FAKE IT
Embrace the Charade: Unveiling the Dark Depths of Deception
Lyrics
(Fake it, fake, fake it)
Expression of pretending or putting on a facade
Yeah, I did it
Acknowledgment of taking a certain action
So what you gon' do
Challenging the listener about their response to the action
Don’t call yourself a victim if you don’t want the abuse
Warning against claiming victimhood without accepting consequences
I'm caught
Caught in a situation
Committed
Committed to a decision or course of action
Incarceration blues
Feeling confined or restricted, possibly by consequences
I never loved nobody the way that I hate you
Expressing intense negative feelings towards someone
I'm a man
Self-identification as a man
Yeah
Repetition of self-identification, possibly emphasizing masculinity
Oh
-I'm a man
-Yeah
-Oh
-Sans
Reference to being without
I'm in it
Involved or engaged in a situation
So what you got to lose
Questioning the consequences of the listener's actions
Don’t call yourself a killer if you don’t want canvas shoes
Caution against claiming to be a killer without accepting the associated consequences
I'm broke
Financially strained or broken
Deficient
Lacking or deficient in something
I’m putting on the blues
Putting on an act of sadness or melancholy
You never pull the trigger 'til it’s something that you do
Advice to refrain from taking serious actions without commitment
I’m a man
Reiteration of self-identification as a man
Yeah
Repetition of self-identification, possibly emphasizing masculinity
Oh
-I'm a man
-Yeah
-Oh
-(Fake it, fake, fake it)
Expression of pretending or putting on a facade
You
Direct addressing, implying boldness
You got a lot of nerve
Accusation of audacity or boldness
Attack my sense of worth
Attacking one's self-worth
Coming for the throne?
Questioning someone's challenge for dominance
I’ve been royal since my birth
Asserting a royal and elevated status
Some people say a king
Various perceptions of the speaker's status
Some people say a god
-The highest ranking office, kicking teeth in is my job
Describing a forceful role or occupation
I’m not about to quit
Determination to persist despite challenges
I’m not about to lose
Determination not to give up
I never loved nobody much as I love the excuse
Expressing a strong attachment to an excuse or justification
(Fake it, fake, fake it)
Expression of pretending or putting on a facade
