Rakim
You Don’t Fool Me
[Verse 1]
Ra came up with somethin' wicked, dig it
You hear it in the crib and get evicted when I kick it
They'll make a duplicate of it and tell 'em how I flip it
Is it another masterpiece or is it?
Xeroxed, zero, no match, a ditto
A copy machine couldn't reprint my little
Fast literature joy, in case you're unsure
But my metaphor has you thinkin' either or
But I'll always let you now what the outcome will be
So you can understand where I come from, see
MC's interfere but they can't school me
I've seen your work, G, it don't fool me

I said you don't fool me

But you don't fool me

I said you can't fool me

[Verse 2]
People always say, what they wanna do
Things they gotta do, but never get it done
Some front all the props about how many girls they got
But when it all boils down, they get none
Yeah, I know all they really gotta do is get a life
No future in frontin', I hope you see the light
Instead of tryin' to flip, you need to get a grip
Wake up and stop tryin' to sell dreams all night
Slow down and make sense, before you get paid
Or take up a new trade cuz it ain't' cool, G
You say you're all that when you ain't half of that
Give me my ear back 'cause you don't fool me
I said you don't fool me

'Cause you don't fool me

Hey, yo, you can't fool me

That's how it be
