Fake Love
Ice Maine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Made a Nigga had no choice
Talking about these years of struggle
Everyday my Nigga suffer
Got some rich Niggas in my hood, but they act like they see nothing
I was barely 18 before these motherfuckers starting hating
I knew my real bro's then I had to fucking slide
I had to switch off side, then I started getting wise
Me and my brother paid it twice
Felt like jumping off the cliff when I see my momma fucking cry
Got no one to run to, all I did was hustle
Out in concrete jungle, life like royal rumble
All I fucking went through but yet I was so humble
Only GOD I fear bro I don't care what fucking gun do
Came out from a poor home yet we had some rich thoughts
Believed in the Bible guess this how the faith works
Now am fucking way up, diamonds on my wrist watch
All my Nigga switching Benz when they are vibing Jhus
I ain't even tell these Niggas that I dropped from school
That was in JSS2 and snow SS2
We started street life but though the vibe was cool
We tryna catch up fast to meet our mate in fucking school
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
This ours lives in lasgidi
Many Niggas on the system tryna catch a mugu
Scam scam scam
You want love yeah they got it when it's time for cashing out they don't seem pathetic
If you ain't get wise in the street you can't be wise Nigga
Backstabbing shit in the street so pick your side Nigga
You got to trust nobody not even your wife Nigga
And for the money Nigga they gon take your life Yo
We all try to survive don't play hard or you die, ain't been broke in a while
I get bands from no wild, don't talk to me like a child
I thank GOD for my life, I rised up and I shine you gon rise you gon shine yeah yeah
No body know me, came out the brick I had no money, in the trenches
Got to plan my way up in my business, I'm allergic
Niggas feel so bossy, so had to let them be
Striving for a better deal, yes or no I got to win
More or less, more or less life is built on tolerance
Patient is a key so I had to waited for my better time
Yes I'm never gon relax
Pushing through for better chance
Eye for an eye in the street so I never trust a bitch nigga
They don't love you they're only acting like they fucking do
Warning to that bitch nigga who set his hommie up
Cops bursted at block what the fuck asking how come
Oh pussy niggas can be stupid with their thoughts
Some are roofless said he can't support me on my song
I don't care though , even Christ was snitched in the Bible
Pop up like Zazas like I've been working on my iPhone
Life is a movie so better stay close on your TV
Ice cold like it Fiji, never give it up I told my gees we gonna beat it
Believe me, dream crasher like meek mill
Told that bitch not to leave me believe me, she leave me
Keep my eyes close to my dreams like I'm on a GG
Niggas from lasgidi make a deposit of 150
Caught up in the scene in a journey with my friends
When we working from our ends days of the dreaming about the Benz
Oh really cannot even stop until am dead
But real thing I ain't tryna die young
Never brag about the shit that I done
Caught up new cases on a daily need no lawyer
Broski I'm icon, yeah a new survivor
Couple cases need a statement yeah i cannot even write all
Trapping like I'm working it
Sky is blue I'm a different person
Break the law that's automatic
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Love in the street is a fake one
Yeah they only gon love when you're made it
I told 'em broski to show me some love and support
While putting up my shit through they don't care
Why showing up fake love now when you seeing my ways up oh pussy
While your life starts changing for good it started with unseen believed dreams Nigga
Surely gonna come through
All you need to do is what
Work hard and pray, never give up
Snow Land (Meridian Boy)
