First song and single off of HOSTAGE's side of the Split with 502BEATDOWN. Huge shoutout to Dan Cimino and The Greatest Virtue for the guest appearance and just for being overall genuine guys.

lyrics

I see you fake your smile
You've worn the same one for a while
Despite popular opinion, you look like shit

I know that
You're not my friend so keep your comment to yourself
I'll keep my enemies closer than anybody else

And now you've got me talking smack
Your name's in my mouth when I'm talking trash
You can't say you keep it real when you're just a dick
Come here and swallow the truth, you know you love it
Maybe some day, you'll get it through your skull
You are not as innocent as you think you are
