Be Who You Are (Real Magic) Lyrics
Radio
[Verse 1: Jon Batiste]
Lonely one, out there on an eagle's wings
You're bringing something they can't bring
And singing something they can't sing
I know it's lonely when saying something they ain't heard
Don't want to share a mumbling word
But just follow me and we will learn
[Chorus: Jon Batiste, All]
That you can only be who you are
That's just who I am, that's just my radio
That's just who I am, that's just my video
That's just who I, I, I am
I, I, I can't pretend 'cause I know
You can only be who you are
That's just who I am, that's just my radio (My radio)
That's just who I am, that's just my video
Wherever you are, real magic
You can only be who you are
[Verse 2: JID]
Look, uh, short days turned to long nights
I don't take breaks, I don't buy the hype
We donе made a way with no time to waste
It's no wait in linе, stay, place your wager
Bet on little buddy, betting safer
Melancholy, cool, calm behavior
Before the thunder, rain, storm, the pavement
I grew some wings that we can fly away with
Do the things that you cannot explain and
Find a way to get us out a maze
What we made of, on the cusp of doing something greater, unafraid
Been over all the underestimation, don't get mad at your imagination
If it's real magic, you ain't gotta chase it
You can only be who we are
That's just who I am, that's just my radio (Ooh)
That's just who I am, that's just my video
That's just who I, I, I am
I, I, I can't pretend 'cause I know
You can only be who you are
That's just who I am, that's just my radio (My radio)
That's just who I am, that's just my video
Wherever you are, oh Lord
You can only be who you are
[Verse 3: Hyein, Danielle, Hanni, Minji, *Haerin*]
언제나 걸고 있는 주문이 들리지
Clear all the talk away, there's nothing better really (Yes)
우리 이대로 다 go ahead and try
완성됐어 이미 (Yeah)
*Got into the spirit* (Yeah)
*잘했어 we did it yeah, yeah*
[Verse 4: Camilo]
Ajá, voy
Que venga to'l mundo a ver
Cuando estoy contigo es mi cosa preferida (Ajá)
Que la vida es más grande mientras más es compartida (Ajá)
Que cuando estamos juntos, mi vida
La magia no termina
We can only be who we are
That's just who I am, it's just my radio (Oh)
That's just who I am, it's just my video
That's just who I, I, I am
I, I, I can't pretend 'cause I know
You can only be who you are
[Post-Chorus: All, Jon Batiste]
(Radio)
(R-R-R-R-Radio)
(R-R-R-R-Radio)
Can't pretend, I can only be
[Outro: NewJeans, Camilo, Hanni, Danielle, *Jon Batiste*]
(That's just who I am, that's just my radio)
Eso es lo que soy yo, real magic
(That's just who I am, that's just my video)
Real magic, wherever you are
*We can only be who we are*

Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning
One of the things that Billy Bob does is he takes moments that are happening in the present and, just as a DJ would, he may blend in an interpolation or a nod to a song that is on wax from the past. He’ll even sometimes bend time and space and take a performance that’s happened in the future. This song exemplifies that to a T, where you have echoes of ‘Pass the Dutchie’, you have this K-pop section, then you have Camilo from Colombia coming in on the horns, and JID is rapping, and then I have my verse and I’m rapping. It’s a mission statement—I wouldn’t call it the deepest, but it’s the most banner track of what World Music Radio is all about.
