Realer N Realer by Future Lyrics Meaning – A Dive into the Duality of Success and Struggle
Lyrics
I like to do what I wanna do
I like to play with these bands
I got the money and fame now
My family don’t understand, understand
(Wheezy outta here)
Shit getting realer and realer, uh
Came up on a couple of million, uh
I invest that in some buildings, uh
Look at my money, it tripled, uh
Shit getting realer and realer, uh
I lost my bro to the system, uh
I lost my bro to a pistol, uh
They tried to take me with him, uh
I can’t go for that, no, no
I stay with killers every day
Keep a 40, it’s hungry
I turn your block to a buffet
Yeah, I spend a lot
Balenciaga jacket, Dior shades
I got a lean stain on it, I’ma give it to my maid
Uh, people love to talk about the money that they make
Nobody wanna talk about the money that they save
Who am I to talk about it? I blow money every day
‘Cause I know when you die, you can’t take the shit to your grave
Gucci and Louis shoes everywhere, I don’t got no closet space
Versace drawers, my underwear cost what you make in a week
Uh, big shit, expensive shit, all that shit
12 gauge, hit him, he do backflips
40 hit him and he Michael Jackson
Uh, big shit, expensive shit, all that shit
Only wanna fuck one time, baby, I’m on the fall back shit
Matter fact, you wanna fuck her, but you on the call back list
But if I hit it already, chances are I ain’t finna call back, bitch
Shit getting realer and realer, uh
Came up on a couple of million, uh
I invest that in some buildings, uh
Look at my money, it tripled, uh
Shit getting realer and realer, uh
I lost my bro to the system, uh
I lost my bro to a pistol, uh
They tried to take me with him, uh
I can’t go for that, no, no
I stay with killers every day
Keep a 40, it’s hungry
I turn your block to a buffet
Yeah, I spend a lot
Balenciaga jacket, Dior shades
I got a lean stain on it, I’ma give it to my maid
All these tennis chains on, I kinda feel like a slave
Bitch got a cum stain on my Gucci shirt, I threw it away
I’m so fly to you, I’m high to you, I take that to the grave
Having a thrill off these pills, I could OD any day
Shit getting realer and triller, I came up on a lotta M’s
Gotta pop on the opps, we shootin’ out soon as we see ’em
Mobbin’ on the G6’s, gon’ very hard to see him
I turned a stripper to a maid, bringing Magic to the crib
Seven carats on my ring, seven carats on my ears
Chopper going off like, “Ring, ring”
Got Peedi Crakk, yeah
I got Céline and codeine, I’m going outta here
Got more hoes than Yeezy clothes, they put up like souvenirs
Shit getting realer and realer, uh
Came up on a couple of million, uh
I invest that in some buildings, uh
Look at my money, it tripled, uh
Shit getting realer and realer, uh
I lost my bro to the system, uh
I lost my bro to a pistol, uh
They tried to take me with him, uh
I can’t go for that, no, no
I stay with killers every day
Keep a 40, it’s hungry
I turn your block to a buffet
Yeah, I spend a lot
Balenciaga jacket, Dior shades
I got a lean stain on it, I’ma give it to my maid
Within the heart of hip-hop, the continuous interplay of opulence and adversity takes center stage. Future’s ‘Realer N Realer’ offers a profound examination into the dichotomy of an artist trapped between the highs of financial prosperity and the harsh realities that linger in the periphery of the limelight.
The track unfolds as a barebones confessional, etching a landscape where the gleam of luxury intertwines with the grit of personal loss and societal entrapments—a narrative that mirrors the complexities of the human condition as seen through the eyes of the Atlanta-based wordsmith.
The Great American Juxtaposition: Wealth and Loss in Rhymes
‘Realer N Realer’ doesn’t shy away from showcasing Future’s financial victories—luxury brands adorn his lyrics like badges of honor. But beneath the veneer of success lies a sobering undercurrent of tragedy: the loss of a brother to both the penal system and to gun violence.
These stark, jarring transitions from braggadocio to grief speak to a lived experience where joy and pain coexist in a delicate balance, offering listeners a window into the paradox of achieving the American dream while grappling with its underlying nightmares.
From Materialism to Mortality: The Layers Behind the Glam
The rapper’s penchant for opulent brands and indulgent lifestyles reverberates in lines that flaunt designer names and enviable possessions. Yet, Future disrupts the gleeful flexing with contemplations on the futility of wealth, remarking on the inevitability of mortality and the inability to carry riches beyond the grave.
This philosophical pivot serves as a poignant reminder of the transient nature of material success, inviting the listener to question what, amid the ephemeral thrills of extravagance, truly holds everlasting value.
Violence and Vulnerability: The Unspoken Language of the Streets
Embedded within the tapestry of Future’s verses is an unflinching portrayal of the violence that shadows street life. Metaphors of bullets transforming scenes into performances illustrate the commonplace nature of this brutality.
There’s a raw vulnerability in acknowledging the proximity to danger, serving as a testament to the harsh realities that many face despite soaring to the upper echelons of wealth and fame.
Decoding the Hidden Message: A Treatise on Hedonism
‘Realer N Realer’ is more than an anthem of ascension; it’s a navigation of the voids filled by temporary pleasures. The high of monetary gain and the intoxication of substances are interspersed with hints of deeper longing—perhaps a quest for something more substantial than ephemeral delights.
Future’s introspection reflects a clash with hedonism, where indulgence serves as both a coping mechanism and a stone in the foundation of a life constructed amidst chaos.
Memorable Lines: Echoing the Dichotomy of Existence
‘I lost my bro to the system, uh, I lost my bro to a pistol,’ resonates as more than a lyric; it’s a somber rallying cry for awareness around systemic issues and the personal toll they take. When Future voices ‘I spent a lot, Balenciaga jacket, Dior shades,’ it’s a layered assertion, juxtaposing the symbols of success against a backdrop of deeper loss.
These lines become emblematic of the song’s core message. They encapsulate Future’s personal narrative while mirroring broader societal themes, and the oscillation between advancing self and yearning for connection remains, making ‘Realer N Realer’ an enduring testimony to the artist’s journey and the complexities of the human experience.
