[English]

No joke

No Cap! Just real talk

I don't beat around the bush with my words

Cases stack up, endless

Thought I was crazy

Caught your eye completely

Nothing can hold me back

'Cause I'm too hot, too lit

Attack! Move forward

Gather strength

You gotta act and see results fast

Void, illusions, can't be true

Don't make enemies, stay calm, help out

Only roll with the real ones

Hold up! Hey man

I'm for real, no joke

No joke

I'm for real, no joke

No joke

I'm the real deal, better listen up

I know, I know

You want to dissent, dissent, dissent, dissent

I know, I know

You want to dissent, dissent, dissent, dissent

I rule the game! Yo

Not just for fame! Yo

Everyone's stunned, yo

Still foolishly believing, yo

Just turn it, turn it

Turn down that ignorant weakness

Clap clap, true trust isn't just hearsay

Collecting info everywhere, not to prove

Who's fake

Not caring, not shaking my head doesn't mean it's real

Aye Aye! Not exposing, isn't consent, hold up!!!

I'm for real, no joke

No joke

I'm for real, no joke

No joke

I'm the real deal, better listen up

I know, I know

You want to dissent, dissent, dissent, dissent

I know, I know

You want to dissent, dissent, dissent, dissent

Hold up! Hey man

I'm for real, no joke

No joke

I'm for real, no joke

No joke

I'm the real deal, better listen up

I know, I know

You want to dissent, dissent, dissent, dissent

I know, I know

You want to dissent, dissent, dissent, dissent
