Smoke & Mirrors ft. Sy Ari da Kid Lyrics

You thought you had us, you thought you had us, but not so fast

Okay, okay, I see what's going on Niggas claim they woke, but who gon' ring

the alarm

Who gon' let my people know it's all smoke and mirrors

I'm tryna paint a picture, hope that you see it clearer

They playin' with our dollar bills, but really, is a dollar real

Take that shit from most of you niggas, you would know how to feel

I got connected with perspective, then I learned a lesson

My regression was always part of progressin' So even if it all went south, know my direction

Everything that I'm blessed with was everything that I'm left with

The world's reset and I see they changin' the metrics

I was tryna figure out these strategies to exit

So playin' with my time and my money, it's like a death wish

Tryna help my niggas off of the field, nobody left wish

How do you keep a code of ethics

Niggas ain't got metrics They gon' tell you anything to knock you off

your spot

Guess that's just a human thing or something, nah, I'm not

I like my money like a fade, don't take nothin' off the top

Movin' off my instinct, all my niggas instinct This rinse and wash cycle, they got us in

can't repeat

I'm been prayin' to the Lord, movin' on one accord

I hate to take my time, but I ain't really have a choice

Niggas screamin' they successful and losin' they voice

And seein' how you niggas move, I'm really annoyed

Cause my niggas always told me real niggas don't win the wars

Niggas playin' with my time, it's somethin' I can't afford

Somethin' I can't ignore, it's about pushin' my dreams forward

They say they want a battle, but really we want it war

Now what you know about a real boss

So much money, I tip the waitress more than a meal cost

And peel off, claimin' he a real street nigga, but he still soft

My nigga'll put a hole in one, he play a little golf

Homie just caught lung cancer, he got a little cough

Downloaded the Waze app and still feel lost

The judge givin' out plea deals, and he still fought

I tried to get a moment of silence, and they still talk

Regardless if I cop ten cars, I might still walk

I don't give a fuck what you sign, cause if you stuntin' in line

And ain't a brother of mine, the whole deal's off

Niggas got too many ops, man turn that drill off

No this ain't a verse that I wrote, it's just real thoughts

My cougar paid a few of my bills, she a real aunt

Now tell me how I feel boss, when they take you to the

Part of the bank, where they usually keep the steel vault

I been prayin' to the Lord, movin' on one accord

I hate to take my time, but I ain't really have a choice

Niggas screamin' they successful and losin' they voice

And seein' how you niggas move, I'm really annoyd

Cause my niggas always told me real niggas don't win awards

Niggas playin' with my time, it's somethin' I can't afford

Somethin' I can't ignore, it's not pushin' my dreams forward

They say they want a battle, but really we want it war
