Fake Love
Nafe Smallz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They tried, yeah, you know they tried to break us
All them late nights I make you wait up
I pull up, you in nothin' but your makeup
I fuck you 'til the mornin', ain't no fake love
I put them diamonds all on you like a glacier, ooh
Have 'em wildin', them bitches, they be hatin'
We be fightin' and I just wanna make up
Are you riding? 'Cause I don't do no fake love

I'm from the curb so they know what I be made of
I'm from the curb so they know I'm not no stranger, ayy
But that money have your people hella change up
It's more lonely as I'm gettin' more famous
You said you was ridin', told you I'd be faithful
I gave you all my time, you've been actin' ungrateful
So much on my mind, bitch, you know I got my plate full
You was here to take away the stress, that's why I rate you, ayy

They tried, yeah, you know they tried to break us
All them late nights I make you wait up
I pull up, you in nothin' but your makeup
I fuck you 'til the mornin', ain't no fake love
I put them diamonds all on you like a glacier, ooh
Have 'em wildin', them bitches, they be hatin'
We be fightin' and I just wanna make up
Are you riding? 'Cause I don't do no fake love

I ain't lyin', only wear my glasses when I can't swear
Fell in love with my driver, heart still in fifth gear
Say you're your brother's keeper, but you're tryna rocket these things
Bought your ice all in the winter, don't you turn your heart blings
Dodgin' felonies, swervin' eulogies
Took your heart all in a beat, made you part of me
Fuckin' in the sun, fuck the shade, we in jacuzzis
I can't have you single 'cause you never been a groupie
Oh, oh, oh, oh, fake love like Drizzy's tune
Oh, oh, oh, oh, no makeup, beautiful
Gotta make you mine, I told your daddy I'ma marry you
And I know I ain't perfect but vice versa, girl, I'll bet you won't
When I get home, you should come and get in the bath
You know I'm your dog, and if I get you on fours
Take a picture that we never can post, yeah

They tried, yeah, you know they tried to break us
All them late nights I make you wait up
I pull up, you in nothin' but your makeup
I fuck you 'til the mornin', ain't no fake love
I put them diamonds all on you like a glacier, ooh
Have 'em wildin', them bitches, they be hatin'
We be fightin' and I just wanna make up
Are you riding? 'Cause I don't do no fake love

I'm from the curb so they know what I be made of
I'm from the curb so they know I'm not no stranger, ayy
But that money have your people hella change up (change up)
It's more lonely as I'm gettin' more famous
You said you was ridin' (ridin'), told you I'd be faithful
I gave you all my time, you've been actin' ungrateful




So much on my mind, bitch, you know I got my plate full
You was here to take away the stress, that's why I rate you, ayy

Overall Meaning

The song "Fake Love" by Nafe Smallz, Yxng Bane talks about a relationship that is not based on false emotions, rather is built on a foundation of true love. The opening lines of the song suggest that people have tried to come between the couple, but they have remained strong. The lyricist then talks about how he values his partner's time and presence, staying up late nights to be with her.


The second verse seems to convey the rapper's thoughts on how fame and money change people, causing distance between him and his partner. He says that he is grateful for her presence in his life, but sometimes it feels like she's just taking him for granted. Despite the challenges, the lyricist is committed to his partner, saying that he does not believe in fake love and that their love is genuine.


The chorus emphasizes this point, saying that he put diamonds all over her like a glacier, and they are not fake, unlike others who hate on them. The song's suggestive tone, combined with its lyrics about true love, makes it a unique and engaging piece that resonates with many listeners who have experienced similar challenges in their love lives.

A music video with an actual storyline and great music to go with it, it’s good to see authenticity is back in music

@hamajangz9586

I like Nafe. His sound resonates with me more than the drill stuff the UK is constantly pushing out. His music could easily succeed in the US. We love this type of vibe.

@stevec5885

Of cause it does.It sounds like pretty much everything you hear on the charts in the US.
Try High Focus or Blah Records for a authentic UK sound

@bigm16_unknown11

True

@younesbaghdad3396
