Not 4 Show

We do it for real (Repeat 4x) [Verse 1] We’re not your average underground Rap group frontin’ like we’re down With everyone that come around Or show up on a blog But something unique & profound Working to perfect our sound
Kings without a need for crowns Like the son of God We ain’t aiming to be Hell bound Like these other sell outs Watch’em you can tell how They’re whoring for applause (Not too many will reach our level Spread your wings come fly with us) You’re lovin’ how we put it down Feel free to sing aloud Watch how we move the crowd
Like Rakim Allah Marcus let the rhythm hit’em I provide the lyricism Disregard the criticism Do it how we want
Puttin’ plenty soul up in it Been ill for a minute They were hoping that we’re Fin(n)ish Like we’re from Vaasa (They fear us ‘cause we are rebels But it’s all love when you rock with us!) [Hook] [Verse 2] We don’t do it for a rack of pay To receive accolades Though it’s nice to gather praise This is ‘bout expression But it cost to have it made Somebody has to pay If you want the tracks we make To add to your collection Sorry but I have to hate Shady biz in rap today Not the best path to take As your profession (But if your skin is hard as metal You might be equipped to fly with us!) Every night I have to pray Several hours after 8 That the ends I calculate Justify the means Partner bout to graduate I got a little gal to raise But not enough to allocate Funds to all our needs Hope our plans coagulate And the fans advocate So success validates Us chasing our dreams (Keep on reaching for the next level May God blessings shine on us!) [Hook] [Bridge] (Sample) Do it for the well educated and illiterate
Real and nonsense, conscious and ignorant Do it for the wealthy and the welfare recipient If you down, listen up, you out there, listen in [Verse 3] For well placed instruments Flows that’s intricate And infinite Our growth’s imminent Need a bigger belt (We’ve out grown these children farewell They just can’t keep stride with us!) Whether the crowd’s intimate Or it is significant- Ly larger, we’re killin’ it Cause we’re known to rip it well All for the feel we get Recalled from our innocence Call it a stimulant We offer a little help Hardly coincidence Our songs make you reminisce Of times where a lyricist And DJ we’re rocking bells (They would drop, not just rock jewels Want that real come ride with us!) [Hook] Do it for the real We do it for real (Repeat 2x)
