Knockoff Lyrics
[Verse]
I don't want no
Want no knockoff
Want that real shit
Real authentic
I don't want no
Want no fake love
Want that real shit
Real authentic (Authentic)
[Pre-Chorus]
What is it, boy? Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Trailer park or real estate?
I can't take no more mistakes
Polyester hurts my skin
Tell me what you'd wrap me in
Synthetic or genuine?
[Chorus]
I want the real thing
Baby, you look to me like you're the real thing
I wanna know
Am I dreamin'?
How you gonna prove to me that you're the real thing?
I wanna know
[Verse]
I don't want no (Don't want no)
Want no knockoff (No knockoff)

I lay it bare for you to steal
