I ain’t gonna lie
fake nails, fake hair, fake tan, fake *****
the eyebrows and oh wow those teeth.
shaved chest, pumped and preened, just the best
strutting like a peacock, so much better than the rest

Fake people keeping it real
how do they feel?
hyped up on social media
couldn’t be needier
don’t ask me why, I ain’t gonna lie!

The thin veneer, that protective cloak
when no one’s around becomes a joke
is it about what others think or how you feel?
be true to yourself and keep it real.

It’s not all about looks
that shouldn’t be life’s goal
forget the plastic personality
try to develop a role

So, less of the attitude and being crude
put some clothes on, stop being lewd
there’s no need to prove that your tough
enough is enough of this fake stuff

If you can’t keep it real
if you don’t even try
it’s no big deal
but don’t ask me why
because…I ain’t gonna lie!
