Counterfeit
Limp Bizkit(림프 비즈킷) Lyrics

Freakin' me out you wear a mask called counterfeit,
You're freaking me out by pretending to be someone you're not.

You're freakin' me out you wear a mask [Repeat: x5]
You are upsetting me by putting on this false persona.

Hey man wake up and smell the concrete
You need to snap out of this false identity and come back to reality.

Strange to see you've changed like the LB
It's odd to witness the drastic change in your behavior, similar to how Limp Bizkit has evolved in their music.

Could be identity crisis but I can't buy this
It's possible that you're struggling with your sense of self, but I'm not convinced.

Reality bites but that's what life is
The truth can be tough to swallow, but that's just a part of life.

Pitiful you, your hideous behavior
Your actions are shameful and unattractive.

Hate what God gave ya, fakin all the flava
You dislike how you were naturally created, so you're trying too hard to be something you're not.

Artificial minds seekin out the new trends
You have a contrived mindset, constantly looking for the latest fads to follow.

Get in where you fit in
You're trying to find your place in the crowd by conforming to their expectations, regardless of whether or not it suits you.

Quit thinkin like a has-been diggin in my culture
Stop acting like you're past your prime, trying to force yourself into my world.

Let me let your punks know I'm an old school soldier
I'm here to show you youngsters that I've been around the block and know what's real.

With the funk flow
I bring a distinctive style to the table that can't be replicated.

A damn shame you want to change yourself
It's unfortunate that you're willing to alter your entire being to fit society's standards.

Because you're sick of yourself
You're disgusted with who you truly are.

Well I'm sick of you too, fake
I'm equally tired of this fabricated persona you're projecting.

You're a, a counterfeit, fake
You are fake, phony, and a liar.

You know we figured you out
We've seen through your facade and your true self is no longer a mystery.

I wonder what it's like to be a clone
I'm curious as to what it feels like to lose one's originality and become a mere copy of others.

Doin' nothin, nothin' on my own
You're living a life devoid of creativity or self-expression.

Filed as a counterfeit, going down in history as nothin but a copy cat (copy cat)
You'll be remembered as nothing more than an imitator.

So if your fakin that you're phat you need a ballbat
If you continue pretending that you're cool, someone needs to hit you with a bat to knock some sense into you.

Right where your head is at
The bat should connect with your skull, where your brain is supposed to be.

All your desperation causes separation
Your desperation to fit in is causing a rift between you and those around you.

Now I grab the mic to intimidate
I'm using my powerful words to intimidate you.

Your weakness screams from the limb on your siren
Your vulnerability is revealed by how desperately you're trying to fit in.

Phonies get the hint quick smacked with funk flick
Fake people like you can tell when they're not wanted and they get smacked with a dose of reality.

Pain for the fakers fame can't maintain
It's difficult for fake people to maintain the illusion of fame and it often leads to their downfall.

You disregarded your life (disregarded your life)
You've neglected the importance of living an authentic life.

You disrespected your friends (you disrespected your friends)
By being fake, you've disrespected those who care for and support you.

You've even stolen your appearance (stolen) from hangin out with my family
You've copied your appearance from people close to me.

But I should have never dropped my guard (shoulda never dropped my guard)
I should have been more cautious around you and not let my guard down.

So you could stab me in the back (stab me in the back)
You used my trust to your advantage and betrayed me.

Just faking me out you wear a mask (you wear a mask)
You've been misleading me all along and hiding behind a false identity.

Now you're steadily startin to change
You're slowly starting to reveal your true self.

You want to rearrange your lifestyle with live like the wild child
You want to live a rebellious lifestyle and break free from societal norms.

With the vibe alive you could lie to try and be so fly
You're trying to come off as cool and trendy when you're really not.

A lie but you deny you're a fake
You're lying to yourself by denying that you're fake.

You know we figured you're a phony (fake)
We've figured out that you're fake.

You know we figured you out (fake)
We've uncovered the truth about you.

You know we figured you out, figured you out, figured you out
We've pieced together all the clues and have come to the conclusion that you're fake.

Fake (a bunch of times)
You're fake, phony, and a liar.

You're probably freaking me out (a bunch of times)
You're causing me to feel uneasy and uncomfortable through your false personality and actions.

Back to the top
The song goes back to the beginning.
