[Intro - fading in with a heavy 808 beat] Yo, check the mic, one two, yeah, this one's for you All the fibbers, the fakers, the ones who ain't true Got a story for everythin', a different disguise But the truth always surfaces, right before your eyes (Verse 1) Why you always lyin'? Mmm oh my god Always lyin', even 'bout the things you already got Frontin' like a millionaire, ridin' 'round in a bus Claimin' you're a VIP, when you ain't nothin' but us Told me 'bout your mansion, the pool and the view But I saw you walkin' home, in shoes lookin' chewed Said you're jet-settin' 'round the world, livin' life in the fast lane But your Instagram's just selfies, lookin' kinda plain Why you always lyin'? Mmm oh my god Just keep it real, man, it ain't that hard (Chorus) Why you always lyin'? Why you always lyin'? Tellin' tall tales, while the truth is slowly dyin' Why you always lyin'? Why you always lyin'? Gotta build yourself up, by constantly denying (Verse 2) Remember that story 'bout the celebrity you met? Said you shared a limo, and he signed your cassette But I saw him later, and he looked real confused When I mentioned your name, he just looked amused Told me 'bout your muscles, how you lift every day But your arms look kinda skinny, in a peculiar way Said you're a black belt, could take down ten men But I saw you run from a pigeon, 'round the bend Why you always lyin'? Mmm oh my god Just be yourself, man, it ain't that odd (Chorus) Why you always lyin'? Why you always lyin'? Tellin' tall tales, while the truth is slowly dyin' Why you always lyin'? Why you always lyin'? Gotta build yourself up, by constantly denying [Bridge - beat slows down, more melodic] I'm not tryin' to hate, I'm just speakin' my mind It's kinda sad, what you're tryin' to find Is it validation? A desperate plea? To be somethin' you're not, for all the world to see? [Verse 3 - beat picks back up] But the truth always comes out, it's a matter of time Your web of deceit, starts to unravel and climb And when it all collapses, where you gonna go? Back to reality, the seeds you did sow So next time you're thinkin' 'bout stretchin' the truth Remember this song, and consider the youth Who might believe you, and follow your lead Plantin' false narratives, a poisonous seed Why you always lyin'? Mmm oh my god Just be real, man, it ain't that hard (Chorus) Why you always lyin'? Why you always lyin'? Tellin' tall tales, while the truth is slowly dyin' Why you always lyin'? Why you always lyin'? Gotta build yourself up, by constantly denying [Outro - beat fades out with a final "Why you always lyin'?"]
