[Intro: R. Kelly]
I don't know if I'ma be able to give you what you want

[Verse 1: R. Kelly]
No disrespect to the things that you want girl but you fuckin' crazy
Got me working this overtime shift lovin' you but you don't even pay me
And now you wanna blame me
Say it's my fault for your heartache and pain, shit
You created this storm, so don't try to run, baby here come the rain
Tell me how can I trust you when you're still in contact with all of these guys
Do you really think I'ma come home and lay in your bed full of lies

[Pre-Chorus 1: R. Kelly]
You're just an actress, and this love is a scene
But you expect me to show up with a ring
Come on

[Chorus: R. Kelly]
Let's be real now
Let's be real now
Come on, come on, come on
Let's be real now
What do I look like to you, seriously?
Come on, let's be real

[Verse 2: Tinashe]
No disrespect to the time that we spent but boy you must be trippin'
You expect me to post up at home for you, but now the tables are flippin'
And now you wanna blame me, cause everyone else realized what they was missin'
I bet you feel dumb now, bet you feel so dumb right now
It's hardly a secret, you fucked with my head
Had me believe it was all because I did it for love
And that was enough
When really you put in no effort instead

[Pre-Chorus 2: Tinashe]
You're just an actor and this love is a scene
Damn I just wish you would say what you mean
Come on

[Chorus: R. Kelly & Tinashe]
Let's be real now
Let's be real now
Come on, come on, come on
Let's be real now
(Real now, real now, oh)
What do I look like to you, seriously?
Come on now let's be real
(Let's be real)

[Bridge: R. Kelly]
There ain't nothin' that I won't do
From jumping off buildings, moving the mountains
Swim the sea for you
Whatever you want babe, I'll do it
You just let me beg, I'll do it
Anything you ask, I'll do it
See that smiling face
There ain't nothin' i won't do for you
Ride or die, I'd take one for you
Any and everything except your fool

[Chorus: R. Kelly & Tinashe]
Let's be real now
(Girl let's be real)
Let's be real now
(Baby come on)
Come on, come on, come one
Let's be real now
(Real now, real now, oh)
What do I look like to you, seriously?
(What do I look like, let's be real)
Come on, let's be real
(Now let's just keep it 100 baby)
Let's be real now
Let's be real now
Let's be real now
Come on, come on, come one
Let's be real now
(Real now, real now, oh)
What do I look like to you, seriously?

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
