Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh, brother, look what we've become

Oh, brother, could we be so dumb?

They set us up like dominos

[Verse 2]

I didn't do it for no magazine

I didn't do it for no video

I didn't do it for no, no CEO

[Verse 3]

But I did it for real

I 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

[Verse 4]

I might have done it for my sanity

Maybe I done it for my vanity

Could be I done it for my, my big ego

[Verse 5]

But I did it for real

I 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

[Verse 6]

Oh, brother, look what we've become

Oh, brother, I've been overrun

Only did it for the way it made me feel

[Verse 7]

Oh, but I did it for real

I 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
