Lyrics For the Camera - The Procussions

For the Camera

Composing raps like dropping notes in a prayer box
In hopes we wrote a track that might evoke a new way of thought
Focusing on where you are noticing days are numbered here
Folks are chasing starts while they throw away their wonder years
Its savage the way we have kids kneeling to actors
The tragedy is half of this kids don’t feel attractive
And the media is trapping us while feeding us fashion tips
If sex where the truth I swear this magazines be abstinent
I’ve yet to see an add were men haven’t been tampering
Their airbrush and magic pen turning women to manikins
We preferring the hands of men over the hands of God
Understand you’re beautiful with or without those cameras on
Quick a photo op click the photo shop
You fit the picture and the logo now you know It’s hot
Is what they saying when their making the cash
And got the whole world smiling while we wait for the flash
Your so beautiful, your so lovely
It’s for the camera click
Your so incredible, so artificial but
It’s for the camera shoot
You look amazing, so unbelievable
It’s for the camera click
So unforgettable, so unreal but
It’s for the camera shoot
Your so beautiful, your so lovely
It’s for the camera click
Your so incredible, so artificial but
It’s for the camera shoot
You look amazing, so unbelievable
It’s for the camera click
So unforgettable, so unreal but
It’s for the camera shoot
Nobody ever asked you to dance right
Your prom night photo made you order a pill to make you eat light
Petite slim weighted women you wanna sound like
It’s all hype filling your body in heavy sound bytes
Don’t get me wrong if it means to motivate you
Just determine if the image is real or if it’s sort of fake
We outta make em tell em the truth
From what the camera shoots
And use the negetives for evidence providing the proof
Funny how that little chip on your tooth
Can be removed without a dentist just a chip inside your pentium fluke
Alert the king because there’s thieves on the roof
Hold your watches and your money cause they after the youth
Study hall is like a video shoot, you can’t tell
If the girl in the front of the class is age twelve or twenty four
Your child is in grown folks clothes
And you wonder why they striking a pose
