For Real

To keep it real
Even with these accolades
I don't know how to feel
Even all alone I can't find any time to chill
All these eyes on me
I believe that looks could kill
To keep it real, to keep it real
Can't follow the wave
Can't follow the wave, no
No longer the same
No longer the same, no
Dang—can't think of the fame
Can't think of the pain, no
But all my demons keep me eating
Every evening tell me, tell me—yeah
Just how to keep it real—yeah
Tell me how to keep it real—yeah
Yeah...

Tell me how to be real for real
Tell me how to feel how I feel
Even in a world with money (money, money)
Everybody wanna chill where I chill
Tell me which chain should I cop?
Tell me who’s boo should I grab?
Tell me who’s name should I drop?
I'mma just do what you ask

We don't gotta be real now, no
We don't gotta be real now, for real
We don't gotta be real now, no
We don't gotta be real now, for real
Everybody wanna chill now, no
Everybody wanna chill now for real
We don't gotta be real now, no
We don't gotta be real now

Never fake my energy
Never talk when I sip my Hennesey
Never break, my whip got better speed
No debate, I go ape with a melody
No flakes, no hate, no enemy
I'm just 'finna be real and you better believe
I got my girl looking better than me
You can focus on the Kims and the Bella Hadids
I ain't here to be the coolest
I ain't stupid, I ain't come for all the bougie clothes
I just gotta be the truest with the music
'Til I tell a story with a movie role
You can be another little man on Instagram
Or build your plan and stick the landing
Skip the gram and skip the mansion
Get your bands and keep your family like—
Is you real Jharrel?

We don't gotta be real now, no
We don't gotta be real now, for real
We don't gotta be real now, no
We don't gotta be real now, for real
Everybody wanna chill now, no
Everybody wanna chill now for real
We don't gotta be real now, no
We don't gotta be real now

I feel like I'm surrounded by niggas
That get their ideas off IG
Whole personality's Twitter
I just see copies of copies
Your outlook gotta be bigger
They stacking bodies on bodies whenever I'm outside
You niggas only got something to say when there's WiFi
Shit, I've been on both sides
Crashing headfirst into road signs
Seen 'em come alive for a cosign
Seen they thoughts die, when they phone dies
Shit, I've been on both sides
Get the heel-toe on the borderline
Ducking fed time, ducking 45
For my own thoughts, I'm immortalized

Tell me how to be real for real
Tell me how to feel how I feel
Even in a world with money (money, money)
Everybody wanna chill where I chill
Tell me which chain should I cop?
Tell me who’s boo should I grab?
Tell me who’s name should I drop?
I'mma just do what you ask

We don't gotta be real now, no
We don't gotta be real now, for real
We don't gotta be real now, no
We don't gotta be real now, for real
Everybody wanna chill now, no
Everybody wanna chill now for real
We don't gotta be real now, no
We don't gotta be real now
