FAKE FOLKS

Fake folks

What’s the one thing I can’t stand?
Shammers, perpetrators, advantage-takers, time-wasters…
I know you know one or two, maybe even a few
Yep! It’s those fakers, false, phonies, frauds
Some are dudes and some are broads
But you know who I mean
Say one thing, do another
I’ll call you they say, but they mean when they need a favor
I’ll see you later!
Won’t hold my breath
I won’t settle for less
Little do they know I am a Ghetto Princess
Well educated, so often underestimated
Grew up in the worst of the worst,
But my mom put me first, so I came out on top
With class and style, a lady 24/7
But don’t mistake my smile
And quiet demeanor
I know you haven’t seen her, my other side
I’ll let her hide till I need her.
Cross me once, alright, your bad
Cross me twice, could be the worst day you had.
Me, I’m real, even with my fake ponytail
Never fails, you’ll see the same me, inside
I don’t hide.
But those fake ones, wanna-take-from-you ones
Oh they get under my skin, but I know they will never win
For truth prevails and I’ll set sail
On my realness, being me, for the truth always sets you free!
