Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She told me that she know I'm off the pills
Can you feel?
I don′t wanna ball for real
Keep it real (what?)
Bro told me don't be off the drugs in the field
I was taught to rob the plug
If a na in our way we gon' kill
That′s for real, that′s for real
Bro said don't be off the drugs in the field
I was taught to rob the plug
Taught to steal
If a na in our way he get killed
That′s for real, that's for real
Fuck how you feel
It′s all about the dollar bills
If I get locked up no I won't squeal, that′s for real
I don't remember what happened anyway
I was off of the pills for real (skrrt)
Choppa on me big dawg
You want beef then the Neiman get your steaks off

The lyrics to Squish's song "For Real" depict the reality of life for people growing up in poverty and in environments surrounded by drugs and violence. The first verse suggests that the rapper is being warned not to do drugs, however, he is addicted and can't help himself. He expresses his desire not to "ball for real" and wants to "keep it real," implying that he wishes to live a life outside of the drug trade. Squish raps about being taught to steal and rob the plug, which means stealing from drug dealers. The song is littered with violent imagery, with Squish's brother telling him not to be off drugs in the field and that if someone stands in their way, they will be killed. The lyrics highlight the harsh reality of life for many young people who are forced to turn to drugs and crime as a means of survival.
Furthermore, the chorus repeats the same theme of being taught to rob and steal from drug plugs, which is common in neighborhoods where drugs are prevalent. The rapper acknowledges that he won't snitch if he gets caught, which is prevalent in gang culture, where snitching is considered unacceptable. The lyrics are dark, violent, and honest, depicting a bleak world for people who are forced to turn to crime to survive. The last verse is about Squish's addiction to drugs; he takes pills until his stomach is messed up and continues to pop Xans and do percs to escape reality.
