Lyrical Analysis of...
NO FAKES (REMIX)10/15
- JxnBeatz
- [Intro –0:00–0:15]
- (Yeah, yeah)
- Ain't no fakes around my circle, nah
- Cut the snakes, let 'em crawl off
- Everybody real till the mask falls off
- (Huh, look)
- I ain't switch up, I just learned who you are
- [Verse 1 –0:15–0:55]
- I don't shake hands with a snake in disguise,
- I can see the jealousy deep in your eyes,
- You was talking loyalty, feeding me lies,
- Funny how the truth make the fake ones hide.
- I came from the bottom, had dirt on my shoes,
- Nobody gave a damn when I had nothing to lose,
- Now they see me winning, wanna walk in my shoes,
- But they ain't take the pain, they just watching the views.
- I kept it a hundred when they gave me a ten,
- Lost a couple brothers, wouldn't call 'em again,
- Used to call me family, now we ain't even friends,
- Some relationships ain't meant to make it to the end.
- I don't need a crowd, I just need me a few,
- Rather stand alone than be surrounded by fools,
- They'll be screaming love while they praying you lose,
- That's why I move different, got nothing to prove.
- [Hook –0:55–1:15]
- No fakes, no snakes, no love with a price,
- You can't play me wrong, then come back being nice,
- I done paid my dues, I done sacrificed,
- Had to lose a couple people just to get my life right.
- No fakes, no games, no switching my lane,
- Everybody wants the sunshine, nobody wants rain,
- If you wasn't in the struggle, don't be calling my name,
- I ain't changing for the money, I'm just staying the same.
- [Verse 2 –1:15–1:55]
- I seen best friends turn enemies quick,
- Soon as money got involved, they was switching the script,
- Smile all in my face, but they hoping I slip,
- I don't argue with a clown, I just cancel the trip.
- They was throwing all that shade, I was building a roof,
- They was busy making stories, I was living the truth,
- Tried to bury my name, but I'm breaking through,
- Funny how the dirt they threw helped my flowers bloom.
- That's a twist, ain't it? Let me talk my talk,
- Everybody claiming real till it's time to walk,
- I don't follow every voice, I don't trust every thought,
- Some people sell their soul for the things that I bought.
- I been low, been broke, been counted out,
- Had a thousand little reasons just to sit and doubt,
- Now the same ones laughing wanna come around,
- But the door don't open when the bridge burns down.
- [Hook –1:55–2:15]
- No fakes, no snakes, no love with a price,
- You can't play me wrong, then come back being nice,
- I done paid my dues, I done sacrificed,
- Had to lose a couple people just to get my life right.
- No fakes, no games, no switching my lane,
- Everybody wants the sunshine, nobody wants rain,
- If you wasn't in the struggle, don't be calling my name,
- I ain't changing for the money, I'm just staying the same.
- [Verse 3 –The Twist –2:15–2:45]
- Hold up, plot twist, let me flip this around,
- I was looking for the snakes, had to look at myself,
- Had to check my own pride, put my ego on the shelf,
- Can't be screaming everybody fake if I'm lying to myself.
- That's growth, that's facts, that's keeping it real,
- Can't judge another man's scars if you don't know how they feel,
- I don't need revenge, I just need time to heal,
- Real ain't what you tell the world, it's what you do when it's sealed.
- I forgive, don't forget, that's a different kind of strength,
- I ain't walking with a grudge, I got dreams I gotta chase,
- You can keep that fake love, I don't need another taste,
- I'd rather lose the whole crowd than lose myself in the race.
- [Outro –2:45–3:00]
- (Yeah, yeah)
- No fakes in my circle, no hate in my soul,
- I ain't chasing validation, I'm just chasing my goals,
- Real ones don't announce it, they just stand on the code,
- If I gotta walk alone, that's the road that I chose.
- No fakes...
- No snakes...
- Just real ones...
- Till the day that I go.
