Explaining career gap due to firing

How to explain 6-7 months of gap in resume to recruiter/hiring manager/interviewer if you were fired from earlier company due to performance related reasons? The reason I am asking this is, what if you lied about being unemployed and they found out in background check after clearing the interviews. Thanks! #swe #software #engineering #career
