Is It Real
Marlo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No flex
No Paul Walls
Still Obi Wan style before we maul y'all
His cloak covers over the blood of the Khan
Nephilim corpse
Gun in the palm
Pin ya neck to the floor with the butt of his rod
Then he exits the portal as he summons the gods
That’s Nisan moons for the sinner
Told 'em black out all his Fridays
I’ll be gone until November

Lose sleep before you lose sight
You need a piece of the pie, go for two slice
What’s the code
Sean Connery James Bond in that 64’ Shelby
Game Shark mod on that 64 Zelda
With spirits on the rise, bodies in the tomb
To whom should I comply if nobody tell the truth
She looking like a fraud, he looking like a fool
Who looking up to God, who looking for the truth

Ooo that music so astounding
You about that life I doubt it
We play the game smarter
Through the levels my heart bigger
It’s paper scissors 'long as Yah and Yeshua rock with 'em

Thug emcee be so fierce when they guns out
I only find a few showmen that be headstrong
See young Caesar’s dome pierced on the sundial
That’s Times New Roman on his headstone

If your start up don’t garner no sells
Get taught up get strong in yo competence
Harder
Your art is still a part of your wealth bruh
And good product gon’ market itself

Layers to this thang
Baby boy there’s reason to these moves




See there’s a lot of dirty players in this game
Gotta scout from the bleachers and be smooth
