this is the real right here

things ain't always what they seem

check it

people look at us and say man they got it made

they signed a record deal and now them boys is
paid?

but they don't know what comes along with this

with all the fame and fortune is still b...

cause even though we strugglin hard

and gave up everything to make it this far

some people love and other people hate us

but we gon' take the haters make them our
motivators

cause they don't know what we been through

and none of them can walk a mile in our shoes

man i got to keep it real

not every record deal ain't a good record deal

i'm a grown man so i didn't cry by

to keep my head up stay strong

until i got about that contract

and i reminisce on what my lawyer used to say

but i wanted it so bad i guess i have to learn
the hard way

[2x]

(everyday) the pressures of this game got us
goin' insane

(everyday) if it ain't one damn thing it's
another thing

people wanna know what's going on with 112

if they leave or they records gon' sell

they sayin that they give us the hits

knowin' damn well that we write our own sh*t

it's not that i'm mad about it

but i got to clear it up for those wondering
about it

i think you need to read the credits

open up the cd dawg and read the credits

cause things ain't always what they seem

so don't believe everything you see on tv

in the videos i was in a bentley

when that bentley didn't belong to me

my earrings had to be at least 5 karats

had to live up to that superstar status

stayed on the road, had to stay doin' shows

even though i'm goin' broke, i couldn't let
nobody know

[2x]

(everyday) the pressures of this game got us
goin' insane

(everyday) if it ain't one damn thing it's
another thing

people look at us and say how does it feel

on a new label with a motown million dollar deal

i'm just glad we stayed together

we put our faith in the lord and he made things
better

cause he said it in his word

that one day you'll gonna get what ya'll deserve

now aren't you glad we stayed together

through the good and the bad times we stayed
together

through the rich and the broke times, through
stormy weather

and heeeey now we look back like don't you
remember

when you couldn't afford that boy

heey sun roofed top

chillin' on a see, with a down-south ...

like heeey how you love that

24 inch rims, big body cadillac and

heeey, we do it like that

[2x]

(everyday) the pressures of this game got us
goin' insane

(everyday) if it ain't one damn thing it's
another thing

from 96 to 2003 - 112 still keepin together

all we need is true fans all around the world

our music gonna last forever
