Lyrics I'm Fake (Radio Edit) - Jermaine Hussein

I'ma keep it real with you, I'm fake
They be asking how they music sound
And I be lying to em saying it's straight
Homie said that he ran off on the plug
I told em I feel him, but I can't relate
I remember times when I was starving
Telling people that I already ate
I be ignoring things that I love
And giving attention to s*** that I hate
On the surface I be saying I'm free
But I'm living with some s*** that I can't escape
I be showing all these n***** love
But deep down I be knowing they snakes
Standing on the business coming correct
Even when they tell me it's a mistake
I'm a keep it real with you I'm fake

I'ma keep real with you
I don't wanna deal with you
I don't know them people that you be hanging with
And I ain't trying to get k***** with you
I don't like the s*** that y'all be doing
And I don't like the s*** that y'all be saying
Being brutally honest be funny
So whole time they be thinking I'm playing
GAH D****! I got my own problems
I got my own pain
But nobody don't cares
So I know they need something from me
Whenever my phone rang
Yea Yea, havin my own money
I rep my own gang
I get my own bags like self checkout
So I'm in my own lane

Yea yea, I know they hate me but act like we cool
I don't look excited cuz I'm not amused
I got nothing to prove
But so much to lose
Don't care if they like it
I do what I choose
Don't wanna shoot videos for my songs
Cuz I never did s*** for the views
But I'm going top floor with the suite
Cuz I'm only doing s*** for the views

I'ma keep it real with you, I'm fake
They be asking how they music sound
And I be lying to em saying it's straight
Homie said that he ran off on the plug
I told em I feel him, but I can't relate
I remember times when I was starving
Telling people that I already ate
I be ignoring things that I love
And giving attention to s*** that I hate
On the surface I be saying I'm free
But I'm living with some s*** that I can't escape
I be showing all these n***** love
But deep down I be knowing they snakes
Standing on the business coming correct
Even when they tell me it's a mistake
I'm a keep it real with you I'm fake

They be shaking your hand
Like they yo mans
Whole time they behind yo back
Snaking yo plans
If you don't f*** with me
Don't f*** with me
But don't make an advance
I ain't like yo s*** cuz
I don't like yo s***, I'm not a fan
But the world ain't ready for that
If you tell 'gem the truth then they gon swear that you hatin
If you starving and ask for a plate
When they mad they gon throw it in yo face
Aye, I can relate, ain't no debate
Still tryna settle my parents' estate
Imagine you bought a new crib
And n***** that we thought was cool felt some type of way
N**** you fake
Remember we come from the jungle
You know that we run with the apes
From the beginning the dream was get out hood
So how you mad we escaped
Hit my line if you got something to say
Get the money then get out way
How they competing with you
And you don't know it
Ima keep it real that's fake
N**** you fake

I'ma keep it real with you, I'm fake
They be asking how they music sound
And I be lying to em saying it's straight
Homie said that he ran off on the plug
I told em I feel him, but I can't relate
I remember times when I was starving
Telling people that I already ate
I be ignoring things that I love
And giving attention to s*** that I hate
On the surface I be saying I'm free
But I'm living with some s*** that I can't escape
I be showing all these n***** love
But deep down I be knowing they snakes
Standing on the business coming correct
Even when they tell me it's a mistake
I'm a keep it real with you I'm fake
