Wooh
Wooh wooh wooh
I came through in a Benz Wagon, I'm on y'all neck
Get deep-throat while I'm on a boat, eatin' salmon croquettes
I'm in a big coat, I'm in a mink coat, my chain forgets
I'm sippin' clean coke with a mean hoe, that gimme more sex
And get the beat low, like a deep boat, and you know I'm cray
And getta' see notes, I'mma pop doors, in a four door Lex
You a weak hoe, need to take off, that fake Folex
Fake hoe, all these fake hoes
Fake hoes, all these fake hoes
See you on Canal Street with the fake flows
Fake hoes, all these fake hoes
Fake hoes, fake hoes, fake hoes, fake hoes
Fake hoes, fake hoes, fake hoes, fake
Yeh I know, all fake hoes
I just mixed the xan with the molly
She a freak hoe I'm tryna feel her body
So I'mma work her out somethin' like pilates
And I ain't saver her to bitch for everybody
We gon' hit the party with them freak hoes
We gon' knock em' down like some free throws
Police tryna find me like I'm Nemo
Drugs and the smoke we don't reload
Fake hoe, all these fake hoes
Fake hoes, all these fake hoes
See you on Canal Street with the fake flows
Fake hoes, all these fake hoes
Fake hoes, fake hoes, fake hoes, fake hoes
Fake hoes, fake hoes, fake hoes, fake
Yeh I know, all fake hoes
In "Fake Chanel," Yellow Claw, A$AP Ferg, and Creek Boyz criticize the prevalence of fake items and people in society. The first verse sees A$AP Ferg bragging about his material possessions and how he can afford them, implying that those who wear fake Chanel are not as successful as he is. However, in the chorus, he expresses his disdain for these fake hoes who try to imitate the real thing, and even goes as far as to call them out for buying their fake Chanel on Canal Street. The second verse talks about A$AP Ferg's drug use and sexual exploits, suggesting that even some people's personalities can be fake, putting on a facade to fit in with others.
The use of the word "fake" is intentionally repeated throughout the entire song to hammer in the message of the lyrics. The chorus is particularly catchy with its simple, repetitive melody that makes it easy for listeners to sing along to. The verses are full of clever wordplay and rhymes, reflecting A$AP Ferg's skill as a rapper. "Fake Chanel" is a song that encourages people to be real and authentic, rather than try to be something they're not.

Get deep-throat while I'm on a boat, eatin' salmon croquettes
Getting oral sex while on a boat enjoying salmon croquettes
I'm in a big coat, I'm in a mink coat, my chain forgets
I'm wearing a big coat and a mink coat with a flashy chain
I'm sippin' clean coke with a mean hoe, that gimme more sex
I'm drinking pure cocaine with a promiscuous partner who satisfies me sexually
And my teeth glow, worth a kilo, but I need more cheques
My teeth are sparkling and I have a lot of money, but I want even more
And get the beat low, like a deep boat, and you know I'm cray
Lower the music's volume and I'll get crazier than a deep boat ride
And getta' see notes, I'mma pop doors, in a four door Lex
I'll make money and open doors, with a luxurious four-door Lexus
You a weak hoe, need to take off, that fake Folex
You're a pathetic person and should take off your fake Rolex
Fake hoe, all these fake hoes
There are many fake people pretending to be something they're not
See you on Canal Street with the fake flows
I see these people on Canal Street with fake designer items
I just mixed the xan with the molly
I mixed Xanax with MDMA
She a freak hoe I'm tryna feel her body
She is a promiscuous person and I want to be intimate with her
So I'mma work her out somethin' like pilates
I'm going to put effort into satisfying her, like a pilates workout
And I ain't saver her to bitch for everybody
I'm not saving her and sharing her with everyone else
We gon' hit the party with them freak hoes
We are going to party with promiscuous people
We gon' knock em' down like some free throws
We are going to have sex with them like shooting free throws in basketball
Police tryna find me like I'm Nemo
The police are looking for me like they searched for Nemo in the movie
Drugs and the smoke we don't reload
We have enough drugs and smoke, we don't need to replenish
Yeh I know, all fake hoes
Yes, I know that all of these people are fake
