Real Knows Real Southern Soul Trap ldp

V6

[Intro - Spoken] Funny how the quiet tells you what you kept. I kept my word. [Verse 1] Mama kept the porch light on past ten, I came home carrying the weight again. She said, “Son, let your name mean what you say,” So I learned to make a promise earn its place. Old work boots by the kitchen door, A folded note from the one I’m working for. No grand speech, no borrowed crown, Just show up steady when the sun goes down. [Chorus] Real knows real when the room gets still, When the easy road bends and you choose your will. You can keep your word when the deal falls through, You can stand on your own and still make room. I don’t need the whole world calling my name, Just a few good hearts who remember the same. Real knows real, and the truth holds fast, What you build with your hands is what’s built to last. [Verse 2] Missed a few calls chasing one more check, Then I heard that small voice say, “You coming yet?” Set the keys down, let the supper get cold, There’s a kind of wealth that don’t get sold. My friend called late with his pride laid thin, I let him talk till the hurt wore dim. No sermon ready, no perfect line, Just, “I’m right here, take the time you need.” [Chorus] Real knows real when the room gets still, When the easy road bends and you choose your will. You can keep your word when the deal falls through, You can stand on your own and still make room. I don’t need the whole world calling my name, Just a few good hearts who remember the same. Real knows real, and the truth holds fast, What you build with your hands is what’s built to last. [Bridge - Spoken] You don’t have to be flawless to be faithful. Just tell the truth about where you’ve been, and keep walking toward the man you said you’d be. [Final Chorus] Real knows real when the room gets still, When the easy road bends and you choose your will. You can keep your word when the deal falls through, You can stand on your own and still make room. I don’t need the whole world calling my name, Just a few good hearts who remember the same. Real knows real, and the truth holds fast, What you build with your hands is what’s built to last. [Outro] What you build with your hands... Let it last.
