Vanilla Sky

Lying

Cause you don't want to fight, not tonight

So we both keep smiling

And apply gratitude to our lives

Guess we'll both die trying

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Seen a different world up close

Living through a dream, I'm woke

I'm gon' make mistakes, I know

But I'll never ever change my coast

Tell me what I wanna hear

Cause the truth don't feel too good

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Tell it to me nice and clear

So I'm not misunderstood

As I drop my little two cents

I know this just a business that my passion gets confused with

My pimping part of the problem but motherfuck a solution

Make the money in Oxford then probably blow it in Houston

**** paying for pussy but taxing for wack verses

I audit the competition like something done come up missin'

Fingers just started itching, lotion can't really fix it

Throw money at me, I catch it, don't worry 'bout how to pitch it

I'm gifted, but you knew that from the beginning, huh?

Stay missing home, but I'm grown so I'm getting by

Even eating soul food like it's 95'

Feel it's do or die

Cause, the man with the most to offer is often the overlooked

Spent days at the library, now I'm often overbooked

No jukin' inside my movements, but haters is often shook

These women fishing for ballers, but baby, I'm off the hook

Aware of my social status like whites aware of my blackness

Slaving to get a piece, tell master to kiss my ass, it's

Too perfect, avoiding practice

But my OG's told me work, so

I'ma hold it down like I'm drowning

What I'm worth, I put in work

Tell me what I wanna hear

Cause the truth don't feel too good

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Tell it to me nice and clear

So I'm not misunderstood

Sometimes the truth hurts, but I know it make you better

I ain't giving you a lecture, but these words will live forever

Usually I wouldn't rap this, but feel it more than ever

When my fam give me advice, but I just treat it like whatever

I came up coolin', so it's hard to understand me

I'm the type to trade a Grammy for some more time with my family

I'm lyin', L.A. nights, hit the bat like Dodgers might

Moving on up since the flow is dynamite, doing fine

At least that's what you tell me

Sweet the sound of ignorance, ignoring pain to help me

I trust you like my brother though

But love it when the curtains drawn

So keep the truth stuck in its tracks

Unified the smoke and mirrors, fool that monkey on my back

I've been going apeshit for complacence

I became sick when I got ill, hospice where I chill

Get a number to myself, tell me what I wanna hear

Tell me what I wanna hear

Cause the truth don't feel too good

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Tell it to me nice and clear

So I'm not misunderstood
