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?
