pronunciation of "real" in this song (skyline)

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?. [https://youtu.be/Z-0tTi7GaPg?t=62](https://youtu.be/Z-0tTi7GaPg?t=62)

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.
