DJ Four Five feat BIG Lyrics

(Woah...)
An exclamation to signify surprise or emphasis to the upcoming lyrics.

(cause I don’t want no fake love Gimme real hate not no fake love Cause I don’t need no fake love)
The artist wants genuine emotions in their relationships, rather than superficial ones.

(Yup...) (Gimme real hate not no fake love)
Reiterating the concept of real emotions, and preferring authentic negativity over fake positivity.

Pour me up a drink and lemme open up I see I got em mad cause I’m going up I peep the hate all in they eyes, when they showin love Rather get some real hate before they fake the love
As the artist gains more success and recognition, they observe jealousy and fake love in the people around them, and wish for genuine criticism instead.

Everyday you gotta stack like you can’t make enough You see the stress all in my eyes I can’t make it up Sending prayers in the morning when I’m waking up Like Lord gimme me a sign when they fakin love
The strain of constantly needing to accumulate wealth and prosperity is apparent, and the artist implores for a sign of authenticity in those around them.

I put it in my mind to get my paper up Took my losses like a man, a couple paper cuts You only got a little time you gotta wake em up Had a dream Im going broke so now I’m staying up
The artist is determined to succeed and endures losses along the way, knowing that they must stay focused and motivated to achieve their dreams.

See I can’t even rest, I was feeling pressed Kept a cross up on my chest, had me feeling blessed Learned to try to make it right when it’s going left Cause when u down and ask for help, people going deaf
The artist feels the pressure of always having to work hard and stay vigilant, but their faith and spirituality helps them feel protected. They also recognize that people will not always be there for them when they need help.

But you live and you learn And if it makes u money it should be yo concern I’m rolling up exotic, like the way that it burns They say if you always give, then you get what you’ve earned
The artist acknowledges the importance of learning from experiences and prioritizing financial gain, while still enjoying the finer things in life. Additionally, the concept of karma is mentioned - that one's actions will have consequences.

Roll me up a wood and lemme loosen up I see the hatin in disguise be confusing us I peep the hate all in they eyes, I be losing trust Rather get some real hate before you fake the love
The artist wants to relax and take a break while also being aware of the hidden jealousy and deceit around them. They want real criticism even if it hurts, instead of false affection.

Pour another drink and lemme open up I see the snakes in disguise, how they scoping us I feel the hate all in they vibes, when they showin love I rather get some real hate before they fake the love
As the night goes on, the artist continues to notice the hidden ill will present in their surroundings. They want authenticity even if it is negative.

See everybody show you love when u helpin out But if them tables turned would they help you out? I always think bout them times I was in a drought I never had no money, never had no clout Plus the city that I’m from they don’t make it out. I had to go and get a bag made a paper route. Felt like stackin up this money was the safest route. And fuck a hater we don’t worry what they hatin bout.
The artist remembers times when they were overlooked and poor, and understand the true nature of people's loyalties. They worked hard on their own to earn a livelihood and feel that financial stability is the best form of security. Ultimately, they do not concern themselves with negative people.

Cause I don’t want no fake love, I’d rather get some real hate before some fake love Cause I don’t need no fake love, I’d rather get some real hate before some fake love
The chorus reiterates the concept of wanting genuine emotions, even if they are negative, instead of inauthentic flattery.

Roll me up a wood and lemme loosen up I see the fakes in disguise be confusing us I peep the hate all in they eyes, I be losing trust Rather get some real hate before they fake the love Cause I don’t want no fake love, I’d rather get some real hate before some fake love Cause I don’t need no fake love, I’d rather get some real hate before some fake love
The last verse is a reiteration of earlier thoughts, identifying the challenge of identifying genuine people in the artist's circle and reiterating the desire for honest negativity instead of hollow positivity.
