For Real Lyrics

For Real Song Lyrics


I gotta smile taking over my face
Feeling the sunshine all over the place
If it’s for real, you gon’ feel it in your soul
If it’s for real, you gon’ feel it in your bones

Clappin’ my hands when I walk down the street
I got a rhythm, got a skip in my feet
If it’s for real, you gon’ feel it in your soul
If it’s for real, you gon’ feel it in your bones

[x7]
Can you feel it, feel it?

Can you feel it now?

Ooh, it’s all just something you feel
Ooh, that’s when you know it’s for real

This is for real, and this is it
This is for real, and this is it
You know it’s the real thing, yes it is
This is for real, this is it

Sing hallelujah, got the soul in my song
Take me to church, to where the sinners belong
If it’s for real, you gon’ feel it in your soul
If it’s for real, you gon’ feel it in your bones

Singing yeah
Singing ooh
If it moves you, let the bass drum drive
If it moves you, let the hi-hat hop

[x7]
Can you feel it, feel it?

Can you feel it now?



Ooh, it’s all just something you feel
Ooh, that’s when you know it’s for real
This is for real, this is it
This is for real, this is it
You know it’s the real thing, yes it is
This is for real, this is it


Boom, boom, boom
Bang, bang, bang
Imma make you move like
Hey hey hey
Boom, boom, boom
Bang, bang, bang
Imma make you move like
Hey hey hey

Ooh, it’s all just something you feel
Ooh, that’s when you know it’s for real

This is for real
Boom, boom, boom
Bang, bang, bang
Imma make you move
Hey hey hey

Boom, boom, boom
Bang, bang, bang
Imma make you move
Hey hey hey

Annotations and Meaning:
It starts with an imagery line that explains happiness with a full, excellent amount of detail—a metaphor about how a smile overtakes the face and feels sunshine all over the body. This kind of imagery gives the feel for the whole of the piece: overwhelming, almost choking with its true happiness. Every other repetition of "If it's for real, you gon' feel it in your soul / If it's for real, you gon' feel it in your bones" authenticates true feeling to the extent that it asserts if really felt, then from the innermost part, the emotions would be felt and thus register themselves in the soul and the body.

These portray the theme of music and dance: movement is shown through clapping of hands and rhythm that makes one's feet skip. This is evident in the number of instances the listener is asked, "Can you feel it, feel it?" whereby they are to share in this surge of joy and great authenticity, which makes the song very interactive.

"Sing hzallelujah, got the soul in my song

Take me to church, to where the sinners belong" hints at the spiritual side with perhaps redemptive communal value to do with music and dance. "If it moves you, let the bass drum drive / If it moves you, let the hi-hat hop." That meaning nearly reflects, advocating that music affects not only human emotion but physicality with "If it moves you, let the bass drum drive / If it moves you, let the hi-hat hop."
