Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: Up Sise team, You're listening to? The Daily Game a
Speaker 1: compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that
Speaker 1: I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.
Speaker 1: Today's quote is more of an observation and one that's
Speaker 1: ridiculous in my opinion. The same people that say fake
Speaker 1: it till you make it say keep it real. Let
Speaker 1: that sink in. Let's break both these statements down. Fake
Speaker 1: it till you make it? What does that really mean?
Speaker 1: Does that mean dress the part that you want to play?
Speaker 1: Do that mean look good when you're going into an interview.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call that faking it. I mean I would
Speaker 1: call that presenting yourself correctly. Do you walk around and
Speaker 1: you tell people that you are somebody you're not, Will
Speaker 1: that get you through the doors. I mean, it's been
Speaker 1: proven that that can work the problem with faking it
Speaker 1: till you make it is motherfuckers get so good at
Speaker 1: that that they never stop faking it and they never
Speaker 1: make it. That becomes the occupation just faking it. They
Speaker 1: receive rewards for faking it. They become impostors, but they
Speaker 1: never make it because they're too good at faking it.
Speaker 1: They end up liking faking it. Until you're really willing
Speaker 1: to be honest with your position, you're not gonna be
Speaker 1: able to make it. You're gonna have to be honest
Speaker 1: with somebody if you're walking up to me like, Yo,
Speaker 1: I got all these jewels on, blah blah blah, I'm
Speaker 1: this big rapper. Okay, well then I'm not gonna help you.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to say, really, yo, this jewels fake
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I'm just trying to make it,
Speaker 1: but you've already showed me you're a liar. It's a
Speaker 1: difficult one, So fake it if you want to become
Speaker 1: a great fake. Odds are you won't make it. Now
Speaker 1: let's go to this other one. Keeping it real to me,
Speaker 1: keeping it real isn't what they call keeping it real.
Speaker 1: Keeping it real to them is just saying anything, just
Speaker 1: speaking out your mouth, saying how you feel about everything
Speaker 1: at the moment, just being outwardly ignorant. That's keeping it
Speaker 1: real to me. Keeping it real is keeping it real
Speaker 1: to yourself. What do you want to be? Who do
Speaker 1: you want to be? Do you want to drink. No,
Speaker 1: Then when the homies say let's drink, you say, I
Speaker 1: don't want to drink. That's keeping it real. I don't
Speaker 1: got no tattoos, I don't smoke weed, I don't really
Speaker 1: drink alcohol. That was me keeping it real to myself,
Speaker 1: not to the hood. People like, well, how could you
Speaker 1: be from the hood and you ain't got tats Cause
Speaker 1: I kept it real. I kept it real to myself.
Speaker 1: That's keeping it real. So a lot of people feel like, well,
Speaker 1: you ain't keeping it real if you ain't acting like us,
Speaker 1: that's not real. That's you, it's not me. Keeping it
Speaker 1: real is keeping it real to yourself. So people that
Speaker 1: say fake it till you make it and keep it real,
Speaker 1: don't pay much attention to them. All right, if you
Speaker 1: want to make it, be honest to yourself and embrace
Speaker 1: your evolution as you get better and bigger. Fuck all
Speaker 1: that fake in it shit and keeping it real can
Speaker 1: go severely wrong. Watch Dave Chappelle's show for that one.
Speaker 1: He has a segment called when keeping It Real Goes wrong.
Speaker 1: This has been another ice cold fact from me iced tea.
Speaker 1: Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your
Speaker 1: ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, and say knowing
Speaker 1: that are the same people out there they're telling you
Speaker 1: to keep it real are the fakest motherfuckers you may
Speaker 1: ever come across. I He's Daily Gaining. It's a production
