For Real
T.I. feat Mullage Lyrics

Walk into neiman blow a whole bag I'm tryna ball for real
I'm trying to live the high life and spend a lot of money at luxury stores like Neiman Marcus to show off that I'm wealthy.

I spent my whole life chasing a check money gon call for real
I've been focused on making money my entire life, and now that I have it, I feel fulfilled.

I'm tryna get out the city and go and see me new world for real
I want to escape this city and explore new places and experiences to broaden my horizons.

But it's like nothing really matters we all gon fall for real
Despite our best efforts, we will all eventually experience hardship and fail in some way.

I'm tryna stack my zeros up like krispy kreme
I want to accumulate a lot of money and increase the amount of zeroes in my bank account, like Krispy Kreme donuts stacked on top of each other.

Tryna stretch my money out like limousine
I'm trying to make my money last as long as possible, like stretching out a limousine to fit more people.

Put this ice all on my body till I freeze
I'm wearing a lot of expensive jewelry, so much that it feels like I'm freezing.

And cut these shackles off so I'll be free
I want to liberate myself from anything that's holding me back or restricting me from achieving my goals.

Chasing a dream doesn't seem real if you gotta pay your bills
Pursuing a dream or passion seems unrealistic if you have to constantly worry about paying basic expenses like bills.

I gotta hustle for mama so she can quit her job for real
I'm working hard to make enough money so that my mom won't have to work anymore.

I know this shit kind of different and nobody thought I'd make songs for real
My music style is unique and unconventional, and people didn't believe I would actually make successful songs.

But I put my heart into my craft I'm popping off for real
I put my full effort and passion into music, and now I'm experiencing real success.

She gave her heart up to these drugs she popping all these pills
A girl I know has succumbed to drug addiction, taking dangerous amounts of pills.

And these voices in my head told me to stop for real
My own negative thoughts and self-doubts are making me consider quitting music.

But I gotta get it and level up I gotta put the new bezel up
I need to keep working and improving in order to get more money and buy more expensive jewelry.

I gotta better myself and all of these diamonds are dropping the temperature
I need to make personal progress, and my diamonds are so icy that they're making the temperature drop.

So tell me if you got a fucking problem with me
If you have any issues with me or my music, let me know directly.

I'm like a saint but I ain't visited New Orleans I mean
I consider myself a good person, but I haven't been to New Orleans yet to truly experience it.

I be grinding til I got some fucking flowers on me
I am constantly working hard until I achieve success and can afford to have luxurious things like flowers on me.

And this VVS the only light I've wanted to see
The clarity of my diamond is the only thing I want to focus on and see.

Smell this kush all in the air it's like violets to me
The strong scent of marijuana in the air smells sweet and reminds me of violets.

I know a lot of motherfuckers wishing violence on me
There are many people who hate me and want to cause harm to me.

Gotta get my shit together gotta grind for my team
I need to get my personal affairs in order and work hard to provide for my team.

If I make a hunned thousand broski gotta keep the beam
If I earn a hundred thousand dollars, I still need to stay focused and work hard.

I don't mean to be rude I gotta pick and choose
I don't intend to be impolite, but I need to make careful decisions and choose wisely.

I can't fall back on nobody got too much to lose
I can't rely on anyone else for support because I have too many important things at stake.

I gotta make sure that we straight and get this revenue
I need to ensure that everything is alright financially, and that we are earning enough money.

And if you show me that you with me then I swear I'm tryna better you
If someone proves that they're on my side, I will do my best to help them improve their own life.

But I can't pick you up if you ain't tryna help yourself
I can't assist someone who isn't also putting in effort to improve their own situation.

I'm too focused on my work and I just wanna help myself
I am prioritizing my own personal success and am primarily focused on helping myself.

That shit not my problem if you not tryna excel
It's not my responsibility to help someone who isn't actively trying to better themselves.

I got up in my birkin Goin hard this shit for real
I'm motivated and working hard even though I already own an expensive Birkin bag.

And if you hating on me then I wish you well but go to hell
If you're hating on me, I'm not going to waste my time and energy on arguing with you; I wish you the best but also don't care if you go to hell.

I'm balling out for real I'm tryna drip in YSL
I'm showing off my wealth and status by wearing designer clothes from YSL.

I wan be happy like pharell that's why I'm working on myself
I want to be content and at peace like Pharrell, which is why I'm putting in work to improve myself and make myself happy.

And ima get that check and then I'm splurging on myself
Once I receive a large payment, I'm going to spend a lot of it on myself and my own enjoyment.

And I just put my right hand up to God
I'm making a promise to God and seeking divine assistance and guidance.

I'm finna keep on reaching for the stars
I'm determined to continue pursuing my goals and aiming high, like reaching for the stars.

I need this fucking shit it's not a want
I desperately need to achieve success, it's not just a fleeting desire or want.

And I do this shit for real too many frauds
I am authentic and genuine in my music career, even though there are many fake and insincere people in the industry.
