M.A.T. - Smoke & Mirrors lyrics

[Hook: Matthew] 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 [Verse 1: TreDay] 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 [Hook: Matthew] 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 [Verse 2: TreDay] 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 [Hook: Matthew] 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 [Verse 3: Matthew] 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
