Fakin' Lyrics

[Verse 1 (Lecrae):]
I'm riding round and Iâ??m gettingâ?? it; they riding round pretendinâ??
I been had it, I been done, I promise that it's all empty
They say they ridinâ?? Bugatti's, man, put some babies through college
Quit trynaâ?? act like the trap is cool, â??cause we tired hearinâ?? that garbage
Hey, bags of white, pints of lean, I been on dope boys since a teen
But this ain't what we meant to be, and y'all don't make no sense to me
You pump fakinâ??, ain't shootinâ??, ain't killin, ain't doinâ??
Half them thangs you say you doinâ??, but 116 we stay true anâ??
Ain't dope dealinâ??, ain't Po pimpinâ??, talkinâ?? â??bout my own folk killinâ??
We on that Jesus soul healinâ??, so serious, gorillas
Wild ainâ??t we, can't tame us, been changed, canâ??t change us
1:16 â?? You canâ??t shame us. Live that truth; you can't blame us

[Hook:]
I heard him say he bought the block
(Fakin!)
In his song he say he ganstaâ?? but he not
(Fakin!)
Say he makinâ?? money, cashinâ?? big checks
(Fakin!)
While his chain leavinâ?? green on his neck
(Fakin!)
Iâ??m not impressed

So I guess that make you, yes that make you
That make you a faker!

[Verse 2 (Thiâ??sl):]
He was all juiced up, thought he was Tupac
â??Til â??dem boys caught him, hit him with them two shots
Now, he in the station singinâ?? like he T-Pain
The bullets made him lean, now I guess heâ??s 2 Chains
He bought that Bentley kit and wrapped it â??round a 300
Now matter how you put it, boy, thatâ??s still a 300
Stop that fakinâ?? and the flatchinâ?? cut it off
Frontinâ?? like your paper longer than the Power Ball
He think he Scarface, guess he ainâ??t seen the movie
Keep on fakinâ?? â??til you face down in a Jacuzzi
With some killas in you room with some real guns
That donâ??t make noise and ainâ??t plastic but they real guns

[Hook]

[Verse 3 (Lecrae):]
Real recognize real; introduce yaâ?? self
Careful with that cannon boy; you might just shoot yaâ?? self
Somebody wake emâ??, tell emâ?? to stop fakinâ??
Before they end up lyinâ?? in the woods buck naked
These killas fullaâ?? them demons, while you pretendinâ?? you Scarface
You ain't really no ghetto boy, why you fakinâ?? that hard face?
That just made him furious; somebody call Fishburne
Tell these boys in the hood 40 cal hits burn
And hell burns hotter, I turn to the Father
I prayinâ??, â??Lord forgive emâ?? â??cause they lyinâ?? like Mufasa
They got these eightâ?? graders with they eyes on a choppa
I pray the Lord save â??em â??fo He drop â??em and make â??em stop it

[Hook]
