The lyrics of Young Divas's song "Got to Be Real" express the idea of authenticity and the importance of being honest with oneself and others. The singer asks the listener to identify what they find, feel, and know to be real, suggesting that this self-awareness is essential to building meaningful relationships. The chorus reinforces this message, proclaiming that true love is authentic and that it is here to stay. The repetition of the phrase "it's time to be real" highlights the urgency of the message and the need for honesty in all aspects of life.
