For Real
Grease Lyrics

You watch too many films
You are overly influenced by movies

Too many films for real
You take movies too seriously

And something else you take too seriously
You are also overly invested in your record deal

Your record deal
Your source of income and fame

A record deal pays bills
Your record deal helps you pay bills and support your family

Pays bills and feeds a family
Your record deal is financially beneficial

And your profile is too big
You are too famous and recognizable

How ya gonna be a crime family
How can you lead a life of crime with your level of fame?

Don't get me wrong, I know you got guns and your not scared to use them
I acknowledge that you possess firearms and are willing to use them

But is there money being made around these guns or lives until you lose them
Is there financial gain in your dangerous lifestyle or is it all a waste until you eventually lose your life?

Some of those people have to live that life, for real
Some people actually have to live a life of crime and violence

I don't have to, I got a record deal
I am fortunate to have a stable career in the music industry and don't have to resort to crime

For real, you heard, I chill and smoke herb
I am content with a generally laid-back lifestyle

And how about these sexy singers, sex gods, talking about hitting girls in a turn
It's concerning how some male musicians are praised for their sexual prowess, even if it involves abuse towards women

You're fantastic, you're super sperm
You may have a high opinion of your sexual abilities

Yeah, I'm a player hater, I hate when players can't take their turn
I dislike men who can't respect consent and boundaries for their partners

And when a record company drops me, that's when I learn
I realize the unstable nature of my career when my record company drops me

It's not real, it's just passing time
My fame is temporary and inconsequential in the grand scheme of things

All I do, all I do is rhyme
Rapping is my main talent and my way of making a name for myself

You look tall in the video
People perceive you as taller than you actually are in the music videos

Get money
A common goal for musicians is to make money

And no one sings the blues and everyone sings the greens
Everyone sources their happiness from financial success instead of genuine contentment

Someone said keep your eye on the prize
Focus on your goals and work hard to achieve them

How you lose the dream
It's disappointing when you lose sight of your aspirations

Who am I to say, I know you need cash... in this hundred yard dash
I can't judge someone for prioritizing financial security in their career

I moved awhile ago and past through New York
I recently relocated and went through New York

I'll be back in a minute, it's my turn to talk
I'll return soon and it'll be my chance to speak up

For Real, you heard
This is all honest, factual information
