Let me show you how to fake it, how to play the role Pretend you’re in control, while you’re deep in a hole Let me show you how to strut, like you own the street With empty pockets and shoes without feet I could show you how to fake the stance With a borrowed watch and stolen pants I could show you how to talk the talk Tho your credits shot and your bills all balk I could show you how to flex with fools gold chain TikTok that it’s all champagne but it’s just acid rain I could show you how to bluff, like your living large While your car’s on the tow and your credits in charge I could show you how to fake the flair Using knock-off brands and an empty lair I could show you how to pose the pose Tho your debts all rise but your ego grows Living on borrowed time and someones dime But as long as you shine, your feeling fine Thru crazy dreams and endless schemes It always seems you’re living the dream So let me show you how to be the sham Just fake it till you make it, or reality make you scram Let me show you how to be the man World of smoke and mirrors, just pretend you can
