Lyrics
[verse]
You talk a big game but I never see you move
Every time it's real, you're the first one in retreat
Claim you run the block but I don't see you on the street
Claim you got the connects but you're always short and beat
I've been through the fire, walked away with all the scars
You've been through the mirror, practicing your pose for cars
Everybody laughing when you turn your back and leave
Save the talk for someone dumb enough to still believe
[chorus]
You ain't what you claiming, everybody sees it clear
Talking all that static but you disappear when it's near
You ain't what you claiming, save it for the camera crew
'Cause everybody on the block already know the real from you
[verse]
Used to run with dreamers who could back it with the work
Now it's all a costume, all a mask, all a smirk
I don't need to shout it, my resume speaks alone
While you're renting reputations you could never call your own
Keep the crown you borrowed, keep the chain you never earned
One day karma comes around, everybody's story's turned
I'll be right here steady when the smoke clears from the game
Standing on the truth while you're still chasing at the fame
[chorus]
You ain't what you claiming, everybody sees it clear
Talking all that static but you disappear when it's near
You ain't what you claiming, save it for the camera crew
'Cause everybody on the block already know the real from you
[bridge]
Every block's got a story, every story's got a name
Some of us are building it, some just borrow the flame
Time will tell the difference, time always shows the truth
Standing tall past forty while you fade out of your youth
[chorus]
You ain't what you claiming, everybody sees it clear
Talking all that static but you disappear when it's near
You ain't what you claiming, save it for the camera crew
'Cause everybody on the block already know the real from you
