Lyrics Authentic Fakes - Smellington Piff, Rag'n'Bone Man

Authentic Fakes

Yeah
They take, take, take, but they never give back
Two faced, fake’s stay hidden by the mask
They smile to your face and now you’re steak of the stash
Place your fingers near my plate
Prepare to get them stabbed with a fork
Never break bread with my enemy
And secondly it stinks of bullshit when you talk
Shove the cork in, be quiet and keep walking
The fact is, you chat shit and do jack shit
With your hands out begging for a portion
Of my percentage, you pushed the boundaries of friendship
Jealousy and envy will end it all
You’re heading for a fall
Getting through to you, is like tryna have a conversation with a brick wall
You desperately long for supremacy
But have the tendency to fuck it up tremendously
Hidden by your fake identity
Be real
I see you talking out your mouth
(I see you talking out your mouth)
But I can’t hear a sound
Said you lose so many friends
(Said you lose so many friends)
They’ll never come back around
They smile when you mourn, then they swarm when you’re earning
Fake friends make ends meet when they’re lurking, around your possessions
Plainfaced;
blatant
Wait for confessions, I speak like their father
Teach 'em some lessons, the same old palava
Real-life drama, you’re stuck in a jam
Whatever you chose to do never goes to plan
A thief who thieves from their own, that’s no sort of man
You should have listened to your first inkling
Cause I chop fingers clean off if they’re half-inching
Pinching my tat?
You better put it back
Take off that hood and cap
Fuck your hollow lives just apologise, act like you mean it
Or burn like a phoenix, I mean this
You better not try me, you sly little slimey grass-snake
I see straight through you like a man with a glass face
I see you talking out your mouth
(I see you talking out your mouth)
But I can’t hear a sound
Said you lose so many friends
(Said you lose so many friends)
They’ll never come back around
