Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're just to blind to see the obvious truth
Your life is plagued with tons of fake friends
and there's a reason for it too
Never shut your mouth you just go on and on and spew your shit.
You live a life of lies you hypocrite
Mark my words I'll never bow down and be your friend you worthless bitch
Never shut your mouth you just go on and on and spew your shit
You live a life of lies you hypocrite
Mark my words I'll never bow down and be your friend you worthless bitch
You're just another spineless piece of shit
Fake friends is all you'll find
When you treat everyone like shit and leave your morals behind
Fake friends is all you'll find
When you treat everyone like shit and leave your morals behind
Find another, another friend cause, I don't like you
You're a fucking, a fucking bitch with only fake friends
Find another, another friend cause, I don't like you
You're a fucking, a fucking bitch with only fake friends
Nobody likes you
They're just pretending
Nobody like you
You're so full of shit
Whoa yeah
Fake friends is all you'll find
When you treat everyone like shit and leave your morals behind
Fake friends is all you'll find
When you treat everyone like shit and leave your morals behind
All your friends are fucking fake
What you gonna do when everything is said and through?
Always longing for acceptance but you can't accept the truth
You're fucked
And all your friends are assholes too, putting up a fucking front
Don't bite off what you can't chew
Malik B and Mr. Green's song, "Fake Friends" is a bold and unapologetic track about the dangers of surrounding oneself with fake friends. The opening lyrics reveal the singer's frustration with their friend's apparent lack of insight into the obvious truth about their lives: they are plagued with fake friends. The singer accuses their friend of being hypocritical and living a life of lies. The repetition of the line "Never shut your mouth you just go on and on and spew your shit" highlights their friend's constant need to talk and self-promote. The singer's refusal to "bow down" and become their friend highlights that they will not tolerate the toxicity and spinelessness that often comes with having fake friends.
The chorus of "Fake Friends" warns of the consequences of treating others poorly and leaving one's morals behind. It reiterates the idea that fake friends are the only kind of friends one will find when lacking integrity. The bridge of the song takes a more personal approach, as the singer calls out their friend directly, telling them that everyone is pretending to like them, and their friends are all fake.
Overall, "Fake Friends" is a raw, powerful track that encourages listeners to be wary of the friends they surround themselves with and the importance of being true to oneself.
