[Verse 1]
F#mI'm out to be the best me that I can be
AWorkin' on my craft day in and out
DYou know that's what I'm about
No, I'm not aiming to become famous
I just wanna play and sing this
F#mThe only competition I see is myself
AI gotta tunnel vision kinda like a telescope
ADnd I'm lookin at, and I'm picking at
Everything that I could do to become better
F#mI see a lot of people, I hear a lot of things
AThey're talking about diamond rings, money things
DI guess that happens when you hit the top
Become unsatisfied with everything that you already got
F#mYou say it's all about the music
ABut mess around with girls who do it
DYah you lie to your fans
I'm singing from my shadow you can call that shade
F#mMy verse is straight and my flow is hard
AI paint my songs like a work of art
DI never grew up listening to other stuff
You can say I'm kinda different, maybe just a bluff
F#mBut let me tell you I am hundred percent reality
AAuthentic I ain't dancing in a fantasy, no
DOnly sea that I'll be dancing in
Is a sea of fans in a sold out MSG
F#mMaybe a year or two, maybe a Ayear or three
It doesn't phase me honestly
DEven if I don't make it by then
I'll still be doing shows, so I make it in the end, yeah
F#mAnd if you think I'm irrelevant
AWell then I must be relevant
D'Cause you took the time to listen to my song
That I wrote on my bed in my bedroom
[Chorus]
F#mI don't sing for a backtrack
AI write songs in my snapback
DI don't care what they say
Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella
F#mI don't hook up with strangers
AI've got class and respect
DI don't care what they say
Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella
[Hook]
F#mA capella, a-a capella
A capella, a-a capella
A capella, a-a capella
Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella
E
[Verse 2]
SF#mometimes I need to focus on myself and what I need
ASometimes I feel like my mind is on it's own kind of speed
DBut I guess its the way that it goes when you try to write like a beast
This is my feast
F#mDon't ever classify me as a rapper
AI spit a little bit and I can talk fast but that's it
DI ain't about the gold chains, ain't about the fake girls
Ain't about the high life, ain't about the money
F#mSee, my lyrics are different
AThey come alive the minute I start to sing them
DI would say that I put my soul all up in them
But I am a ginger, you know how that goes
F#mMy world comes together the moment
AMy pen hits the paper like im a jail breaker
DBut I have commited, no crime to be charged for
You see me in bars but don't know what I stand for
[Chorus]
F#mI don't sing for a backtrack
AI write songs in my snapback
DI don't care what they say
Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella
F#mI don't hook up with strangers
AI've got class and respect
DI don't care what they say
Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella
[Hook]
F#mA capella, a-a capella
A capella, a-a capella
A capella, a-a capella
Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella
wait!
[Verse 3]
     F#m  DMy finger's bleed when I pluck strings
I was never raised to play this guitar with a pick thing
At times people say I sound British when I say things
When I say things, say things
Now they're coming to me asking if I wanna be the next big thing
I'm the next best thing, buddy
F#mYou better get your facts straight, uh
DI don't need a record label to show them my talent great 'cause
F#mIf the people like it then the people buy it
Why would I wanna hire another writer to take it higher?
Foolish like the gold that you place in my hands
That's foolD's gold and I'm not fooled by this fame game
This twitter game, it's so lame
Cause F#mI'm verified on the inside
Don't need a blue check to be satisfied, uhD  
[Instrumental]
 F#m   A   D   E(x2)
[Bridge]
F#mBreak strings when I play this
Take names when I play this, take Dnotes when I play this
F#mBreak strings when I play this
Take names when I play this, taAke notes when I play thisD  
F#mBreak strings when I play this
Take names when I play this, Atake notes when I play thiDs
F#mBreak strings when I play this
Take names when I play this, Atake notes when I play thisD  
You already know
[Chorus]
F#mI don't sing for a backtrack
AI write songs in my snapback
DI don't care what they say
Keepin' it real, Ekinda like an a capella
F#mI don't hook up with strangers
AI've got class and respect
DAnd I don't care what they say
EAnd I don't care what they say
'BmCause I'm keepin' it real
Keepin' it real, Ekinda like an a capella

Become unsatisfied with everything that you already got

F#m

You say it's all about the music

But mess around with girls who do it

Yah you lie to your fans

I'm singing from my shadow you can call that shade

F#m

My verse is straight and my flow is hard

I paint my songs like a work of art

I never grew up listening to other stuff

You can say I'm kinda different, maybe just a bluff

F#m

But let me tell you I am hundred percent reality

Authentic I ain't dancing in a fantasy, no

Only sea that I'll be dancing in

Is a sea of fans in a sold out MSG

F#m A

Maybe a year or two, maybe a year or three

It doesn't phase me honestly

Even if I don't make it by then

I'll still be doing shows, so I make it in the end, yeah

Well then I must be relevant

'Cause you took the time to listen to my song

See, my lyrics are different

They come alive the minute I start to sing them

I would say that I put my soul all up in them

But I am a ginger, you know how that goes
