The final lines tie back to the idea of being a real boy, and the wise man's words of finding his way. Kanye expresses the pressures he faces from others - to smile for the camera or to autograph something - and how it makes him feel like he's not living a real life. He acknowledges that he tells the truth, but still feels like he's searching for something that he can't quite find. In the second verse, Kanye continues the Pinocchio metaphor, recognizing that his pursuit of fame and success is similar to Pinocchio's pursuit of becoming a real boy. He wants to know what it feels like to live a real life and be a real boy, not just a facade on TV. Kanye then ponders the idea that there is nothing materialistic he could buy that would fill the void he's feeling. He poses a question to his audience, asking them if they think he's sacrificed real life for the fame and flashing lights that come with his success. In the opening verse of Pinocchio Story, Kanye reflects on the idea that he may never find real love, despite having everything else in the world figured out.
