Fake

Been 20 years, but I can still hear her

Mama putting on Maybelline in the mirror

Saying girl I see you watching me

All these potions all these creams

But when you take it off at night

You gotta like what you see

Be genuine as leather

Upstanding as an old oak tree

Be honest as that homemade wine makes you wanna be

Don't do it for the status

Or say you love something you hate

Let your extensions and eyelashes

Be the only thing about you that's fake

Make your bed, make your mind up, make your music

Integrity's hard to find once you lose it

Copycats and counterfeits

Both been known to make you rich

But you'll regret every step you walked in shoes that don't fit

Be genuine as leather

Upstanding as an old oak tree

Be honest as that homemade wine makes you wanna be

Don't do it for the status

Or say you love something you hate

Let your extensions and eyelashes

Be the only thing about you that's fake

I wanna be loved, wanna be liked

Wanna sell out every single night

Wanna catch up to every dream

But how I get there

Matters to me

Genuine as leather

Upstanding as an old oak tree

Honest as that homemade wine makes you wanna be

Don't do it for the status

Or say you love something you hate

Let your extensions and eyelashes

Be the only thing about you that's fake
