Verse One - I once had time on my hands, but now time, Is with this life cycle and the mandatory grind, My sanity's fine, falling short of stamina I'm, Searching for some for thought to feed this famine of mind, And I'm stagnant I rhyme, it helps the night turn to day, I churn my way this nine to five and urban decay, Believe me bleak, and though the city's breaths in its sleep, It's just a paddock, ain't no a shepherds leading these sheep, Now most prefer it covered up lie the truth naked, The truth is ugly like please don't publicly parade it, I it but to escape it would be luck on fluke, I feel like I'm a beat but I'm stuck on loop, But that's my life freedom means everything to me, And face value's got us believing we see, So if our eyes tell us lies the truth is blind, So on walking straight and narrow down illusionary lines.
Verse Two - I once had respect for this game, but now this of respect, Is sold to the highest with some fame and a cheque, Now any layman can get without breaking his neck, Paying dues, time these crews paying some debt, It ain't lights and cameras, on set, Distorting realities in context, no originality concepts, Who gives a about a salary; this ain't a popularity contest, Cos hip hop faking for ends, Hip-hop ain't fading trends, It ain't rich kids playing pens, It the clothes on your back, or the label on them, It's you're at, so I say it again, It's my life cycle; music means everything to me, It's just a fashion show, don't believe everything you see, Cos if our eyes us lies the truth is we're blind, So keep on walking straight and narrow illusionary lines.
Verse - Pressure just my life cycle, nothing matters but setting me free, Because my and hip hop be meaning everything to me, Now face and fashions empower everything we be, Believing we hear, and everything we see, So if our eyes us lies, then we usually find, Our visions by this scutter so the truth is we're blind, It's just poison food for thought for dillusionary minds, So stop walking straight and down illusionary lines.
