[Intro: Pete Rock, Havoc Sample]
I don't fake jax, kid, you know I bring it to you live
One, two, INI's in the place
I don't fake jax, kid, you know I bring it to you live
With the PR, check it out
I don't fake jax, kid, you know I bring it to you live
On the "Fakin' Jax" remix, for the 9-6
I don't fake jax, kid, you know I bring it to you live
INI with the flavor

[Verse 1: Pete Rock, Grap Luva]
Lyrically gifted with the rhyme, in due time will conquer
Many rap styles for all you fake rap crimin-als
The captain of the ship, for the 9-6, we rip
INI and Pete Rock, son (So recognize that shit)
We go on and on, check the lyrics to this song
No jack moves here, dunn, I'm still number one
With your cap to the back, your phony hardcore rap
Specialize in the funk, black, I'm ready to attack

[Verse 2: Grap Luva]
Yeah, enter the minds of young brothers determined
To rid the world of all hip-hop vermin
Extermination courtesy of prodigal sons, collectin' funds
Without the use of handguns, but
Be alarmed, they'll put a chip in your arm
Scenes of a new world make the nut hairs curl, for real
I wanna put the wicked right on they backs
So now is not the time for I to fake the jax

[Chorus: Havoc Sample]
I don't fake jax, kid, you know I bring it to you live
Thirsty for recognition
I don't fake jax, kid, you know I bring it to you live
Thirsty for recognition
I don't fake jax, kid, you know I bring it to you live
Thirsty for recognition
I don't fake jax, kid, you know I bring it to you live
Thirsty for recognition

[Verse 3: Rob-O]
Check it, you thought you'd succeed or progress
Livin' for material things but it's obvious
You go to extremes in the process
Accuse others, when it's you showin' your true colors
Busy selling your dreams, but all your cream
Contributes to your lack of self-esteem
So it would seem, but every day of the week, you act different
Every word that you speak is twisted
Check it, 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?
Politickin', makin' papers
But check it, it didn't work with the fake ass smirk
See, the meek shall inherit the earth, for what it's worth
So turn around 'cause you backwards, you heard what the facts was
You fakin' jax, son, it's like that

[Chorus: Havoc Sample]
I don't fake jax, kid, you know I bring it to you live
Thirsty for recognition
I don't fake jax, kid, you know I bring it to you live
Thirsty for recognition
I don't fake jax, kid, you know I bring it to you live
Thirsty for recognition
I don't fake jax, kid, you know I bring it to you live
Thirsty for recognition

[Verse 4: Ras G]
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, taking tax and perks out the check
So father sweats from working for the next
Just to connect, so man, listen
A comfortable position's what I'm after
So all the while, I'm preparing myself to meet the master
And can't wait for the outcome from moves you made
It seemed very evident, your style was kinda hesitant
Inferior, now you staring at superior
In a fix, in the mix with no tricks
So what now, as I raise the eyebrow
You're beefin' like a cow - you wanna get the know-how?
Well, what's next? Usually the gun pow
And that's far from real because respect's the deal

[Verse 5: Meccalicious]
Hold it down, represent, fuck that
Live your life, get bent
Movement across lands and seas, I seen the evergreen leaves
No grief from everyday footsteps
Rob the heaven sent, get hell back
Got us all near hostile
Actin' wild to civilize in the do or die
Think about who gets torn out the frame like dames
Say it ain't so, Shane, all we lose is the propane
Push the crowd, squeeze the wack
Shattered your thought, chase the line to floor where truth lies
From nights with the get high
Off the talk got my walk down pat
You scared that the world's flat
Degrees, meridians, and equators, perhaps
INI and The Creator, it's just the lapse
In your pattern, however it happened
You'll see me on Saturn before I fake jackson

[Chorus: Havoc Sample]
I don't fake jax, kid, you know I bring it to you live
Thirsty for recognition
I don't fake jax, kid, you know I bring it to you live
Thirsty for recognition
I don't fake jax, kid, you know I bring it to you live
Thirsty for recognition
I don't fake jax, kid, you know I bring it to you live
Thirsty for recognition

[Outro: Havoc Sample]
I don't fake jax
I don't fake jax, thirsty for recognition
I don't fake jax
I don't fake, fake, fake jax
I don't fake jax
I don't fake jax, thirsty for recognition
I don't fake jax
I don't fake, fake, fake jax
