Heergh...
Ya (Ya)
Ya (Ya)

I don't think I love you, my emotions aren't the same
I'd rather be alone than go hangout with some lames
It's funny how they judge you when they see you made a change
I poured another four just to take away the pain
My friends weren't my friends they was lookin for some clout
I had what they wanted so they always came around
You told me you would be there but you never held it down
I'm out here bein' loyal now I'm lookin like a clown
I popped another addi, now my heart is speedin up
And I don't wanna love you shorty I just wanna fuck
Got angels on my shoulders I got demons in my cup
And I'm hardly ever out because it's hard for me to trust
Runnin' through my cellphone, jottin' down these notes
I remember times when they thought I was a joke
The people that surround me actin like they care
They see i'm doin good now they wish that they was here

But I can't do no fake friends
I can't do no fake hoes
I can't do no fake bros
I just need them pesos
I can't do no fake friends
I can't do no fake hoes
I can't do no fake bros
I just need them pesos

Roll a blunt and relax, ease your mind
I'ma be here for a while, take your time
Lock the doors, spill your heart, never lie
And they talk about me now cause I'm that guy
They say I needed help but I did this by myself
Smokin' all the time hardly thinkin' bout my health
I just been alone i'm not thinkin that it helps
They threw me in a fire and expected me to melt
I came out a warrior I had to make it last
I'm not the type to worry about a problem in the past
I just keep on moving knowing that I made this path
These bitches say they love you but will switch up for some cash
I put myself in college i was taught that that was right
Well, now I'm 18 and i see that's not my life
I'm under to much pressure feel like i can take advice
You only live once fuck the rules I'm takin' flight
My niggas in the cage free em out fuck the law
I swear when they get out on my life we gonna ball
You wanna be the great be yourself fuck them all
Explain myself too much now I'm feelin' lockjaw
Runnin through my cellphone
Jottin down these no's
I remember times when they thought I was a joke
The people that surround me actin like they care
They see i'm doin good now they wish that they was here

But I can't do no fake friends
No I can't do no fake friends
No I can't do no fake hoes




No I can't do no fake bros
I just need them pesos

Overall Meaning

In the song "Fake" by Mike Medusa, the lyrics express a lack of trust towards people who have perceived to act friendly but are ultimately fake and shallow. The opening lines "I don't think I love you, my emotions aren't the same, I'd rather be alone than go hangout with some lames," set the tone for the rest of the song. The artist has grown tired of these "fake" people who only use him for their benefit, and are not true friends. The lyrics continue to explain how even though he has been surrounded by people who he thought were his friends, they were only around for their own benefits such as clout, money, and fame rather than genuine friendship.


The lyrics also show the artist's struggle with trust issues, stating "And I'm hardly ever out because it's hard for me to trust." The artist has been let down by people who claim to care for him, ultimately resulting in the belief that the only thing he needs from others is money, hence the repeated phrase "I just need them pesos." The song concludes by solidifying the artist’s resolve to stay away from fake people, urging listeners to do the same.


Overall, "Fake" is a poignant reflection on the struggles of being in the entertainment industry and the toll it can take on personal relationships. The lyrics remind one to stay away from "fake" people who do not truly care about their well-being and to only value genuine friendship.
