[Intro]

Yeah, uh

I used to look up to these artists that's until I met some of them

Talked to each other on the internet

Just ignoring the competitive edge

I pretend to be so buddy-buddy

But we don't make friends with a threat

We as artists just afraid to fail

No matter how much success that we get

All our confidence is only fan-made

Our compliments are only backhanded

Wanted fame and now we complain about it

Reached our destination but we crash-landed

And we all know about each other

Just never say it to each others face

Exchange numbers like we suddenly tight

Just to go home and call each other fake


[Verse 1]

All of y'all are fake and I can always see right through your little attitude

And all this shit you're hiding in your words

Talking to me like you really wonder how I'm doing

But you wonder what I'm doing 'cause you wanna do it first

Taking every chance you get to look like you're on top of me

But honestly there's nothing you can do to help me out

I don't need a hand, you can put it down

I don't need a dab bitch, I don't need a pound

Yeah I'll be good alone, yeah I'll be safe and sound

I'll be getting paid, I bet that you count

Count on my shows, pretty good amount

When I'm on the tour, I'll be in your town

Fuck your town and fuck you too

But I'ma hit you back, if you hit me up, invite me to your crib

Invite you to the show and I'm probably act like it's all love

"How you doin' bro?

I'm in your town for a show, save my number, it's Toke

Where you at? I heard about the new place

Drop a pin where to go, I'll be there

Damn look at your crib

I'm proud of you, this is goals, this is goals

You puttin' in work and that new track is dope

Oh you know, that one with hook, that one with the flow

Anyway I wanted to say you inspire me bro

I would love to stay, but I gotta go"

Get ready for the show, I leave this crib and think of my own

Man he so fake, the fakest I know, but shit I still hope


[Chorus]

I hope that you're happy for me

You don't have any reason to leave me alone

I hope that you're happy to see me and

Actually try to keep me close

Tell me you love me so passionately

I'm the last to believe it though

I'm the last to believe it though

I'm the last to believe it though

I hope that you're happy for me

You don't have any reason to leave me alone

I hope that you're happy to see me and

Actually try to keep me close

Tell me you love me so passionately

I'm the last to believe it though

I'm the last to believe it though

I'm the last to believe it though


[Verse 2]

Every time you try to sum me, you show me

Just how insecure an artist with success and money can be

With that envy in your words

I'm telling fans that I'm a fan of you

'Cause I know they wanna hear it

But I know who you are in real life

So I hear the bullshit in your lyrics

How many backhanded compliments you gon' give me again

Like "Wow man you actually know what you're talking about

I really had no idea you did"

"Man you so good for your age"

"Oh that was you? I didn't think that was you, that was dope"

I used to look up to you motherfucker, now I think you're a joke

I know how it goes, I know what's the deal

Yesmen around, you pretending that they real

I know how it feel, getting new number

When we hang up we talk shit about each other

Meet the same labels, talk the same shit

Hit the same venues, fuck the same chicks

Post my songs, so I post yours back

I never play that shit, that shit's whack

You don't got my back and I don't got yours either

We acting like we both leaders, but whoever's more poppin' At the moment treat the other one with a colder demeanor

And that's just ego when you getting recognized

But you ain't that famous, half famous

I tell the homies that you're on that fake shit

Even though I do the exact same shit

I'm the same as you, I'm just as fake as you

But I still pretend to be as great as you, shit

I'm the same as you and I'm as afraid as you

'Cause we don't know when our time is done

I'ma probably fall at the same rate as you

We got teams around us, teams around us say we doin' well

But underneath the whole entire surface

All of us are just afraid to fail

All of us complain about the fame

We wanted fame just 'cause of past rejection

Now all we want is some of that acceptance

I accept the compliment

I hope you meant it, I just hope you meant it, man I hope


[Chorus]

I hope that you're happy for me

You don't have any reason to leave me alone

I hope that you're happy to see me and

Actually try to keep me close

Tell me you love me so passionately

I'm the last to believe it though

I'm the last to believe it though

I'm the last to believe it though

I hope that you're happy for me

You don't have any reason to leave me alone

I hope that you're happy to see me and

Actually try to keep me close

Tell me you love me so passionately

I'm the last to believe it though

I'm the last to believe it though

I'm the last to believe it though
