone notice if I’m not around?
And if I’m not gonna make it then I’m gonna have to kill
Aw shit, man, was that too fuckin' real?
[Chorus]
Was that too fuckin' real?
Was that too fuckin' real?
Was that too fuckin' real?
Was that too fuckin' real?
[Verse 2]
Well, I know you liked me better when I was reserved
When I was just like you and I was part of the herd
I don’t need another reason to decide
G-g-g-g-get the hell out my life
And I’m sick of being in this stupid place
I’m sick of being a part of someone's database
And all the bullshit bands that are on the charts
Yeah motherfuckers, you know who you are
Let’s pretend that EDM didn’t happen at all
And that politics are why you drink alcohol
And you can blame it on the left
Or you can blame it on the right
No, just admit it, you just like to fight
No, you just like to fight
No, you just like to fight
You’ve gone so far to the left
You ended up on the right
You’ve gone so far to the right
You don’t care if you’re right
Are you really feeling guilty about being white?
What’s that like?
[Chorus]
Was that too fuckin real?
Was that too fuckin' real?
Was that too fuckin' real?
Was that too fuckin' real?
Too Real Q&A
Who wrote Too Real's ?
Too Real was written by FIDLAR.
Who produced Too Real's ?
Too Real was produced by Ricky Reed.
What was Zac Carper's lyric-writing process like?
I purposely didn’t spend that much time on lyrics, because I didn’t want to obsess over it. I just wrote this all in one day, after a session I did with this EDM duo called GTA. I was just inspired by the way that they work.
What are Zac's lyrics about?
This one was inspired by basically everything that was going on, and everything on the Internet. I was like, “I’m just going to try to write one song that just wraps this all up.”
