For Real Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh brother, look what we’ve become
Oh brother, could we be so dumb?
They set us up like dominos
I didn’t do it for no magazine
Didn’t do it for no video
Never did it for no CEO
[Chorus]
But I did it for real
Woulda done it for free
I did it for me
'Cause it was all that rang true
I did it for real and I did it for you
[Verse 2]
Mighta done it for my sanity
Maybe done it for my vanity
Could be I did it for my big ego
[Chorus]
But I did it for real
Woulda done it for free
Yeah, I did it for me
'Cause it was all that rang true
I did it for real and I did it for you (True)
Oh brother, look what we’ve become
Oh brother, could we be so dumb?
They set us up like dominos
I didn’t do it for no magazine
Didn’t do it for no video
Never did it for no CEO
[Chorus]
But I did it for real
Woulda done it for free
I did it for me
'Cause it was all that rang true
I did it for real and I did it for you
[Verse 2]
Mighta done it for my sanity
Maybe done it for my vanity
Could be I did it for my big ego
[Chorus]
But I did it for real
Woulda done it for free
Yeah, I did it for me
'Cause it was all that rang true
I did it for real and I did it for you (True)
[Bridge]
Oh brother, look what we’ve become
Oh brother, I’ve been overrun
Only did it for the way it made me feel
[Chorus]
Yeah, I did it for real
Woulda done it for free
Yeah, I did it for me
'Cause it was all that rang true
I did it for real and I did it for you
Oh brother, look what we’ve become
Oh brother, I’ve been overrun
Only did it for the way it made me feel
[Chorus]
Yeah, I did it for real
Woulda done it for free
Yeah, I did it for me
'Cause it was all that rang true
I did it for real and I did it for you
