Falsifying
Paul Wall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold up these boys fronting
Like they moving blocks
Like big dope slangers on swaggers
Cruising drugs
I can't stand niggas rapping
Like they use them Glocks
You ain't no ball hog nigga
You ain't shooting up shots
Niggas claim to have stripes like a referee
But you ain't calling no shots nigga technically
This ain't a game this is life the only techs you'll see
Is not fouls just guns that reset your T I M E
Some niggas fake it til they make it
They tell lies then they wish that they could erase it
Face it there ain't no facts in none of ya statements
You ain't wearing guns like it's a fashion statement
I know you gone hate this talking to you mister
Smile when they with ya
And when they leave they diss ya
See niggas gone wish ya don't get no richer
I'll snap with no Kodak and hope that you get the picture
Now let's keep it real are you really a vulture
That'll make a nigga as stiff as a picture on a poster
Tell the truth if a hater get up and approach ya
Would you make that nigga wish he
Stayed seated like a sofa
Most of well let me say a large percent
Of these keeping it real niggas is fraudulent
I know you thought you had ya boy convinced
But you fake you phony you know the rest

Only us wait to swipe falsifying
Talking bout the paper stick
When you know they fucking pay
Only us wait to swipe falsifying
Sliping that drink when you hating

Calling your bluff
A lot of rappers claim to be tough
You bout as tough as toilet tissue full of that brown stuff
Your commode is about to erupt
You think you're hot dogging but ya ketchup is catching up
Tomorrow ya stuck
Ya rims cost more than ya truck
You a baller but you always wanna borrow a buck
My worst rap is better than ya best song
Ya'll boys faker than Li press ones
Rapping hard but the streets know lie bout drama
When ya dog died you went home and cried to ya mama
You'll get devoured in this game like a wildebeest
With your white gold chain and your silver piece
Please don't make me laugh
You slab when you rap but in real life you catching a cab
I saw you at the club with that fine chick you was hugging
Telling me it was your gal but it's really your cousin
You fake you phony you exaggerating
If you a mack why you always home masturbating
You ain't gotta lie to me about the cash you making
Quit acting and faking
For real

Only us wait to swipe falsifying
Talking bout the paper stick
When you know they fucking pay
Only us wait to swipe falsifying
Sliping that drink when you hating

Yeah there is no need to lie
You ain't sliping drink
You ain't smoking diss
You ain't got no in the pimp or you ride




Quit falsify

Line by Line Meaning

Hold up these boys fronting Like they moving blocks Like big dope slangers on swaggers Cruising drugs
Some people pretend to be drug dealers and try to show off their wealth and weapons, but they are really just pretending.


I can't stand n*ggas rapping Like they use them Glocks You ain't no ball hog n*gga You ain't shooting up shots
I don't like it when rappers act tough like they are shooting guns, because they are not really doing anything impressive.


N*ggas claim to have stripes like a referee But you ain't calling no shots n*gga technically This ain't a game this is life the only techs you'll see Is not fouls just guns that reset your T I M E
People may think they are tough like a referee with stripes, but they are not really making any important decisions. Life is not a game, it's a matter of life and death with guns and violence.


Some n*ggas fake it til they make it They tell lies then they wish that they could erase it Face it there ain't no facts in none of ya statements You ain't wearing guns like it's a fashion statement
People pretend to be something they're not until they become successful, but then they regret all the lies they told. There is no truth in what they say and carrying weapons is not a fashion statement.


I know you gone hate this talking to you mister Smile when they with ya And when they leave they diss ya See n*ggas gone wish ya don't get no richer I'll snap with no Kodak and hope that you get the picture
You may not like what I have to say, but I'm going to speak the truth. People will be nice to your face, but talk about you behind your back and secretly hope you don't become successful. I don't need a camera to show you the truth.


Now let's keep it real are you really a vulture That'll make a n*gga as stiff as a picture on a poster Tell the truth if a hater get up and approach ya Would you make that n*gga wish he Stayed seated like a sofa
Let's be honest, are you really someone who would hurt someone else? Would you really be able to defend yourself if someone tried to attack you? Or would you just cower and do nothing?


Most of well let me say a large percent Of these keeping it real n*ggas is fraudulent I know you thought you had ya boy convinced But you fake you phony you know the rest
Many people who claim to be honest and real are actually fake and dishonest. You may have fooled some people, but I know you're not who you claim to be.


Only us wait to swipe falsifying Talking bout the paper stick When you know they f*cking pay Only us wait to swipe falsifying Sliping that drink when you hating
Only a few of us are honest and don't pretend to be someone we're not. While others may talk about making money, we know that they are really just pretending. And even when they act friendly, they are secretly sabotaging us and hoping for our failure.


Calling your bluff A lot of rappers claim to be tough You bout as tough as toilet tissue full of that brown stuff Your commode is about to erupt You think you're hot dogging but ya ketchup is catching up Tomorrow ya stuck Ya rims cost more than ya truck You a baller but you always wanna borrow a buck My worst rap is better than ya best song Ya'll boys faker than Li press ones Rapping hard but the streets know lie bout drama When ya dog died you went home and cried to ya mama You'll get devoured in this game like a wildebeest With your white gold chain and your silver piece Please don't make me laugh You slab when you rap but in real life you catching a cab I saw you at the club with that fine chick you was hugging Telling me it was your gal but it's really your cousin You fake you phony you exaggerating If you a mack why you always home masturbating You ain't gotta lie to me about the cash you making Quit acting and faking For real
Many rappers act tough but they are not really brave or strong. They may act like they have a lot of money and possessions, but really they struggle to make ends meet and depend on others to help them out. Their music is not very good, and they often lie about what happens in their lives to try and be more interesting. They are not really successful in the tough world of music, and instead they just pretend to be something they're not. They may say they are good with women and have a lot of sex, but really they are just at home alone. They don't need to lie to me, because I can see through their false image.

I can't believe this song's so underrated. This is pure fucking gold NGL!

Conway Twitter

When you're not signed to the majors and its 2001-2002, you didn't get much radio play. Dont get me wrong, this was playing all over Houston, Dallas/Ft Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Waco, Killeen radio stations, but the further from those cities you went, the less you heard it. It did hit the charts though. It also was nominated for Indy Album of the year.. those that know know.
