Fake Fanbase

Babe, you know that I'll be right here

So deep, I pushed you away

Don't say I never tried

To fix us

But it's been so long since I

They wasn't loyal to me

They wasn't loyal to me

I had a fake fanbase

I had a fake fanbase

They wasn't loyal to me

They wasn't loyal to me

I had a fake fanbase

I had a fake fanbase that slid wit' me 'cause they seen that I ran with Hop

They wanted diversity, so I popped up and gave **** everything that I got

Didn't know what a Juggalo was, so when they announced my name, everybody was shocked

I was hot, I felt like a Bob Marley or a Pac

I'm feelin' like Westbrook, why not?

Fuck it then, no pressure

If I gotta prove myself, then I bet 'cha

I make mothafuckas respect us

I make mothafuckas respect us

I'm the one comin' with the extras

What a drive and time to be alive

But the things I failed to realize

That my character's still bein' demonized

By association, they brought me in to be an innovator, tryna make it better

Can count on one hand how many studio sessions that we all did together

And that bothered me, they all know that that bothered me to the core

It wasn't the artistry, it was the chemistry that we just lacked in and ignored

But I thank God for the blessings in disguise

Cuttin' the fake fans from this side

They wasn't loyal to me anyway

And I promise that I ain't gon' fall for the lies

Open my eyes, open my eyes

'Cause I don't want to be remembered for not having no real agenda

Babe, you know that I'll be right here

So deep, I pushed you away

Don't say I never tried

To fix us

But it's been so long since I

They wasn't loyal to me

They wasn't loyal to me

I had a fake fanbase

I had a fake fanbase

They wasn't loyal to me

They wasn't loyal to me

I had a fake fanbase

Yo, I had a real fanbase that stuck with me 'cause they seen what I brought to the plate

And I was the youngin' at times, but sometimes I felt like a father with somethin' to say

Had to accept it, never expected that my life would be filled with grace

Thank you for stickin' around and holdin' me down before I go open the gates

Look, it ain't been easy, but I never treated this art like it was a dash

I just love to be in my bag

Emotions is comin', I'm feelin' it fast

Mentally paint it, I can't let it past

Put it out, put it out, put it out

Sound like sellin' that piano for one-and-a-half

But I never showed up wearin' no mask

Times is changin'

Plant seeds, got a seed at a banquet

In the gym, tryna pull up tankless

Can't fold, when life got cold, we gave y'all hope, not just blankets

But y'all kept me high in the rankings

He's a legend in the making

I wanna hug and kiss and thank them

Sometimes it's just hard to express it

Carvin' out my lane through the lessons

Didn't really understand what I was missin'

But I seen what machines requested

Every journey gotta come with perspective

You can shovel them cards and deck them

You can lose in life and indebt them

I just thank y'all for the protection, that's what loyalty do

Babe, you know that I'll be right here

So deep, I pushed you away

Don't say I never tried

To fix us

But it's been so long since I

They wasn't loyal to me

They wasn't loyal to me

I had a fake fanbase

I had a fake fanbase

They wasn't loyal to me

They wasn't loyal to me

I had a fake fanbase
