False Pretender

A good father is better than pocket money
But some people can get real funny

I lift my hand unto Jah and I swear I'll never forget my friends them
Good liveth in the Prezident heart my idren and sistren
Now the song it is food for thought so listen
To the words I'm chanting
Some people come around when things a galong
Just to distress the program

Chorus:
False pretenderhop off my fender
I see it in your face it's something you come for

You never know me when me down and out
You used to laugh and run off you mouth
But all the labba labba could not get me out
Critics make me strong, build my program
Write more lyrics and I make more songs
No come distress my foundation

Chorus

If you want to know your friends, just pretend like you're dead
And you hear how much remarks pass over your head
If you want to know your friends again pretend like you're drunk
And you will hear how much of them start to call you punk
In the time of prosperity the friends are always plenty
But in the time of necessity me brethren
Not even one out of twenty
