Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Y'all should've been there when I told 'em to keep that lil' deal money
Look upon they face was like, is he for real?
Real as any them scriptures that you could quote
What made it real, fact I had said it when I was broke
I'm Rakim, had to tell 'em I ain't a joke
What it profit, man, to gain the world, yet lose his soul
Lord knows I am far from innocent
But dare I feed my brothers to the wolves, then reap the benefits?
[Verse 2]
Only for whitey just to hit 'em with them sentences
Or that white tee just to leave 'em in remembrance
Remember Prince, told you it's a catch to it
Take my catalog, I just as soon set a match to it
Money like a side chick, I ain't that attached to it
Ain't adding up, I done done the math to it
Keep the zeros, give it to them weirdos
Even how they dress now, we would never wear those
[Verse 3]
How they out here rapping, yet they claim they in the trap a lot?
We don't buy it, it's fake news
Put 'em on the big screen since they like to act a lot
We don't buy it, it's fake news
Said they never snitch but we know that you a chatterbox
We don't buy it, it's fake news
One big joke, luckily we like to laugh a lot, ha-ha-ha
We don't buy it, it's fake news
[Verse 4]
What happened to the other brother? Heard he in the church now
Think he better than us all, he don't even curse now
I ain't in Bible class, tucking my shirt now
I'm running back in that fire like towers had burnt down
Handful of OG's, rest of 'em turned clown
Threw his man under the bus, you're going to jail now
Cool to tell now, even if you perjure
Ain't that the truth, I'm so sojourner, Nat Turner
[Verse 5]
Not Timmy, I always kept a burner
Seem within your verses, y'all get away with murder
You're killing me, am I the only one feeling me?
If so, I rap to myself like it's a soliloquy
Why this need for alternative facts?
At fifteen, I sold soap as alternative crack
Now I ride to Chili Peppers and alternative tracks
My my, how time fly, no turning it back
[Verse 6]
How they out here rapping, yet they claim they in the trap a lot?
We don't buy it, it's fake news
Put 'em on the big screen since they like to act a lot
We don't buy it, it's fake news
Said they never snitch but we know that you a chatterbox
We don't buy it, it's fake news
One big joke, luckily we like to laugh a lot, ha-ha-ha
We don't buy it, it's fake news
[Verse 7]
How they out here rapping, yet they claim they in the trap a lot?
We don't buy it, it's fake news
Put 'em on the big screen since they like to act a lot
We don't buy it, it's fake news
Said they never snitch but we know that you a chatterbox
We don't buy it, it's fake news
One big joke, luckily we like to laugh a lot, ha-ha-ha
We don't buy it, it's fake news
