Got the pedal to the medal when I pull up out the garagethey feelin 'em at all, these niggas a mirage
handling my biz like a full body of massage, hands on
niggas gon hate, hoes wanna menage
cops fuck wit me hopin to get a charge
hoes leaving their man, fuckin us cause our cars

started kinda hot, now its safe to say we bubblin
400 on a zip, blow it all day
another city, state, another mill to make
[Chorus]
In Wiz Khalifa and Drake's song "Real Estate," the lyrics encapsulate the lifestyle of success, luxury, and the trials faced by those who are achieving fame and wealth. The intro sets the tone, indicating a level of confidence and familiarity with their lifestyle, hinting at the recognition that comes with it. There's an air of nonchalance in their assertion that if anyone wants to know about their accomplishments or identity, it can be easily traced back to the "gang" they represent. This reinforces a collective identity rooted in their shared experiences and achievements. The mention of spending change signals their financial comfort and the ease with which they manage their wealth.
Wiz’s opening verse dives deep into his life as an artist constantly moving at high speed, both physically and metaphorically. The imagery of "pedal to the medal" conveys a sense of urgency and success, where he thrives by handling his business with precision. The reference to “a full body of massage” suggests that he is not just working hard, but also enjoying the fruits of his labor. The use of words like “mirage” suggests a dichotomy between appearance and reality, where while others may envy or hate from the sidelines, their understanding of his life is superficial. The line about girls leaving their partners for the allure of wealth illustrates the impact of material success on personal relationships. Through his narrative of living large, Khalifa emphasizes not just the pleasures of wealth but the shadows of envy and desire that accompany it.
The chorus reflects the idea of consistency and unchanging identity in the face of success. Khalifa expresses a sense of pride in his achievements—the repetition of "that's how I feel" underscores his certainty in his worth and the lifestyle he embraces. The imagery of his face on a "million dollar bill" not only symbolizes his value in the game but also asserts a level of self-confidence where he feels he deserves to be celebrated on par with the highest echelons of wealth. This phrase becomes a potent metaphor for his aspirations being realized and recognized, reinforcing the message that he views himself as an integral part of the elite financial landscape, while also acknowledging the inevitable scrutiny and jealousy that wealth brings.
In the second verse, the lyrics explore the blurring lines between leisure and profession, as Khalifa describes "ballin'" not as a mere pastime but as his main occupation, reinforcing the idea that success is an integral part of his identity. The mention of “hoes on my dick” provides a glimpse into the lascivious nature of fame, where attraction often stems from superficial success. Furthermore, “couple stars with me, that’s a constellation” not only suggests that he mingles with other successful figures but also elevates his status by comparing himself to celestial bodies. The culmination of wealth—literally counting "Jacksons, Grants, Benjamins"—illustrates that for him, financial success is a language unto itself, one that requires no translation among those living in luxury. Thus, the depiction of high-flying parties, symbolized through "12 bottles of Rosé," exemplifies both the celebratory nature of this lifestyle and the inherent challenges that accompany such visibility, as critics and haters linger, wanting to undermine the narrative of success. In all, "Real Estate" effectively encapsulates themes of wealth, ego, and the allure and pitfalls that accompany a life lived in the fast lane.
