We do it for real
We do it for real
We do it for real
We do it for real
We're not your average underground
Rap group frontin' like we're down
With everyone that come around
Or show up on a blog
But something unique & profound
Working to perfect our sound Kings without a need for crowns
Like the son of God
We ain't aiming to be Hell bound
Like these other sell outs
Watch'em you can tell how
They're whoring for applause
(Not too many will reach our level
Spread your wings come fly with us)
You're lovin' how we put it down
Feel free to sing aloud
Watch how we move the crowd Like Rakim Allah
Marcus let the rhythm hit'em
I provide the lyricism
Disregard the criticism
Do it how we want Puttin' plenty soul up in it
Been ill for a minute
They were hoping that we're Fin(n)ish
Like we're from Vaasa
(They fear us ‘cause we are rebels
But it's all love when you rock with us!)
Do it for the real
We do it for real
Do it for the real
We do it for real
Do it for the real
We do it for real
We don't do it for a rack of pay
To receive accolades
Though it's nice to gather praise
This is ‘bout expression
But it cost to have it made
Somebody has to pay
If you want the tracks we make
To add to your collection
Sorry but I have to hate
Shady biz in rap today
Not the best path to take
As your profession
(But if your skin is hard as metal
You might be equipped to fly with us!)
Every night I have to pray
Several hours after 8
That the ends I calculate
Justify the means
Partner bout to graduate
I got a little gal to raise
But not enough to allocate
Funds to all our needs
Hope our plans coagulate
And the fans advocate
So success validates
Us chasing our dreams
(Keep on reaching for the next level
May God blessings shine on us!)
Do it for the real
We do it for real
Do it for the real
We do it for real
Do it for the real
We do it for real
(Sample) Do it for the well educated and illiterate Real and nonsense, conscious and ignorant
Do it for the wealthy and the welfare recipient
If you down, listen up, you out there, listen in
For well placed instruments
Flows that's intricate
And infinite
Our growth's imminent
Need a bigger belt
(We've out grown these children farewell
They just can't keep stride with us!)
Whether the crowd's intimate
Or it is significant-
ly larger, we're killin' it
Cause we're known to rip it well
All for the feel we get
Recalled from our innocence Call it a stimulant
We offer a little help
Hardly coincidence
Our songs make you reminisce
Of times where a lyricist
And DJ we're rocking bells
(They would drop, not just rock jewels
Want that real come ride with us!)
Do it for the real
We do it for real
Do it for the real
We do it for real
Do it for the real
We do it for real
Do it for the real
We do it for real
