K-Rino - Phony lyrics

rate me

Don't ever misinterpret me, I'm glad to be alive G

I put two and two together though and keep coming up with three

It hard to rest when you see the evil some people possess

Just multiply stress, my depression's even depressed

Countless times I extended a hand to help a friend in need

Only to misread 'cause for me the same wasn't received

You called me when you was flat broke and wanted K hook a loan up

When I said, "Cool", he was at my house before I could hang the phone up

See, I'll break bread and feed ya, these days homies'll bleed ya

Their procedure: borrow money and get selective amnesia

You try to give 'em time but that seems to be worthless

Knowing he owe you coming around showing you things he just purchased

Then they start ducking your calls, you know how you can tell

'Cause all you get is half a ring and then it's straight to the voice mail

So, what the Hell, I guess I gots to leave these cats alone

Another friendship dead and gone over a couple of hundred bones

People so phony, phony

I feel like it's me and God only, only, only, only

I can't let it phase me, phase me

I'm trying hard to keep from going crazy

What? To keep from going crazy

When I detect a suspected lie, it's hard to let it slide

An artificial female friend milking your sympathetic side

Money I would give, not lend, was down with her to the end

Not from a tricking standpoint, I just considered her a friend

Kind of mad I didn't control this, never fathomed she would go this low

But now I'm tripping over this repeat pattern that I noticed

Like clockwork, an hour after every time she leave

She be like, "Baby, I need some money, can you help me please? "

And I'm like, "OK, might pay a bill or help her knock the rent off"

Every time she came around my gold-digger alarm went off

But when I needed help and asked for it the game flipped

She had more excuses than the pipe burns on a crackhead's lips

And it's a trip, 'cause when it's time to show me they my homie, they don't

And if I need them to do something for me, they won't

So now it's all about me, one syllable

And artificial people get cut loose like umbilical

People so phony, phony

I feel like it's me and God only, only, only, only

I can't let it phase me, phase me

I'm trying hard to keep from going crazy

What? To keep from going crazy

The doctor checked me out and wrote me a prescription with the quickness

But the side effects of the medicine were worse than the sickness

See I sacrificed for others but the same love didn't follow

I wish I had a dollar for every time that I wished I had a dollar

I regret sometimes not having a biological seed

Any time that it was ever proposed to me I disagreed

If they persisted to insisted, I just packed up and I slid

Too many of my partners paying child support, "Arr Hell no, not the kid"

But if I did, maybe hope would seem more realistic

To be gifted with a reflection of my own characteristics

'Cause most people are senseless, self centred and pretentious

Any show of love is meant to benefit their own interest

My eyes are now trained to spot game when it arises

The wisest people learn how to see through those disguises

'Cause fakers show more fiction or more depictions than HBO

Fraud to real is a ninety-nine to one ratio

People so phony, phony

I feel like it's me and God only, only, only, only

I can't let it phase me, phase me

I'm trying hard to keep from going crazy

What? To keep from going crazy
