Shihan - Flashy Words lyrics

Flashy words make the world turn but it don't turn right [x2] So I use these real eyes to realize the real lies being spoken but not heard cause We are more fascinated by that which are fabricated The iconoclastic tactless tactician aims tongues spits truth Words like wrecking balls bounce off brains cause nobody likes to hear what's going on these days It's like, the truth hurts And we've been lied to A bunch of hollowed minds living on borrowed times And nobody likes to hear that and Nobody likes to say it either Cause lazy angels never carry their wings and Wingless words do nothing but keep us down So this New York poet yells, "There is no satisfaction in knowing that your life is one of the saddest fictions ever written" So take your not so satisfactory life back to the sadness factory to Be reworked and Be rewritten and Be reconfigured to live right Open your brain Let your heart go The real you has been locked within your rib cage too long And stop trying to hold onto then because that's why it all started And about that same time he forgot fun She lost hope And now we can't find anything And I swear to God if I could swear to God I'd ask her, what the f** was She thinking when she gave us free will Because we done f**ed things up Cause kids don't play And God don't pray cause it's Out of Her hands now See I've rewritten the Bible After getting over the primal rage of finding my name disguised within a Bible's page And people trying to dissect my destiny will find that Words somehow make the world turn but it really doesn't turn right And suddenly the world stops spinning cause words weren't good enough So I tell you a blind man once told me the true meaning of love at first sight So I closed my eyes and I recited this poem To an audience of one and found total gratification and my undivided attention And when I opened my eyes, I found myself standing before a mirror Staring into the eyes of an invisible man Until my pupils became pupils and I could teach myself to live a better life Words Words From a piece of mind brings peace of mind All I gotta do is give a piece of mine? The words piece together the pieces in me to create peace within me But sh** they are all pieces Pieces to a puzzle when it's put together is me So let me tell you something Don't ever do anything you're not supposed to And speak only when spoken to And don't speak unless you mean Cause a good man is hard to find And a hard man is good to find And I'm half the man I used to be And 1/4 the person I should be or could be Cause I sacrificed freedom for stardom After being f**ed out of my freedom without a condom Now how dumb was I? Words Break these words down to the syllables they are Or the silly bulls they represent And what do I represent? Well it's hard to say when my rep resents the fact that I have to question myself Or each time that question represents itself I can, therefore I am and Stick and stones may break your bones But words will always teach you.
