Real
Waiian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I smile and watch you hate while I elevate, uh
Doing it again and again to get it so elegant
Stack my money big as an elephant
You see pen and paper, I see my element
Just might reinvent the alphabet
My mind, yeah I'm out of it
Like your money trying too much on an outfit (fit battle kuno)
For the clout, look at what the clown did
Even if I make you quit or kick you out
You still ain't outstanding
Fifty thousand just for sneakers and shoes you still look like a fool
Weak sneak dissing too, all I heard was envy
Even if you get m's on your YouTube you still ain't an emcee
Whu whu was that ha? Was I talking to you?
Oops, I be on my notΠ΅s like Blue's Clues
How could I snoozΠ΅ with all the bad news?
I need to log out and logtu
(Boy we're so through!)
Now I want plenty of Soju and some grape beer
Who said 2020 ain't a great year?
Take all the pain and tears then wait 'til the rain clears
I pull up with gifts like I'm traveling with reindeers
World so cold and it ain't even December
Everytime my eyes close, I remember (her)
Huh? (Wala!) I said life is a bitch, bitch please don't tease me
Throw flames in the game eat shrooms like Mario and Luigi
Thoughts become 3D, crooked cops and crocs so greedy
Take a lot of shots and you still can't see me
God always got'em three points like Egypt
I'm praying for a re-up and a reset
Kids wanna bite my style like Recess
All I write is reflex, next

So what's the secret?
I wanna know the secret
I really really really wanna know the secret
So what's the secret?
Tell us what's the secret
Waiian, I really really wanna know the secret

Keep it real
That's something that some of you can never do, never do, never do
All the answers are hiding right in front of you
All the answers are hiding right in front of you
Keep it real
That's something that some of you can never do, never do, never do
All the answers are hiding right in front of you
All the answers are hiding right in front of you

We that laid back, hard working Filipinos (kapoy bai)
Got the cheat code zero to a hero
Can't live without my earphones
Baby, I just love being a weirdo, weirdo, weirdo
Lunch time, eating salad with my family
I'm my boss and I decided to raise my salary
When I'm slacking I get mad at me
I rap in onomatopoeia they might not know what I mean
Pull up to the scene, white shirt like Mr. Clean
Speeding when I get that green
Lotta rappers in my rear view (buh-bye)
You've been here for years, and we still ain't never heard of you
Haters murmuring "Waiian, we wanna murder you!"
Stuck in a point of view, it don't hurt to try something new
Maybe you could learn from me, maybe it could work for you

So what's the secret?
Tell me what's the secret
I still really really wanna know the secret
What's the secret?
Tell us what's the secret
I really really really wanna know the secret

Keep it real
That's something that some of you can never do, never do, never do
All the answers are hiding right in front of you
All the answers are hiding right in front of you
Keep it real
That's something that some of you can never do, never do, never do
All the answers are hiding right in front of you
All the answers are hiding right in front of you

So that's what it is baby




There ain't no secrets
