Lyrics
[INTRO]
Yeah, yeah, uh
They smile in your face, but they ain't really down,
When the lights go dim, they just fade outta town,
Fake friends, fake love, you know the deal,
And even family, man, they just wanna steal.
[VERSE 1]
I was up in the game, they was riding my wave,
Pop bottles and cheers, man, they loved what I gave,
But when the storm hit, it was silent like the grave,
No calls, no texts, like I was stuck in a cage.
They catchin’ the highlights, throwin’ likes like confetti,
But when I needed a hand, they ain't ready, they petty.
Talkin' big when I'm ballin', but ghost when I’m fallin’,
Thought I had real ones, but they was just stallin’.
[CHORUS]
Fake friends in my life, yeah, they come and they go,
Only here for the hype, never there when it's low,
Smile in the light, but they vanish at night,
Thought they were my ride, but they ain't down to fight.
[VERSE 2]
And my family, man, they just care about the name,
More worried 'bout the fame than the guy who’s in pain,
Sent me to watch where the stars don't shine,
But ignored all my troubles, said “Just give it time.”
I’m locked in a cell, they boast ‘bout my past,
Distant relatives act like they’ve lost the cast,
But when the world’s judging, I'm still their blood,
Tryna see the good in me through the mud.
[CHORUS]
Fake friends in my life, yeah, they come and they go,
Only here for the hype, never there when it's low,
Smile in the light, but they vanish at night,
Thought they were my ride, but they ain't down to fight.
[BRIDGE]
Now I see clear, I’m done with the fakes,
No more toxic ties, no more bending my brakes,
Gotta rise from the ashes, gotta work for my fate,
The real ones will shine, let the rest dissipate.
[VERSE 3]
Spent nights in the struggle, they don’t know the tale,
Too busy chasing clouts, I’m chasing my bail,
A heart of gold, but
