Lyrics Smoke & Mirrors - M.A.T.

Smoke & Mirrors

Man here we go once again
And I gotta watch out for the foes and friends
You never know in the end
Will they be there or gone with the wind
Is it any wonder hey
I got something else to say
I got so more I gotta prove
So much more we gotta do
So much more you gotta see
So much more that you could be
Still don’t feel the love but I rep my town so faithfully
Can’t feed you food for thought
If you ain’t hungry and you hate to eat
Starving like I’m Marvin
26 I’m going A to Z
Can’t you see
If you don’t I could give a damn about ya
Knew you couldn’t swim
So called friends is gonna drown with out ya
And when you’re good they still come around
And when you’re doing bad you don’t even hear a sound
But in your heart you love them anyway
But in your mind the times and all the signs
Is always telling you to get away
Man here we go once again
And I gotta watch out for the foes and friends
You never know in the end
Will they be there or gone with the wind
We’re the realist out now because it’s something you can understand
Ain’t got a tattoo so I’m different from your other man
Why be like everybody else looking the same
I could get what you got but you can’t look like me man
Simple and plain but maybe it’s just simply insane
I put the peddle to the metal til I empty the tank
I see these politicians only wanna empty the bank
Til you’re broke with no hope ain’t that a reason to change
You left your keys at the house and now you’re leaving your brain
I’m so cold with the flow ain’t that a reason to bang
But never mind cause in time you gonna witness the magic
I just hope I get to see it before I’m put in a casket
Man here we go once again
And I gotta watch out for the foes and friends
You never know in the end
Will they be there or gone with the wind
Now what’s real and what’s fake
I tell you how I feel so you can relate
And on the outside it seems like everything is golden
But really rappers today are wolves in sheep’s clothing
Rapping bout things most people don’t have
Like that makes them better than us and it makes me so mad
Cause there’s so much going on in the world
That you could talk about
Instead you rather brag a lot and rap about your bank account
And then a bunch of kids wanna be you
Not knowing that all your music is something I see through
To the point that I could listen to your songs
And still not know anything about you
That’s why I doubt you make music that’s timeless
Or have the listener rewind it and not because of a punchline
But because of one line that opened up their minds
For the times when they thought about giving up or dying
Cause crying didn’t seem to ease the pain
And I represent every seed that didn’t get to be named
Now watch me let this ink pen bleed through my veins
Knowing that we’ll never be here again
That gives me more motivation for creating
While you were asleep I was wide awake and
Writing my thoughts on a piece of paper
So you could listen to these vibrations
At this moment in time man my hearts racing
Cause every other single day
I’m trying to just get away
I got a lot up on my mind but still somehow I maintain
Why they gotta pimp the game
For fifteen minutes of fame
Until there’s nothing left for anybody to claim
So I stop and just breathe
Now peep game before I leave
I’m in a league where everybody says ain’t nobody realer
But if you ask me it’s just smoke and mirrors
