Fake It Till You Make It

WHEN MY FRIENDS IN I WERE IN OUR TEENS, CRASHING ALL THE BIGGEST SCENES
HUNGRY HEARTS, FULL OF BEANS, AND ACTING LIKE OLD PROS
WE WERE ALWAYS ON THE BALL, ROWDY ROCK-STAR KNOW-IT-ALLS
WE WERE WAITING FOR THE CALL, NOT SO LONG AGO

WE WERE HEART STOPPIN, EYE POPPIN, BIG SHOTTIN, BAR HOPPIN, 'TUDE COPPIN, NAME DROPPIN

TALKIN THE TALK UNTIL WE LEARNED HOW TO WALK IT
WORKIN THE ROOM UNTIL WE STARTED TO ROCK IT
WHATEVER CAME OUR WAY, WE COULD TAKE IT
WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WE DIDN'T KNOW
WHEN IT'S YOUR TURN TO RIDE YOU CAN'T LET IT SHOW
IF YOU FEEL THE FEAR, YOU BREATHE DEEP AND TRY TO SHAKE IT
JUST FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT

WE SHOWED OUR TEETH WITH EVERY HAND WE SHOOK
WE DRESSED FOR LESS BUT WE HAD THE LOOK
EVERYONE THOUGHT WE WROTE THE BOOK, AND AUTOGRAPHED IT TOO
TO SELL OURSELVES AS "GO TO" GUYS, WE HAD TO TELL SOME BIG WHITE LIES
BUT WE JUST WE LOOKED 'EM IN THE EYES AND THE ONLY THING THEY KNEW, IS

WE WERE EASY GOIN, MIND BLOWIN, ALL KNOWIN, PROFIT SHOWIN, FAST GROWIN, NEVER SLOWIN

TALKIN THE TALK UNTIL WE LEARNED HOW TO WALK IT
WORKIN THE ROOM UNTIL WE STARTED TO ROCK IT
WHATEVER CAME OUR WAY, WE COULD TAKE IT
WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WE DIDN'T KNOW
WHEN IT'S YOUR TURN TO RIDE YOU CAN'T LET IT SHOW
IF YOU FEEL THE FEAR, YOU BREATHE DEEP AND TRY TO SHAKE IT
AND JUST FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT

MY SON I USED TO BE A LOT LIKE YOU UNTIL I GREW INTO MY SHOES
AND THE DAY WILL COME WHEN YOU REALIZE YOU'VE STOPPED...

TALKIN THE TALK 'CAUSE YOU LEARNED HOW TO WALK IT
WORKIN THE ROOM NOW YOU STARTIN TO ROCK IT
WHATEVER COMES YOUR WAY YOU CAN TAKE IT
IT'S LIKE BEING IN THE CHUTE AT THE RODEO
WHEN IT'S YOUR TURN TO RIDE YOU CAN'T LET IT SHOW
IF YOU FEEL THE FEAR, YOU BREATHE DEEP AND TRY TO SHAKE IT
JUST FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT - THAT'S RIGHT - FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT
C'MON NOW - FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT
HIGH IN THE SADDLE ALL HAT AND NO CATTLE
KEEP TALKIN THE TALK TILL YOU LEARN HOW TO WALK - FAKE IT BOY
SHAKE IT - DON'T BREAK IT
