Ice-t - The Illusion of Power lyrics

What is it that turns you on to the illusion of power This thing that grabs you by the heart and makes you want to tear things down There is no reason why I should need all this power, but if you cross me now I'm gonna tear your whole world down The illusion of power, things I feel, seem so real The illusion of power I can' get the emotional thing straight in my head Everything I love dies to soon, or is already dead Don't stand too close I spit and breath fire Anything I've got now you cannot desire You want to be my friend I promise you nothing Nothing I can give you, nothing I can do for you I'm being chased by the sins of my past and it's k**ing me now k**ing me now The illusion of power, things I feel, seem so real The illusion of power The illusion of power, it's already set signed and sealed The illusion of power Powerful...who are you fooling? You're caught in a complex cataclysm of your own inadequacies And pitiful weaknesses Your souls secretes insecurity So you live on the reflection side of the mirror You're terrified of true power...you fear me... I can tell you stories of my Shaded past and I can Drag you down into the Depths of my soul The illusion of power, things I feel, seem so real The illusion of power The illusion of power, it's already set signed and sealed The illusion of power Why don't you come closer, Promise a story I will tell, yeah I'll save you from your dreams, yeah I'll save you from your dreams
