The Realest One
Usher · Other Songs - Usher
even with all that i kept that two on the side
wanna search to find the one to be my everything
believe me, it ain't easy
but i'm determined that she's out there (where)
somewhere i just gotta get up and meet her
overlooking the fact that i mgiht be right here with her
she the one to check me, never disrespect me
when sh*t gets hectic she'll protect me
model f*ck with her and say she bad
not knowing she the realest that i ever had
she's the realest girl i've ever been with (oh oh oh)
the one you wanna show your life to (show your life to)
the only one that understands and make you a better man
yeah i got a real one, hey i got a real one
she's the realest girl i've ever been with
now that i got her i ain't tryna go back
i done had a lot of women in my life and for the first time
she's the realest girl i've ever been with (whoa oh oh oh oh)
now usually the girl i'm talking bout is the worst treated
but first needed to help me get through my problems
she's heard it all, seen them come and go
even though i hurt her time and time again
she's still right there to help me solve them
telling me i deserve so much better then what i'm dealing with
showing me they ain't there for me and she ain't feeling it
telling me that it's your life do what you gotta do
but i bet you'll come right back
and what's crazy i did exactly what she said and came right back
what about your family they tryna stop me
they told me think about your image
ay i wish they could see that
she's the realest girl i've ever been with (oh oh oh)
the one you wanna show your life to (everything)
the only one that understands and make you a better man
yeah i got a real one, hey i got a real one
she's the realest girl i've ever been with
now that i got her i ain't tryna go back
i done had a lot of women in my life and for the first time
listen, there's only so many ways to know that
you're heading in the right direction
you gotta find your way
make sure you feel it in your heart
and even then you may not know for sure (for sure)
if she'll be the one to keep you happy
you got too many moves, too much to learn
you got so much to lose
when you know you got a real one
she's the realest girl i've ever been with
the one you wanna show your life to (show your life to)
the only one that understands and make you a better man
yeah i got a real one, hey i got a real one
she's the realest girl i've ever been with
now that i got her i ain't tryna go back
see i done had a lot of women in my life and for the first time
she's the realest girl i've ever been with
she's the realest girl i've ever been with
the one you wanna show your life to (show your life to)
the only one that understands and make you a better man
yeah i got a real one, hey i got a real one
she's the realest girl i've ever been with
now that i got her i ain't tryna go back
see i done had a lot of women in my life and for the first time
she's the realest girl i've ever been with
The Realest One
Usher's 'The Realest One' stands as a quintessential example of his mid-2000s R&B and pop sensibilities, characterized by smooth vocal delivery and emotive songwriting. Released during a period where Usher solidified his status as a leading figure in contemporary soul, the track exemplifies the genre's focus on romantic vulnerability and polished production. While often associated with his broader discography from that era, the song reflects the same themes found in his most celebrated works, such as 'Confessions,' exploring the complexities of love and commitment. The recording captures the polished aesthetic that defined Usher's career at the time, blending traditional R&B harmonies with modern pop structures to create a timeless appeal that resonates with listeners seeking authentic emotional expression in music.
