Facades Lyrics

I been told this as good as it gets

Appreciate your blessings and eat you gritz

I been told this as good as it gets

Go searching for more wings might get clipped

I see

The common type of man

And I try

The common type of plan

But my hands

Are sweaty suicidal

So I ran

To give myself a while

3:36 till a mile

Vile filled so I smile

Stress piles with trials

I feel trapped in these isles

Mildly been defiled

Place is child book wild

And what's more is the same ones that claim they tame

Lamely turn on you

Eat all but your name

Wanna try to pick brains

Inspect your pick up game

And make a martyr out you so they can sell the refrain

Soul foods like every night

Future looking fairly bright

Garden greens

Holy sights

Fable dreams hold me tight

Something off but so is life

Work all day to lose a tithe

Blow the rest on beautiful bitches

Wish some had mutable switches

Conversating losing interest

Always acting tad suspicious

Wonder if it was what's written

Nostradamus had predicted

Heard the message didn't listen

And so I question why pops went missing

Left me here to adhere

Creation drear with no peers

Snakes piercing their ears

Tryna hear his fears

Veer from deer merely peering outta my rear

Near the seer so he shows me mirage

Still in my car

Parked in the garage

Now displaced in facades

Escaping basements tomorrow

Followed by souls encased and hollow

Who holler for dollars

Tell me how to wipe out prejudice

I'll settle for just the prejudices you have inside yourselves

Show me how to get rid of the unlimited capacity for human beings to make themselves believe that they're somehow right

And justified in stealing from somebody

Or hurting somebody

And you'll just about put this place here outta business

Sick of idols who idle

Refuse topics not viral

While most of us spiraling

Jungle wild and violent

Staccatos of primal man

Swelling fists tiring

Tyrant above us all

Release doves he's firing

Cage match gloves taken outta retirement

Sick of court room injustice ignoring my mother's busted lip

Baby dad bruises useless

Jury choose not to sentence him

Evidence not gon do it

Corrupt confessions, been through it

Practice CPS statements

Hiding pendants been stained red

Muffled screams till she fainted, how's he a saint that I'm framing

Care more bout ash that I'm slanging

So sick of people gangbanging

Only leads to arraignment

Grown men grooming children

Tell youth to start shooting

Given routes to Van Heusen

Politicians abusing empowered trips screaming coward

Conspired federal wires

See I'm tired of ire

Constantly mire my priors

Fighting fire with fire

Town crier message dyer

But y'all listen to friars

And fall in line to liars say I'm screaming wolf

But one y'all wearing wool

And rest you quick to follow him

Gallow groups should call on him

Hallowed dupes coddle them

How do dukes fondle men

No repercussive problems and why we still act like institutions aren't part of it

Cloud vision with division

Pit each other for their mission

If they making money its permissive

Church taking pay but y'all still pay your bishops who groom children all the time

Or they gon groom the minds of the minds

Of the groom, children and his wives

All tryna course your lives

Course they tryna court your ass

Dort best not defend that pass

Gassing up iconoclasts

Mohammed must be taught at last

Hope you all hear the brass when you sitting up in class

Questions they gon come to pass
