Alborosie - Act Like You Talk Lyrics

Act Like You Talk
hey heee, yeah
Alborosie Jahneration pon the track
Deh pon the track fi make you rock!
Watch dem!
Huo!
You're claiming the truth but your mouth full a lies, lies lies lies
You better act like you talk, act like you talk now
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 influencial preacher, don't take this as a compliment
You look geniune, but you just a pretender
Brag 'bout your values but you got the wrong behavior
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
Huo!
You're claiming the truth but your mouth full a lies, lies lies lies
You better act like you talk, act like you talk now
Huo!
You preach righteousness, tell the people be wise
Practice what you advertise
You better act like you talk, act like you talk now
You you you you!
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, justa 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
Huo!
You're claiming the truth but your mouth full a lies, lies lies lies
You better act like you talk, act like you talk now
Huo!
You preach righteousness, tell the people be wise
Practice what you advertise
You better act like you talk, 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!
Huo!
You're claiming the truth but your mouth full a lies, lies lies lies
You better act like you talk, act like you talk now
Huo!
You preach righteousness, tell the people be wise
Practice what you advertise
You better act like you talk, act like you talk now
