Calm the savage beast with my music so smooth
I initiate the groove to make your body move
You can feel it all inside you as it reaches your core
Get up off your back and put your feet to the floor
Like a moth to a flame, you can feel the burn
The rhythm will confront you at your every turn
Like a beacon in the dark to lead you through the night
You can swim these tranquil waters ‘cause you know it’s all right
We’re one nation under a groove, these are times to heal
You know my word is bond ‘cause my name is For Real
Life is not as bad or as good as it seems
But we should never give up on our positive dreams
I’m not comin’ at’chu with elaborate schemes
I just wanna rock your body ‘til it’s ripping the seams
We’ve got no precious time for ridiculous schisms
We’re people on a mission for the ill-est of rhythms
Don’t take this all lightly ‘cause the message is serious
I don’t suffer fools ‘cause they get me all furious
You know you can’t stop the sensation
It’s time to unite this lost nation
There’s only one simple thing we can do
Don’t think I’m naïve ‘cause my mission is lofty
I be makin’ music like others be makin’ coffee
But I try not to scrap ‘cause I’m a wannabe pacifist
Don’t come at me with that noise ‘cause I’m just not havin’ it
I bring you this message only ‘cause it’s so real
Think about it deep and know my name is For Real
