Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why you gotta be so fake?
Why your smile be painted on your face?
Why you even speak my name?
I guess I make you feel some type of way
[Verse 2]
She was raised right
Even when the world is on the shoulders
She would make me fight
Like a diamond, she'll keep shinin'
[Verse 3]
These things you're sayin' ain't stayin'
They don't want me
Like mountains are movin'
I'm grounded with gravity
[Verse 4]
Why you gotta be so fake?
Why your smile be painted on your face?
Why you even speak my name?
I guess I make you feel some type of way
[Verse 5]
That fake club, they braggin'
That fake book, hashtaggin'
Flexin' like they have it
Feel some type so
They come, they party
They fake all they hobbies
That crowded lobby
[Verse 6]
You must be mistaken if you think that she gon' take it
Wait
What ya put away, hottie girl?
[Verse 7]
I'm not fakin' face that you hatin'
On my downfall, you been waitin'
Take it how you wanna
I'm not bothered by all your fakeness
[Verse 8]
Keep your two cents in your pocket
Don't need that 'cause I got it
When I spoke to a prophet
Told me, I make all this profit
[Verse 9]
If I stay true to myself
You don't like it, go see him
You can't take the smile off my face
Too much style and so much grace
[Verse 10]
But in my heart, that's where it's gon' stay
You mad or not? You're throwin' that shade
Why would I trip on, what stuff did they say?
When every day, my dinner's gourmet
[Verse 11]
Why you gotta be so fake?
Why your smile be painted on your face?
Why you even speak my name?
I guess I make you feel some type of way
[Verse 12]
That fake club, they braggin'
That fake book, hashtaggin'
Flexin' like they have it
Feel some type so
They come, they party
They fake all they hobbies
That crowded lobby
[Verse 13]
Feel some type of way, way
It's written on your face, face
You feel some type of way, way
Oh, you're like the same, same
Feel some type of way, way
It's written on your face
You feel some type of way, way
Oh, you're like the same, same
[Verse 14]
Why you gotta look at me so strange?
I see the way you stare in my eyes
Why you gotta look at me so strange?
