Of Montreal - This World is Just an Illusion lyrics
"It's just different" [Verse 1] The rhythm is a gift not all are born with So when I rap with the unique technique it's a natural knack I'm finna jack back with a backpack And a microphone from the Mayans And I might just hand it to Any n***a that can spit uncanny too I come raw now they over-processed and mechanical This flood of knowledge, will short circuit and damage you I just do it for the joy then rejoice like a tuscan, with a seed in a crunch time Then I jump back with a can of 2 Glocks and a tomb for Any wack cat taking bites out my ca**erole I'm tryna build my castle, too, large for ya avenue Cause I'm hyped like the eve of Eid in the capital of Iran With the Taliban bout to conquer you I know that's wicked but I'm so, peaceful with the essence dude Enough verbal sk** to, choke up Hitler and free every Jew, this Soft spoken like a kiss to the cheek but that's no fake love like Judas They eradicate truth like, Jedis They about to find out that they slept on the smoothest So this smooth talk, could Try to sleep with hip-hop but the realist female gon' see right through it But I could leave ya in bed reminiscing ‘bout my mic and a knife tied to it Hold up that's too ruthless I gotta regret never revenge and forgive like a Buddhist This money keep callin' but it don't leave a message So I guess you can even cop me bootleg! [Hook] My mother lacks the faith in me I think that's craziness to me Don't know what rappin' means to me This life is just a big dream So when you wake and you'll see You'll know exactly what I mean So don't you fear d**h this world is just an illusion My father don't know what to think Maybe should go and see a shrink But this is place of my birth Surly someday I will return Only this time accountable Only this time accountable So don't you fear d**h this world is just an illusion [Verse 2] My broken ideas were startin' to go to waste then Somethin' snapped and I'm feelin' as surge of synapses inside my brain These words startin' to flow and correlate and I'm finally Awake From Hibernation Don't think I was in a slump this is the end of the hunch So my breakthrough moves closer Than children glued to the TV during the Super Bowl or Tensions on West Bank border Rich kid could never afford the pain k**ers to heal forgotten lines That's a break up with my rhymes like sediments No sentiments when I rap you are all my brethren And I'm here to represent the whole globe My slobber will flow from Cincinnati Cross seas to the mountains of Paki where the white man breeds terrorist These drone blasts are amounting to d**h you ain't counting America showed me how to spit terror and tear up the track Let my voice carry their revenge on the back of elephants You elementary with rhymes while I penetrate times like John Lennon on Letterman My name can't even get me past airport security But my verse is, fly enough to end all the scrutiny I lift off and I'm, sly enough to Sneak past the gates of heaven ‘cause that's where the cure should be But the peace makers will never make it so they won't let us in They judgin' the contents in my heart by the concentration of melanin in my skin Then they ask me “Haas why you mellow then?” I tell ‘em I see these humans that, fell apart ‘cause you brainwash infants In a world of dark and light that you set us in Your crooked incentives are not the medicine My voice is, adrenaline for beliefs you entice If not applied to life your whole world is irrelevant [Hook] [Inception Excerpt] The dream has become their reality Who are you to say otherwise sir?
