One's from the church, one loves the club
Musiq and pain please help me judge

They fightin' for the camera time
On the final episode, yea

('cause we ain't scared to do what other people do in the open)





Make a reality show

Overall Meaning

In T-Pain's song "Reality Show", he describes a couple who have decided to create a reality show about their relationship. The couple consists of "one dude, one lady", "one sane, one crazy", but they love each other regardless. The lyrics explain that they have a big house but no babies, and they have a big dog who is lazy. Although the couple has some similarities, such as one singing R&B and the other singing funk, they are also different. Despite their differences, they are willing to split the rent and stay together.


T-Pain then goes on to describe how he wants to create a reality show to find a girlfriend. He wants a variety of women from different backgrounds and body types. He claims that it doesn't matter to him if the woman is "ghetto hip-hop," "skinny funk rock," or "make her booty clap" girl, he wants a diverse group. He wants to create a show where he can showcase his options and ultimately choose one woman.


Overall, the song is a commentary on relationships and the entertainment industry. T-Pain is critical of the way that people view relationships and how often people look for entertainment value in them. He suggests that people are too focused on creating shows about relationships and finding a partner rather than focusing on the actual relationship.
