Something Real
Chasing Authenticity: Wiz Khalifa's Quest for Something Real
Lyrics
(Scott Storch)
Intro by Scott Storch
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah)
Repetitive vocalizations expressing emotion
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah)
-People so used to pain
Observation of people accustomed to pain
Why don't we try happiness?
Suggesting the exploration of happiness
Who knows how far we'll go
Hopeful contemplation on limitless possibilities
Seems like all I see is rain
Noticing a prevalence of challenges (rain)
What if that ain't how it has to be?
Questioning the inevitability of hardship
Who knows how far we'll go
Reiteration of exploring unknown possibilities
All I ever wanted was something real
Expressing a desire for genuine and authentic experiences
All I ever wanted was something real
-All I ever wanted was something real
-All I ever wanted was something real
-Instead of looking outside
Encouraging self-reflection instead of external validation
Look in the mirror once
Emphasizing the importance of self-awareness
Who knows how much we'll change
Curiosity about personal transformation
Instead of moving off of pride (without pride)
Discouraging actions based solely on pride
Do things together once (do it together)
Advocating for shared experiences and collaboration
Who knows how much we'll change
Speculating on the potential for positive change
All I ever wanted was something real
Reiteration of the longing for authenticity
All I ever wanted was something real
-All I ever wanted was something real
-All I ever wanted was something real
-Got me sayin', oh
Expressing emotional response through vocalization
Oh, oh, oh
-Oh
-Ooh
-Got me sayin', oh
Continued emotional expression
Oh-oh
-I gotta keep going, keep going, keep going if you want something real
Encouraging perseverance and effort for genuine experiences
Keep going, keep going, keep going if you want something real
-Keep going, keep going, keep going if you want something real
-Keep going, keep going, keep going if you want something real
-Keep going, keep going, keep going if you want something real
-Keep going, keep going, keep going if you want something real
Reiteration of the call to persist in the pursuit of authenticity
Keep going, keep going, keep going if you want something real
-Keep going, keep going, keep going if you want something real
