[Intro]
Yeah
Cold world
Cold hearts
Watch who you trust
[Verse 1]
I was raised where the sirens sing
Cardboard hoop and a torn-up ring
Mama in the kitchen with a worried face
Uncle in the alley with a murder case
Hand-me-down shoes, had to run from the block
Learned math first countin' lil' stones in a sock
Everybody say "fam" when the cash come out
Same ones vanish when the stash run out
Seen fake love in a tight embrace
Smile on lips, hate all over they face
"Ride or die" till the ride get hot
Soon as steel flash, man they slide off the lot (skrrt)
[Chorus]
Fake love, I can feel it in the handshake
Say "bro" but they pray that my bands break
Grew up in the ghetto, turned cold in the shadow
Had to cut a couple ties just to stand straight
Fake love, I can see it in they sad eyes
Hug me while they hopin' that the bag dry
Came from where the guns talk, kids learn fast
Only thing real 'round here is the land mines
[Verse 2]
Fast life, had to rap fast just to breathe
Talk quick, think quick, blood on my sleeve
Roaches in the cereal, dreams in the ceiling
Young boy numb, started likin' that feelin'
OG said, "Lil man, trust your gut"
Then he stole from the safe when the door got shut
Pastor at the church talk "faith, stay pure"
Next week caught him with the rent from the poor
So I keep my circle like a wedding ring
Tiny, tight, I don't let in everything
If you wasn't there when the lights went black
You don't get a plate when the feast come back (nah)
[Chorus]
Fake love, I can feel it in the handshake
Say "bro" but they pray that my bands break
Grew up in the ghetto, turned cold in the shadow
Had to cut a couple ties just to stand straight
Fake love, I can see it in they sad eyes
Hug me while they hopin' that the bag dry
Came from where the guns talk, kids learn fast
Only thing real 'round here is the land mines (boom)
