I'm not fake like them
They're like, "Fake like when?"
When I wake up then
I see a fake like them
I'm not fake like them
They're like, "Fake like when?"
When I wake up then
I see a fake like them

Cut my losses, ball and chain
I don't want no fakes speaking my name
You ain't gang, we ain't the same
Step away, step away, don't play this game

In the street, in the street
I keep the peace all day
You ain't real, don't come this way
In the street, in the street
Won't you keep the peace for me?
You ain't gang, don't come this way

There's levels to the rebels
And I'm good with a little trouble
But I'm done with you, throwing the pebbles
Better run with the tiger
And you better be a rider
Ain't nothing 'bout my life is subtle

Cut my losses, ball and chain
I don't want no fakes speaking my name
You ain't gang, we ain't the same
Step away, step away, don't play this game

In the street, in the street
I keep the peace all day
You ain't real, don't come this way
In the street, in the street
Won't you keep the peace for me?
You ain't gang, don't come this way

There's lessons in the struggle
Sometimes I think I love all
You're just going where there is trouble
You can meet me in the middle
Set up for a model
That brings us to the bridge of this battle
'Cause you're fighting in a place that's already won
I'm not gonna ask you where you got your gun
You're hiding in a place that's already found
Hope you'll realize this fakeness don't count

In the street, in the street
I keep the peace all day
You ain't real, don't come this way
In the street, in the street
Won't you keep the peace for me?
You ain't gang, don't come this way

No mistake, make no mistake
When you see me make no mistake
Namaste, make no mistake
(?) for us to break
