Jahneration - Act Like You Talk (Feat. Alboroise)
You’re claiming the truth but your mouth full a lies, lies, lies, lies
You better act like you talk, a-a-act like you talk now
Act like you talk now, murder!
Hypocrites and liars we a bun dem down
Dem dress up inna disguise when dem roam around
In public you’re a star and what you say astound
But your friends know you’re phony and you’re just a clown
You two-face like Havey Dent, gwaan like yuh so confident
An influential preacher, don’t take this as a compliment
You look genuine, but you just a pretender
Brag bout your values but you got the wrong behaviour
Whether you a politician, a successful businessman
So many principles yet so likkle achievement
Unnu betta show suspicion, lying is a tradition
Hiding the truth is so much more convenient, hey
You’re claiming the truth but your mouth full a lies, lies, lies, lies
You better act like you talk, a-a-act like you talk now
You preach righteousness, tell the people be wise, practice what you advertise
You better act like you talk, a-a-act like you talk now
Act like you talk now!
You betta act like yuh talk, watch the steps weh you walk
Say your dogs dem a bark, weh you know bout the dark
Neva bad from the start, just a youth with good heart
But society at fault, so you choose the wrong part
Tribulation there is no safe zone
Some feel the beat but they never hear the sound
In too deep, six feet you a go dung
Jahneration, Alborosie a hold the crown
You’re claiming the truth but your mouth full a lies, lies, lies, lies
You better act like you talk, a-a-act like you talk now
You preach righteousness, tell the people be wise, practice what you advertise
You better act like you talk, a-a-act like you talk now
Act like you talk now!
Bag a lies you tellin to your friends and family
You are not the man the people say you used to be
Everyday you’re getting closer to the cemetery
Endin up in a grave’s gonna be your salary
Stop fooling us!
Nowadays you’re seen as the man no one cyan trust
Change your position or dem go make you bite di dust
Seek fi di truth if you no want a gun fi buss
Ah no every hope lost!
Raise another banner
Your reputation is know from Paris to Ghana
Truth a keep you safe like a talisman
Clean up your dirty mind and avoid the drama
P-p-paw paw paw!
You’re claiming the truth but your mouth full a lies, lies, lies, lies
You better act like you talk, a-a-act like you talk now
You preach righteousness, tell the people be wise, practice what you advertise
You better act like you talk, a-a-act like you talk now
Act like you talk, a-a-act like you talk!
