"Fake" lyrics

"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
