K-Rino - I Do This For Real lyrics

For the real ones who put
Their life into this say it with me
I do this for real i do this for real
I brought this for real i do this for real
Do this for real

I came from the rough end
I came from the worst spots
I started when the building that you
In was a dirt lot with savages, raccoons
I didn't even have goons
I came from battling on
Street corners then bathrooms
When trouble hit code red
I stayed when most fled
I came from doing shows with
Promoters for no bread
It's true that in this music if proven
I've been through it
That's why I take offence to it
Whеn fake men do it i saw a lot of artists
Bail after thеir work fail
I saw 'em lose hope and
Quit after their first L
In moments I feel fear
My vocals was real clear
So when they came and left and
Came again I was still here
The good Lord bless me
Ain't skipping no steps, g
You get better by practicing
While everyone else sleeps
Even when I'm on top I'm trying to add bottom
And carry my family like the
One in the math problem i do this for real

Y'all out there pretending
You only wanna blend in
And follow what's trending
I see I gotta remind them
When they ain't remembering
Foot on the gas, 100 miles an hour, no ending
You not putting work in
You not paying no dues
You sitting at the table waiting
You ain't brought no food
You ain't a real factor
You up in this backwards
Bunch of script reading rappers
Y'all ain't nothing but actors
I do this for real

As soon as I hopped in, I was locked in
Me not being Top 10 wasn't an option
The lazy ones drop head first with a top spin
How the hell you expecting a
Check but won’t clock in
The money gets got by the
Work not a hot mouth
A lot of them got knocked
Out tryna get block clout
You wanna get to it
You better study how we do it
'Cause people ain’t stupid
When you faking they see through it
It took me a few slugs
Got hit when they threw mud
'Cause in life you get whooped the
Most by what you love
If you say that you wanna get harder
Get your methods in order
'Cause once you know how to swim
You ain’t scared of the water
Ain’t no crying about it
That’s the life I wanted
I rap for ten people just as
Hard as for five hundred
There is nothing to bypass when
Building up my stash
I never took the shortcut
I walked through the high grass
I do this for real

Y'all out there pretending
You only wanna blend in
And follow what's trending
I see I gotta remind them
When they ain't remembering
Foot on the gas, 100 miles an hour, no ending
You not putting work in
You not paying no dues
You sitting at the table waiting
You ain't brought no food
You ain't a real factor
You up in this backwards
Bunch of script reading rappers
Y'all ain't nothing but actors
I do this for real

I started my mission in the rawest conditions
And when I didn’t have a team
I played all the positions
Some of y’all handle it wrong
When all glamor is gone
I don’t turn into a character
'cause a camera is on
Ain’t never been an imitator
Milking the trend
I done built it up, lost it
Then rebuilt it again
Through the dark days I was
Carried on a large shoulder
Got to have a lot of heart
To fall off and start over
I don’t wait for opportunity to
Come to the door
You running from the work and wonder
Why your numbers is low
It’s humbling though
Hearing me enforce these facts
I supported a bunch of cats
Who ain’t support me back
Got smart 'cause at any minute
The trouble could spark
Trying to balance the business part with
The love of the art
Learn to be a leader, G that'll free ya
Be faithful to your gift 'cause if
You cheat it'll leave ya
Boy, I do this for real

Y'all out there pretending
You only wanna blend in
And follow what's trending
I see I gotta remind them
When they ain't remembering
Foot on the gas, 100 miles an hour, no ending
You not putting work in
You not paying no dues
You sitting at the table waiting
You ain't brought no food
You ain't a real factor
You up in this backwards
Bunch of script reading rappers
Y'all ain't nothing but actors
I do this for real
