Yeah
Uh Huh (Thom Genius)
Double Tag
Learn Something (Haha)

I just show 'em how to play, I just show 'em how to get cake
Blow my trees and give me space, spend the cheese on real estate
They just trying to run my race, they just always stuck in place

If you ain't takin' bout no cash, get the hell up out my face
I just show 'em how to play, I just show 'em how to get cake
Blow my trees and give me space, spend the cheese on real estate
They just trying to run my race, they just always stuck in place
If you ain't takin' bout no cash, get the hell up out my face

Ain't no future in your front, I can do just what I want
I can fly around the world any day any month
See you sleeping on the kid, why you over there looking slumped
I just rolled a joint, mixed it with the O.G. and the Runtz
And you only hit it once, it will leave you feeling stuck
Living in a different altitude, I'm only living up
Worked hard to get here, yeah I'm never giving up
Never ever switching up, living life to be wealthy that's beyond rich enough
Business is picking up, switch them lanes and switch my truck
Falling off need pick me up, Hennessy in my cup
Money flowing like an aqueduct
Trying to try me press ya luck. trying to try me press ya luck

I just show 'em how to play, I just show 'em how to get cake
Blow my trees and give me space, spend the cheese on real estate
They just trying to run my race, they just always stuck in place
If you ain't takin' bout no cash, get the hell up out my face
I just show 'em how to play, I just show 'em how to get cake
Blow my trees and give me space, spend the cheese on real estate
They just trying to run my race, they just always stuck in place

If you ain't takin' bout no cash, get the hell up out my face

Pockets moving on aquatic, Dubai driving exotic
Versace, Fendi I got it, you clout chasing so stop it
Me moving like rocket, you moving like novice
Me shining like diamonds, once they go get polished
You talking nonsense, gotta trust in the process
Thinking out of my conscious, this grind turned to a monster
Now I'm changing the game, I could be your sponsor
Leave haters looking awkward, the bread come in like clockwork
Everything is done in house, there's no need to outsource
Get the wrong source your life be a crash course
you thought your limits were high, well I passed yours Had the ball in my court
I can show you how to outscore

I just show 'em how to play, I just show 'em how to get cake
Blow my trees and give me space, spend the cheese on real estate
They just trying to run my race, they just always stuck in place
If you ain't takin' bout no cash, get the hell up out my face
I just show 'em how to play, I just show 'em how to get cake
Blow my trees and give me space, spend the cheese on real estate
They just trying to run my race, they just always stuck in place
If you ain't takin' bout no cash, get the hell up out my face

Overall Meaning

In "Real Estate," Biggie Babylon illustrates a vivid narrative of ambition, success, and the elevation above mediocrity. The recurring phrase about showing others "how to play" serves as an assertion of his expertise and guidance in navigating life's complexities, particularly in the quest for financial prosperity. The use of "cake" as both a euphemism for money and a metaphor for success indicates that he not only recognizes the importance of wealth but also seeks to mentor others in achieving it. As he emphasizes spending money on "real estate," he highlights a long-term, stable investment strategy that contrasts with fleeting or superficial pursuits. This pursuit of financial education and prosperity becomes a central theme in the song, reinforcing the message that building wealth is a systematic process.

The lyrics delve deeper into themes of independence and individualism. Lines like "Ain't no future in your front" and "I can do just what I want" convey a sense of self-determination and resilience against external judgment and societal pressures. He asserts that he operates on a different wavelength, depicted through references to "flying around the world" and living at "a different altitude.” This metaphorical elevation suggests that his lifestyle and mindset have transcended standard expectations, underlining his journey from struggle to triumph. Furthermore, the juxtaposition of relaxing moments, such as smoking "trees," with an aggressive pursuit of wealth denotes a balance between leisure and hard work, illustrating that enjoyment and ambition can coexist in his life.

As the narrative unfolds, Biggie Babylon introduces a subtle critique of others around him who seem stagnant. Phrases like "they just always stuck in place" embody the frustration he feels towards those who do not share his drive for self-improvement and financial success. This sense of urgency permeates the song, implying that a focus on wealth and hustle is essential for anyone who desires to keep pace with his aspirations. The phrase "get the hell up out my face" serves as a dismissive reminder to those who aren't contributing to a growth mindset or who may be dragging him down with negative energy. This sense of selective interpersonal engagement reinforces the idea that surrounding oneself with the right individuals is crucial for success.

The concluding sections of the lyrics expand on his accomplishments while asserting his dominance in the hustle. With references to luxury brands and high-octane vehicles, he paints a lifestyle characterized by the finer things, emblematic of his success and hard work. The lines related to business acumen and operational efficiency, such as "everything is done in house, there’s no need to outsource," reflect a strong belief in self-reliance. He positions himself not just as a participant in the game but as a game-changer, suggesting he can help others achieve success, akin to being a sponsor. This culmination of themes encapsulates the essence of the narrative: a celebration of entrepreneurial spirit, individual growth, and a powerful rejection of stagnation, all while promoting the idea that financial freedom and personal success can be systematically attained for those willing to learn and adapt.
