Lyrics

[Intro]
Every day I watch them come and go
Taking what's mine, man, that's all I know
[Verse 1]
Sitting on my block, counting up the costs
Everything we built up here getting lost
They think we don't see what's going down
But I keep my eyes on every part of town
Money disappearing from the system
While they claiming benefits, I'm listing
[Chorus]
Fake papers, fake loyalty (What?)
Playing both sides gonna get you buried (Brr)
Fake papers, fake loyalty (Yeah)
Playing both sides gonna get you buried
[Verse 2 - Rap]
Each morning I check the numbers don't add up
While they crossing lines, my patience running up
Got their hands out taking every dollar
While my people struggle, make me wanna holler
They pledge allegiance but I know the truth
South of the border where their heart stays loose
Working under tables, voting in our streets
Taking what we earned through all our blood and sweat
I ain't staying quiet while they run this scheme
Making moves in silence, loyal to their team
System's getting played while we pay the price
Think we don't see through this paradise?
[Chorus]
Fake papers, fake loyalty (What?)
Playing both sides gonna get you buried (Brr)
Fake papers, fake loyalty (Yeah)
Playing both sides gonna get you buried
[Bridge]
I write these words down every single day
Watch them take and take while we fade away
(They don't know, they don't know)
(But we see, yes we see)
[Chorus]
Fake papers, fake loyalty (What?)
Playing both sides gonna get you buried (Brr)
Fake papers, fake loyalty (Yeah)
Playing both sides gonna get you buried
