I'm not fake like them
They’re like: Fake like when?
When I wake up then
I see a fake like them
I'm not fake like them
They're like: Fake like when?
When I wake up then
I see a fake like them
Cut my losses, ball and chain
I don’t want no fakes speaking my name
You ain't gang, we ain't the same
Step away, step away, don't play this game
In the street, in the street
I keep the peace all day
You ain't real don't come this way
In the street, in the street
Won't you keep the peace for me?
You ain't gang, don’t come this way
There’s levels to the rebels
And I'm good with a little trouble
But I'm done with you, throwing the pebbles
Better run with the tiger
And you better be a rider
Ain't nothing 'bout my life is subtle
Cut my losses, ball and chain
I don't want no fakes speaking my name
You ain’t gang, we ain't the same
Step away, step away, don't play this game
In the street, in the street
I keep the peace all day
You ain't real don't come this way
In the street, in the street
Won't you keep the peace for me?
You ain't gang, don't come this way
There's lessons in the struggle
Sometimes I think I love all
You're just going where there is trouble
You can meet me in the middle
Set up for a model
That brings us to the bridge of this battle
Cause you're fighting in a place that's already won
I'm not gonna ask you where you got your gun
You're hiding in a place that's already found
Hope you'll realize this fakeness don't count
In the street, in the street
I keep the peace all day
You ain't real don't come this way
In the street, in the street
Won't you keep the peace for me?
You ain't gang, don't come this way
No mistake, make no mistake
When you see me, make no mistake
Namasté me, namasté
Can you explain all for us to break?
