Overall Meaning

The lyrics to N.E.R.A.K's song Real Life speak to the desire to escape from a world of fantasy and enter into the real world. The repetition of "Real Life" underscores this desire, hammering home the message that the singer is no longer content with living in a world of make-believe. The line "I'm trying to wake up from this bad dream" represents both a literal and figurative desire to escape from the world of dreams and enter the real world. This can be interpreted as a desire to grow up and face life's challenges head-on, rather than hiding behind a veil of fantasy.


The use of the phrase "No more fantasy" strongly suggests that the singer has been living in a world of make-believe for some time - possibly as a coping mechanism or a way of avoiding reality. However, the repetition of "Real Life" throughout the song suggests a growing awareness that such a world is not sustainable and that the singer must face reality sooner or later.


Overall, the song Real Life speaks to the universal desire to escape from a world of illusions and enter into the real world. It is a powerful statement about the importance of facing life's challenges head-on and the dangers of living in a fantasy world.

Alright people! I have read most of the comments here, and I can say I pretty much admire the brutal honesty displayed - at first glance I got pissed about the descriptions of West Point although the very time this video was filmed I was there just a lil kid then, and the boy seen dancing on the beach used to be my buddy Shaki Kamara who got killed in 2014 by government force during the quarantine of the Ebola virus.

West Point has evolved so much at 19years I am typing this today - so glad I came across this Video and I am proud of it. We were once a really shitty neighborhood, but I loved it living here and this place is somewhere I can't forget. The day this video was filmed I followed the crew from the very first time I saw them till the end - which made me return home late and was flogged..lol

This brought back memories and now west point is cleaner, but being battled with Drugs abuse and sea erosion; much of the places in this video is no more.

Please can you come again and do another video? Some of the people i see in the video in the west point part have joined our ancestors - peace be unto their poor souls.

With tears in my eyes I never knew this day would come. This feels more like a reunion knowing all the time I was with the crew which helped us tell our stories.

Thank you for what you did! Thank you for making my day - now i am glad why I became a journalist
❤❤❤
Love and lights from the Peninsula of West point.

Naming yourself “General Mosquito Spray” just to piss off your rival, “General mosquito,” has to be the most petty, stupid, and brilliant thing I’ve ever heard.
