What's Really Going On
Aqualeo Lyrics

So, if everyone can buy the bar?
If anyone can afford to buy a bar, what does that mean?

And if everyone's either selling or smokin' dope?
If everyone is either selling drugs or using drugs, what does that say about society?

Then, how is everyone a star?
If everyone is struggling and not successful, how can they claim to be a star?

When I know, that mostly everyone is broke? Huh
Knowing that most people are financially struggling, how can we think of ourselves as successful?

So what's really goin' on?
What is truly happening in our society?

Ah, so these niggas wanna front now?
Are these people really trying to act like they are something they are not?

Don't know who Aqualeo is, when you're speakin' frontline?
Do these people claiming to be on the frontlines even know who Aqualeo is?

Ya'll forgot Style Wars and all them punchlines
Have people forgotten the old school rap battles and clever wordplay?

We in the best in Houston, Truth and Daz not on one line!
Aqualeo believes they are the best in Houston, and they are not competing with Truth or Daz.

What? Cause a nigga don't want to come 'round
Are people not hanging out with Aqualeo because they are not seen as popular or successful?

And frolic with the same niggas from sun up, to sun down?
Are people only hanging out with the same people all day every day?

Go home and tweet the same niggas from sun up to down,
Do people just tweet the same people they see every day?

Knowin' these other rappers get done up and spun 'round
Do people know that other famous rappers are getting caught up in trouble?

Hung up, and gunned down, come run up, i'll swung now
Are people getting into dangerous situations and Aqualeo is willing to fight back?

See, y'all just bump like what comes from a drum sound
Are people just mindlessly following the same trend over and over?

I rap a lot like I come from the compound
Aqualeo raps a lot and is talented like someone from a training ground.

New frauds like Floyd, but they won't come up with one round
There are new rappers who are like Floyd Mayweather, but they do not have any hits to back up their claims.

So Ace town is what ya'll come up to run now?
Is Houston the new place that people come to try to make it big?

Let me get this right, ya'll come up to Bun now?
Are people trying to collaborate with Bun B now?

Ya'll DJ Screw'd and made a come-up with come down
Are people trying to become successful by copying what DJ Screw did?

A couple of shows and y'all done jumped up to gun now?
Are people using their newfound success to act tough and violent?

Ha! So how you sum up our run now?
How do these people view Aqualeo's success now?

We really Swishahouse before they were bummed-up and run-down
Aqualeo has been around much longer than Swishahouse and was successful before they were.

On a record million sold and we are some-what? A what now?
Having sold over a million records, how can people question Aqualeo's success?

We can't get mentions cause we don't come up with dumb nouns
Aqualeo does not get recognition because they do not use simplistic, silly lyrics.

So you dumb clucks must come down
People with silly lyrics and poor talent need to lower their expectations and come back down to reality.

Can't even talk chicks in the H is likely come hung their tongue down?
Is it even possible for these other rappers to attract women in Houston?

Real talk, we walk the real walk
Aqualeo has true street cred and is living what they rap about.

Guess when you stand tall, niggas wanna make you feel short
When you are successful, other people will try to bring you down and make you feel less accomplished.

So no more, friendly shit
Aqualeo will not tolerate people pretending to be friendly when they are really not.

Smilin' and dappin' up
People who pretend to be friends by shaking hands and smiling.

Clingin' wit' niggas up in the bucket and crabbin' up
People who hang out with others just for the sake of being together, even if they do not truly like each other.

Keep your distance, that's stand back, stare and grin
Aqualeo tells people to keep their distance and just observe without interfering.

Get the cameras and film as the masters win
As Aqualeo triumphs and becomes victorious, let it be documented and remembered.

I keep up Kim Kardashian
Aqualeo is always up to date on the latest gossip, like Kim Kardashian's life.

So fake ballas hate the King like the gyms in Akron
People who are not really successful hate on Aqualeo like how people in Akron, Ohio hate on LeBron James.

There's a lack of men, so I cannot put my feet up
There are not enough real men in the music industry, so Aqualeo must continue working hard to succeed.

Should I take a little time off to re-up?
Should Aqualeo take a break to rest and recharge before returning to work?

But I see that this, new Houston just gon' try to delete us
Aqualeo sees that new artists from Houston are trying to erase them from the music industry.

And the ones that know the 'real', just won't speak up!
People who know the truth do not speak up and support Aqualeo.

Shit's backwards. Started with 'Hoes down, and G's up
The music industry is backwards, having started with degrading women and glorifying gangsters.

There's a shortage of G's and these hoes are rollin' they sleeves up!
There are not enough real gangsters around, and women are trying to act like them instead.

Actin' like they can't get beat up, turn they feet up
Women are trying to act tough and are not afraid of violence.

Then eat up all the beef in the street and regurgitate the meat up!
People are taking all the conflict and issues from the streets and turning them into music without any originality.

See every so often it turns quarters and a
Every so often a new trend arises.

New group of niggas come with this big firm orders then
New artists come, acting big and successful but are really not.

They're takin' over, and their clique turns harder
These new artists are trying to take over and become the new top dogs.

Like they ass can't get spotted like Fishburne's daughter!
Just because they act tough, does not mean they cannot be taken down like any other person.

See none of them are stackin' cheese, they stackin' the wrong clique
These new artists are not really making a lot of money, they are just putting together the wrong group of people.

Of ho-niggas jackin' steez and jackin' they own dick!
These fake artists are copying other artists and trying to act tough but are really hurting themselves in the end.

We two-deep in the mix of this and we don't see come
Aqualeo is focused on their own work and is not paying attention to other artists.

I'm relaxed like a perm, true, firm as a tree trunk
Aqualeo is relaxed but firm and unbending in their beliefs, like a tree trunk.

War paint on, lookin' eye to eye with these weak punks
Aqualeo is prepared for battle and is looking directly at these weak enemies.

Intricate niggas with confidence, slow as a speed bump
Aqualeo is confident and skilled, but their enemies are slow and easy to beat.

Remove your huts, remove your gut, cause I'mma huntin'
Get ready for the fight because Aqualeo is coming for you.

Be cool for what? Ain't enough food to cut, and I'm a glutton
Why should Aqualeo hold back when they are hungry for success?

They scared to speak of us, like it's cussin' or somethin'
People are afraid to acknowledge Aqualeo's success and talent, as if they are doing something wrong.

So we gon' make em' put us in the fuckin' discussion
Aqualeo will force people to talk about them and recognize their talent and success.

Ay, that's what we talkin' 'bout
That is exactly what Aqualeo is trying to say.

And we walkin' bout. Yeah!
Aqualeo is walking around and making their mark in the music industry.
