Mentality Lyrics by Rimi

West Coasta Nostra

2019

[Chorus]
Either we ride or we die tryna make it
Feeling all this pressure life brings, we just take it
All this a facade, man I pray we don’t break it
Fake it till we make it, fake it till we make it

[Verse 1]
Tell me if I’m real if I’ve been real bout being fake
The image that they want is just a picture I can’t take
They love me then they hate me, it’s a feeling I can’t shake
And man, I just know too many people that relate
Gold plated all over my cubans and my links
Encrusted with these cubics that I wear to make you think
So focused on the shine to spare a second just to blink
Head above the water, hoping that I never sink
I let them think I’m on a brink to make waves
When I sing, I gain praise
For my skills my grace when I grace the stage
And now my bracelets and chains rocking 18K's
On the quest to gain fame while my hunger pains
I gotta tell them what’s real when I rap for them
Give them something to feel so it’s nots boring
I gotta kill when I’m ill on this platform
Give them all I got, no turning back, so

[Chorus]
Either we ride or we die tryna make it
Feeling all this pressure life brings, we just take it
All this a facade, man I pray we don’t break it
Fake it till we make it, fake it till we make it

[Refrain]
And I’ma play my part
I’ma play my part, and I’ma play my part
Fake it till we make it, fake it till we make it
And I’ma play my part
I’ma play my part, and I’ma play my part
Fake it till we make it, fake it till we make it

[Verse 2]
Tell me if I’m real if I’ve been real bout wanting more
Even though I got a lot of shit I call my own
Even though I know it in myself that I’ve been on
I need that validation ‘til I’m sat up in my throne
I’m asking for acceptance if they think I don’t belong
I’m asking for repentance, I’ve been tryna write my wrongs
But yet I know that ain’t no man thats perfect when they’re born
So, with that said, if y’all don’t like me, then it’s fuck y’all, all y’all
Whoever talking down when speaking on my name
High school motherfuckers always got some shit to say
I’m looking back and laughing 'cause you see I’m getting plays
You the one thats getting played, I’m just a baller all up in the game
I gotta give them a thrill when I rap the flows
I gotta kill when I’m ill when they rap my songs
I gotta stand up and kill when my backs to walls
Give them all I got, no turning back, so

[Chorus]
Either we ride or we die tryna make it
Feeling all this pressure life brings, we just take it
All this a facade, man I pray we don’t break it
Fake it till we make it, fake it till we make it

[Refrain]
And I’ma play my part
I’ma play my part, and I’ma play my part
Fake it till we make it, fake it till we make it
And I’ma play my part
I’ma play my part, and I’ma play my part
Fake it till we make it, fake it till we make it

[Bridge]
Tell me who realer than me, who more appealing than me
Y’all catch a feel for a fee, but never feel it so deep
I’m like the code or the key, I’m of the highest decree
I got no time to sit aside and watch another emcee
Tell me who realer than me, who more appealing than me
Y’all catch a feel for a fee, but never feel it so deep
I’m like the code or the key, I’m of the highest decree
I got no time to sit aside and watch another emcee

[Chorus]
Either we ride or we die tryna make it
Feeling all this pressure life brings, we just take it
All this a facade, man I pray we don’t break it
Fake it till we make it, fake it till we make it

[Refrain]
And I’ma play my part
I’ma play my part, and I’ma play my part
Fake it till we make it, fake it till we make it
And I’ma play my part
I’ma play my part, and I’ma play my part
Fake it till we make it, fake it till we make it
