Verse 1: Music is my only talent, I’m the first to admit it/I’m not complaining or nothing, I’m not amazing I get it/stick with a phrase and defend it/if you get faint or offended/you press replay cuz I meant it/fame is the greatest incentive/this instrumental’s a canvas and the lyrics are my paint brush/you say you carry the earth on your shoulders, I guess the earth doesn’t weigh much/I’m getting sick of this fake love/why you gonna flex if you ain’t tough?/why do you think you can beat me in this competition you bitches, you ain’t guns/it’s kinda interesting, don’t you think?/you’ll miss me now don’t you blink/I’m mischievous on the beat/and I killed this shit so critique/if I’m different you’ll notice me/I’m so gifted, flow to the beat/I specifically don’t believe in giving into your beliefs
Chorus: I do this for real, I do this for real/I don’t want the money, I’ll just do it for the thrill/I do this for real, I do this for real/I’ve been working hard, all you wanna do is chill yeah... (I do this for real X5)
Verse 2: There’s something ‘bout it, I don’t know how to explain it/it’s just a feeling you get when you’re walking up on the stage/I’ve been coughing up blood for days, a coffin’s where I was raised/my concert’s the only place where I’m constantly getting praised/I’ll be doing this till the day that I die/it’s the only way that I feel alive/it’s the only way I can get up every day of my life and know I’ll survive/I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life/honestly all they did was give me drive/sometimes I look at myself in the mirror and think about everything I didn’t do right/okay, if you think I’m gonna stop, no way/honestly I started thinking about it, I started drinking about it, I can’t believe it, it was so fake/even if I won’t cave/I can’t believe that I told everybody I’m thinking of giving up/in 2020 I know imma live it up/imma restart my career just to prove that I don’t give a fuck (for real)
Chorus: I do this for real, I do this for real/I don’t want the money, I’ll just do it for the thrill/I do this for real, I do this for real/I’ve been working hard, all you wanna do is chill yeah... (I do this for real X5)
Bridge: If they hate you, then you’re probably doing something right/most people they just run and hide/not a sacrifice made and they wonder why/they never made it nowhere in their fucking life
Verse 3: You never achieved everything that you wanted to/everything you’ve ever wanted’s in front of you/you’ve gotta reach out and grab it from under you/and if you don’t then I’ll beat every one of you/if I win the money then I’ll rip it up in two/nobody can tell me what they think I’m gonna do/how do you think you can finish this competition when you don’t even know where you’re running to?/know where you’re running to/not intimidated by any one of you/I’m bout mitigate it when I pummel you/I’m innovative, made this from the rubble you left me, debated whether I would come for you/after I’m dead or maybe I’m just done with you/on second thought I think I’m gonna punish you/everyone looking at me like I know what you’re gonna do
Chorus: I do this for real, I do this for real/I don’t want the money, I’ll just do it for the thrill/I do this for real, I do this for real/I’ve been working hard, all you wanna do is chill yeah... (I do this for real! X5)
I do this for real
