Fed Up
Flame Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somebody please open the case
(Open the case) we may
Need to investigate (woo)
Cause they never show it to your face
(they never show it)
I can't tell who has been a fake I'm fed up
How many of us got a real friend
Somebody riding to the real end ooh fed up
How many others got a real friend so far
(so call the fed up)
Keeping it up with keeping real

See most of the times
I'll be chilling every now and then
In my feelings cause people smile and
Look you in the eyes
And act like they got your best interest
I'm just trying to stay out the way though
Trying to keep my head down I'll
Be fed up straight up creative
Like all wow they lie they lie they lie
That ain't the same thing that
You said to me
They lie they lie they lie now
You gon' switch it up
When you in front of your peeps
Hard for me to believe all I
Did was show you grace
So hard for me to see your other face
To see you show your other face

Somebody please open the case
(Open the case) we may
Need to investigate (woo)
Cause they never show it to your face
(they never show it)
I can't tell who has been a fake I'm fed up
How many of us got a Real friend
Somebody riding to the real end ooh fed up
How many others got a real friend so far
(so call the fed up)
Keeping it up with keeping real

I must admit it took me by surprise
Oh some years ago when you
Looked me in the eye
Like oh you love me then I
Was caring through the fire
Like oh ain't that a shame but
That's what's on the playground
Now we live our lives why
You do that drive by
It's the it's the it's the it's
The stuff we don't abide by
It's one thing for you to
Straight up promise swear that
But that faith love in my
Face you can have that

You don't really care though
You just a smooth talking liar, a manipulator
You play the victim
I'm so tired of your silly games
Guess that's just the way you're wired
I'm just shell shocked
Wasn't expecting friendly fire
Oh you better thank God that
I've practiced self control
Oh you better thank God I
Got screen shots to show
Open the case up now man I
Wish I wouldn't have recorded it
Open the case up now cause it is
Not the way you recorded it
Now I see you for who you are
Out there blue you left me scarred
Used me before but not no
More used to be cool
Now here you are I'm done

Somebody please open the case
(Open the case) we may
Need to investigate (woo)
Cause they never show it to your face
(they never show it)
I can't tell who has been a fake I'm fed up
How many of us got a Real friend
Somebody riding to the real end ooh fed up
How many others got a real friend so far
(so call the fed up)
Keeping it up with keeping real

Your fake friends they out there
But we just take the high road the high road
Them fake friends they out there
Feel better knowing God knows christ knows
Them fake friends they out there
But God knows he's in control
Them fake friends they out there
Sometimes you gotta let em go let them go




Them fake friends they out there
But we just take the high road the high road

That's what's on the playground
That's the reality of the situation


Now we live our lives why
Now we continue with our lives, wondering


You do that drive by
You pass by me without acknowledgement


It's the it's the it's the it's
This, this, this, this behavior is


The stuff we don't abide by
The actions we don't tolerate


It's one thing for you to
It's acceptable for you to


Straight up promise swear that
Genuinely declare and commit to


But that faith love in my
But the trust and love I had in


Face you can have that
You can keep or take that with you


You don't really care though
You don't genuinely care, however


You just a smooth talking liar, a manipulator
You're simply skilled at deceit and manipulation


You play the victim
You pretend to be the one suffering


I'm so tired of your silly games
I'm exhausted by your foolish behavior


Guess that's just the way you're wired
I suppose that's just your nature


I'm just shell shocked
I'm completely stunned


Wasn't expecting friendly fire
I didn't anticipate being hurt by someone I considered a friend


Oh you better thank God that
You should express gratitude to God because


I've practiced self control
I've learned to restrain my emotions


Oh you better thank God I
You should be thankful that I


Got screen shots to show
Have evidence in the form of screenshots


Open the case up now man I
Expose the truth now, man, I


Wish I wouldn't have recorded it
Regret capturing it in recording


Open the case up now cause it is
Uncover the truth now because it's


Not the way you recorded it
Different from how you portrayed it


Now I see you for who you are
Now I truly understand your true character


Out there blue you left me scarred
Unexpectedly, you deeply wounded me


Used me before but not no
You took advantage of me in the past, but not anymore


More used to be cool
We used to be friends


Now here you are I'm done
But now, I'm finished with you


Your fake friends they out there
There are fake friends around you


But we just take the high road the high road
But we choose to take the moral and dignified path


Them fake friends they out there
Those fake friends are out there


Feel better knowing God knows christ knows
Take solace in the fact that God and Christ know the truth


Them fake friends they out there
Those fake friends are out there


But God knows he's in control
But God understands, and He's in control


Them fake friends they out there
Those fake friends are out there


Sometimes you gotta let em go let them go
Sometimes you have to let them go, let them go


Them fake friends they out there
Those fake friends are out there


But we just take the high road the high road
But we choose to take the moral and dignified path
