Real as It Gets

[3] Lyrically, the song is about the streets and the "current rockstar lifestyles" of Lil Baby and EST Gee.

[6] In the chorus, Lil Baby sing-raps: "I been savin' my guala, I ain't savin' no bitch / I had put down my Glock, but I picked up a stick / Don't get in hatin' shit, I'm on some greatest shit  / My people proud, I'm as real as it gets".

He also wrote that EST Gee's "punchier style contrasts nicely with Lil Baby's melodic float.
