Lyrics:
freakin' me out you wear a mask called counterfeit, you're freakin' me out
you wear a mask - 5x
freakin' me out you wear a mask called counterfeit, you're freakin' me out
you wear a...fake
hey man wake up and smell the concrete
strange to see you've changed like the LB
could be identity crisis but I can't buy this
reality bites but that's what life is
pitiful you, your hideous behavior
hate what God gave ya, fakin all the flava
artificial minds seekin out the new trends
get in where you fit in
quit thinkin like a has-been diggin in my culture
let me let your punks know I'm an old school soldier
with the funk flow
a damn shame you wanna change yourself
(chorus)
because you're sick of yourself
well I'm sick of you too, fake
you're a, a counterfeit, fake
you know we figured you out
well I'm sick of you too, fake
you're a, a counterfeit, fake
I wonder, I wonder
I wonder what it's like to be a clone
doin' nothin, nothin' on my own
alone in your misery, you're bitin on my new style
filed as a counterfeit, going down in history as nothin but a copy cat
(copy cat)
so if your fakin that you're phat you need a ballbat
right where your head is at
all your desperation causes separation
now I grab the mic to intimidate
your weakness screams from the limp on your siren
phonies get the hint quick smacked with funk flick
pain for the fakers fame can't maintain
(chorus)
all these phonies
you disregarded your life (disregarded your life)
you disrespected your friends (you disrespected your friends)
you've even stolen your appearance (stolen) from hangin out with my family
but I should have never dropped my guard (shoulda never dropped my guard)
so you could stab me in the back (stab me in the back)
but you were faking me out (you were faking me out)
just faking me out you wear a mask (you wear a mask)
freaking me out you wear a mask called counterfeit, you're freaking me out
you wear a mask called counterfeit - 6x
now you're steadily startin to change
you wanna rearrange your lifestyle with live like the wild child
with the vibe alive you could lie to try and be so fly
a lie but you deny you're a fake
you know we figured you're a phony (fake)
you know we figured you out (fake)
you know we figured you out, figured you out, figured you out
fake [lots of times]
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official LIMP BIZKIT tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
