Fake Love
Drake Lyrics

Yeah
Expression of agreement and acknowledgement.

I've been down so long it look like up to me
I have been through so many hardships that anything slightly better can seem like a huge success.

They look up to me
People respect and admire me for my apparent success and achievements.

I got fake people showin' fake love to me
People who claim to love and support me are in fact only pretending for personal gain.

Straight up to my face, straight up to my face
People are openly dishonest and insincere to my face without any shame or remorse.

Somethin' ain't right when we talkin'
The conversation is not going well or there is an underlying tension when we communicate.

Look like you hidin' your problems
It appears that you are trying to mask or conceal your issues.

Really you never was solid
You were never truly reliable, dependable or trustworthy.

No you can't son me, you won't ever get to run me
You cannot manipulate, dominate or control me as I am in charge of my own life and decisions.

Just when shit look, outta reach, I reach back like one, three
Even when things seem impossible or difficult, I always manage to turn things around and come out on top.

That's when they smile in my face
People pretend to be friendly and supportive towards me.

Whole time they wanna take my place
However, they are secretly envious and want to be in my shoes or take what I have worked for.

I can tell that love is fake
I can sense that the affection and loyalty people claim to have for me is not genuine.

I don't trust a word you say
I have lost faith in your ability to be honest or sincere with me.

How you wanna click up after your mistakes?
After betraying or hurting me, how do you expect me to trust and partner with you again?

Look you in the face and it's just not the same
I can see that things have changed and our relationship is not what it used to be.

Yeah, straight up to my face, tryna play it safe
People are playing it safe and avoiding confrontation by being insincere and pretending to care.

Vibe switch like night and day, I can see ya like right away
People's moods and behaviour change unpredictably and it is clear to me that they are fake.

I came up, you changed up, I caught that whole play
I have succeeded and made progress, and it is evident that you have changed and are not genuine.

Since then, it's never been the same
Our relationship or dynamic has shifted and has not been as authentic and trustworthy since my success.

I've been down so long it look like up to me
I have been through so many hardships that anything slightly better can seem like a huge success.

They look up to me
People respect and admire me for my apparent success and achievements.

I got fake people showin' fake love to me
People who claim to love and support me are in fact only pretending for personal gain.

Straight up to my face, straight up to my face (skrrt)
People are openly dishonest and insincere to my face without any shame or remorse.
