Translated English Lyrics for Vector & Bella Shmurda’s If They Are Real
In my life, Jah opened my eyes
Encountered countless fake people
Closing in, within my life, oh
Yet, Jah opened my eyes…
Blessings to those who stay true with me
To those who witnessed my trials and tribulations
Could’ve succumbed to the realm that claimed Whitney
Yet, I emerged from shadows, seeking the light
Believing I must’ve done something right
Realized I evolved into a better version
Contrary to the perception others held
Rap becomes the motive for destruction
Murdering bars, tender, then bills, yeah, yeah
More illuminated than the mason
Clad in sultana, holy water in the basin
Oluso’s with me
Oluso aguntan’n with me
Hence, I must run it like Sonic
Not just for humor, yeah
Bestow upon me Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace
Many fake people encroaching in my life
Yet, Jah opened my eyes
If they’re genuine, bless them
So many fake people
Closing in, in my life, oh
But Jah opened my eyes
If they’re real, bless them
I must discern
If they’re real, bless them
If they’re real
Simply seeking to live
Not here to cause harm
Yearning to give to both the impoverished and affluent
Wishing to live life to its zenith
Ye mama ye
Some people are worldly
Some appear as fine boys
Some fly away
In Naija where we dwell
Some face the pain
Some choose to leave
While others opt to stay
Oya pa’riwo
Let them talk, let joy resound
Oya pa’riwo
Let them talk, let wealth accompany
During the era of Mary Slessor
They couldn’t divide us (Mmmh)
They couldn’t dictate our actions
They couldn’t perceive us, ah
Nowadays, I embrace my gangsta side
With a gangsta flow
Thought you were a tough guy
Where did your gangsta demeanor go?
Life took its toll on the gangsta
Yet, we endured, welcome to the gangsta fold
Attended gangsta classes, took gangsta notes
Still surprised by some gangsta jolts
Transformed from blunders with gangsta bolts
Revenge donned in an all-black gangsta coat
With men at the back
Shouting gangsta quotes
I’m dangerous now
When the world denied peace
They cut you till you bleed rain
(Mm mmm)
And you start to bleed rain
(Chai)
Many fake people encroaching in my life
Yet, Jah opened my eyes
If they’re genuine, bless them
I must discern
If they’re real, bless them
If they’re real
I must discern
If they’re real, bless them
If they’re real
