A candid expression of life based on experience. Vector starts the record with the lines “In my life, Jah open my eyes.”

He says “There are the battles and the victories in every story; The duality of both sides of the coin in all honesty amidst all the lies and fake truth.”

“If They are Real” is more than just an enjoyable track. It offers a personal account, narrating the experiences and stories of people and places, whether real or fictional.

Vector and Bella Shmurda reveal their fears, hopes, advice, and perspectives that motivate them.

Bella Shmurda delivers the hook as he sings “So many fake people, closing in in my life oh, but jah open my eyes, If they’re real ose ba mi”

In his singing, Bella Shmurda’s vocals convey the weight of vulnerability. He opens up to the emotions of living “I just want to live, I no come to kill, I just want to give to the poor and the rich, I just want to live my life to the peak.”

Produced by That BeatSmith, the mood is solemn. The drums and percussion are mid-tempo. Allowing Vector and Bella Shmurda’s words to touch your heart.

lyrics

IF THEY ARE REAL LYRICS

In my life
Jah open my eyes.
So many fake people
Closing in in my life oh
But nah open my eyes…

God bless the people keeping it real with me.
To the people who saw me do the ordeal with me
I would’ve tapped into the realm of that which killed Whitney.
I would have tapped into the realm of that which killed Whitney.
But i crawled out of my shadows trying to perceive light.
Cos i believe there must have been something that i did right.
I realize that I became the better version.
of the version everybody thought was a better version
And rap is the reason to kill,
It’s murder the bars, murder the tender
Then i will murder the bills yeah yeah
He’s more illuminated than the mason.
Wearing that sultana, holy water in the basin
Oluso’s so mi
Oluso aguntan’n so mi
That is why i got to run it.
Like I’m sonic
Ko ma funny yeah
Amazing Grace for me
Amazing Grace

Chorus ( bella )
So many fake people
Closing in in my life oh
But jah open my eyes.
If they’re real ose ba mi

So many fake people
Closing in in my life oh
But jah open my eyes.
If they’re real ose

I got to see.

If they’re real ose

If they’re real ose

I just want to live.
I no come to kill.
I just want to give to the poor and the rich
I just want to live my life to the peak.

 

IF THEY ARE REAL LYRICS

I just want to live my life to the fullest.
Ye mama ye
Some people them Aiye
Some people dem ah fine boy
Some people fly away.
For Naija where we dey
Some people face the pain.
Some people dem ah japa
Some people dem ah stay ah.

Oya pa’riwo
Wan so’le ola d’ariwo
Oya pa’riwo
Won so’le ola d’aworo
In the time of Mary Slessor
They no fit slice us.
(Mmmh)
They no fit tell us what to do.
Them no fit see us ah.

Nowadays I’m on my gangsta shit.
With my gangsta flow
Thought you were a tough guy.
Where’d your gangsta go.
I guess life took a mudafuckin gangsta toll.
But we survived that so welcome to the gangsta fold.
I’ve had gangsta classes.
I took gangsta notes.
And I still go shocked by some gangsta volts.
But I became the thunder from the blunder with gangsta bolts.
Revenge dressed in an all-black gangsta coat.
With some men at the back
Yelling gangsta quotes
I’m dangerous now.
When the world wouldn’t let peace reign
They cut you till you open.
And you start to bleed rain.
(Mm mmm)
And you start to bleed rain.
(Chai)
So many fake people
Closing in in my life oh
But jah open my eyes.
If they’re real ose
I got to see.
If they’re real ose
If they’re real ose

I got to see.
If they’re real ose
If they’re real ose
