Q-Tip
Fakin’ Jax
[Intro: Pete Rock, Havoc Sample]
Ain't no time for fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
Check it out, InI's in the house
Rob-O, Grap Luva, Ras, Marco Polo, with the PR
To all you fake ass thugs out there, talkin' about you got this and you got that
And you gon' murder this one and murder that one
Talkin' all that bullshit, I'ma put it to you like this, yo
Check it out

[Verse 1: Pete Rock]
As I commence lyrical content, now bust the grammar
N***as tryin to make flip out like David Banner
Bustin' out the garments slammin' shit like Onyx
When I'm vex I flex and turn green like the chronic
When I bug out you bound to get snuffed out for frontin'
Busy deceivin', achievin' nothin'
If you can't walk the walk, don't talk the talk
It's Pete Rock and InI comin straight from New York
Now all the setups you thought you stepped up to get your rep up
The joke's on you, jack (True dat, word)
'Cause when I came through the door my mind was thinkin' all out war
I'ma settle the score, once and for all
Ain't no time for fakin' jax when it's time for makin' stacks
I'm droppin' bombs like acts in the Bible with my recital
So recline like a passenger seat, son, relax
As I take you to the max, homeboy you fakin ji-dax
[Chorus: Pete Rock with Havoc Sample]
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back

[Verse 2: Rob-O]
Yeah, check it
You never success or progress
Searchin' for peace through material objects
You go to extremes in the process
Accuse others, when it's you showin' your true colors
Busy sellin' your dreams, but all your cream
Contributes to your lack of self-esteem
So it would seem, 'cause every day of the week, you act different
You see your peoples, you speak, your eyes shifted
Frontin' what, son, you love to perform
But when the crowd's gone, word is bond, you get your murk on
Is this the real definition of what a snake is?
Y'all should've been politicians, that's where the cake is, but
It didn't work with the fake ass smirk
See the meek shall inherit the earth, for what it's worth, uh
Turn around, yo, you backwards, you know what the facts is
You fakin' jax, kid
[Chorus: Pete Rock with Havoc Sample]
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back

[Verse 3: Ras G]
Yo blood
You're worth lead if you can't bring home the cake to get the youths fed
We used to harvest now it's work instead
So, to get ahead to hit the nail on the head, it's hard work
'Cause America jerks, takin' tax and perks out the check
So father sweats from workin' for the next
Just to connect, so man listen
A comfortable position's what I'm after
So all the while, I'm preparin' myself to meet the master

[Verse 4: Grap Luva]
Check it, so we suggest you put a F on your chest
A wolf in sheep's clothing's what describes you best
Nevertheless, I roast your ass like chestnuts
I got guts plus cuts from Pete Rock
And it don't stop, the ghetto mass' in your grill
If you lack the will to step up then please chill
On the real, real brothers got each others backs
While all these phony n***as keep on fakin' the jax
It's like that
[Chorus: Pete Rock with Havoc Sample]
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back

[Outro: Havoc Sample]
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
Brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
Brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
Brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
Brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back

Fakin' jax
Fake jax get laid on they back
Ain't no time for fakin' jax, stop fakin' jax
'Cause brothers that fake jax get laid on they back
