Everybody Knows (feat. Vivian Green)

Everybody knows the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That's how it goes Everybody knows I see what you're tryna be Lie to everybody else, you can't lie to me I know some things are probably better kept privately But today I got time, got time for me? I don't hear your lips moving but my eyes can see It's so hard for you to disguise the lies, deceit But honestly, this is my time to speak Took my kindness for weakness? Shit, fine with me Got, skeletons in my closet I'ma break em out Every time I give an inch you just take a mile Miss me with your fake daps and your faker smiles Congratulations, shows over, take a bow Never thought that I would say aloud what I'm saying now So let's put it on the table I'ma lay it out And keep it real, while you keep it fake with me I keep my lips sealed so your secret's safe with me But Everybody knows the boat is leaking Everybody knows the captain lied Everybody got this broken feeling Like their father or their dog just died Everybody talking to their pockets Everybody wants a box of chocolate And a long-stemmed rose Everybody knows Remember? We were like best friends Way back when, we were like freshman And my feelings never wavered I consider you my dog to this day but you treat me like less than Just a whole different energy New personality, whole new identity Let's put the ego and bravado aside I'll swallow my pride I can't keep this bottled inside So here goes (Goes) As the years go by (By) I keep thinking bout the days we was like brothers (Now) We appear foes (Foes), I don't know why (Why) We were supposed to take flight like the Wright Brothers Right brother? You were my keeper too I guess things change, so do people too But you can't blame people for what people do Cause Everybody knows Everybody knows Everybody knows That's how it goes Everybody knows Nobody gotta know that the only one that you care about is yourself cause you selfish Nobody gotta know, I ain't gonna air you out I did everything to help cause I'm selfless Nobody gotta know you fronting Shut don't worry bout it bro you don't owe me nothing And I'm talking bout who? If the shoe fits, wear it And everybody knows that you're in trouble Everybody knows what you've been through From the bloody cross on top of Calvary To the beach if Malibu Everybody knows it's coming apart Take one last look at this sacred heart Before it blows Everybody knows
