WEBVTT - Keep It Real

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Up Sise team, You're listening to? The Daily Game a

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:12.320
<v Speaker 1>compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.759
<v Speaker 1>Today's quote is more of an observation and one that's

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:25.799
<v Speaker 1>ridiculous in my opinion. The same people that say fake

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>it till you make it say keep it real. Let

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>that sink in. Let's break both these statements down. Fake

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>it till you make it? What does that really mean?

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Does that mean dress the part that you want to play?

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.639
<v Speaker 1>Do that mean look good when you're going into an interview.

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't call that faking it. I mean I would

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 1>call that presenting yourself correctly. Do you walk around and

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 1>you tell people that you are somebody you're not, Will

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>that get you through the doors. I mean, it's been

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>proven that that can work the problem with faking it

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>till you make it is motherfuckers get so good at

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:09.839
<v Speaker 1>that that they never stop faking it and they never

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>make it. That becomes the occupation just faking it. They

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>receive rewards for faking it. They become impostors, but they

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:24.040
<v Speaker 1>never make it because they're too good at faking it.

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 1>They end up liking faking it. Until you're really willing

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 1>to be honest with your position, you're not gonna be

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>able to make it. You're gonna have to be honest

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 1>with somebody if you're walking up to me like, Yo,

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.479
<v Speaker 1>I got all these jewels on, blah blah blah, I'm

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>this big rapper. Okay, well then I'm not gonna help you.

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna have to say, really, yo, this jewels fake

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know, I'm just trying to make it,

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>but you've already showed me you're a liar. It's a

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 1>difficult one, So fake it if you want to become

0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>a great fake. Odds are you won't make it. Now

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>let's go to this other one. Keeping it real to me,

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 1>keeping it real isn't what they call keeping it real.

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Keeping it real to them is just saying anything, just

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>speaking out your mouth, saying how you feel about everything

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>at the moment, just being outwardly ignorant. That's keeping it

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.360
<v Speaker 1>real to me. Keeping it real is keeping it real

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 1>to yourself. What do you want to be? Who do

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>you want to be? Do you want to drink. No,

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Then when the homies say let's drink, you say, I

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 1>don't want to drink. That's keeping it real. I don't

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.359
<v Speaker 1>got no tattoos, I don't smoke weed, I don't really

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 1>drink alcohol. That was me keeping it real to myself,

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 1>not to the hood. People like, well, how could you

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 1>be from the hood and you ain't got tats Cause

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I kept it real. I kept it real to myself.

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>That's keeping it real. So a lot of people feel like, well,

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>you ain't keeping it real if you ain't acting like us,

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>that's not real. That's you, it's not me. Keeping it

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>real is keeping it real to yourself. So people that

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.360
<v Speaker 1>say fake it till you make it and keep it real,

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 1>don't pay much attention to them. All right, if you

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 1>want to make it, be honest to yourself and embrace

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>your evolution as you get better and bigger. Fuck all

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 1>that fake in it shit and keeping it real can

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:28.079
<v Speaker 1>go severely wrong. Watch Dave Chappelle's show for that one.

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>He has a segment called when keeping It Real Goes wrong.

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 1>This has been another ice cold fact from me iced tea.
