i don't hear the "R", when he says "real", is this an alternative way of pronouncing "real"? [https://youtu.be/Z-0tTi7GaPg?t=68](https://youtu.be/Z-0tTi7GaPg?t=68) . (if i had to guess, i'd say that he's saying "but i swear it feels FAIR") And also i don't hear the word "hop" at all, is it me, or he really doesn't say it?.

Songs aren't the best place to learn pronunciation. Words are often altered to fit the music/vibe.

Google says the lyric is fair but everywhere else says real, sounds like fair to me Hop is there but it’s lost in the mix, sounds more like up

I hear “real” in the intro, at 0:21, and “fair” in the rest of the song. This matches the lyrics displayed in Spotify. I do hear “hop into my skyline” throughout the song, although the “h” sound isn’t as aspirated as it would be in speech.
