Smoke + Mirrors Lyrics

Smoke and mirrors it gotta be there

Smoke and mirrors it gotta be there

Smoke and mirrors it gotta be there

Yeah

Anxiety my enemy always be there

Tell me why it come

It can never be fair

When no one was there

Man you really was there

Holding me down while I struggled with fear

Kid on my neck and a man on my neck

How the fuck you can't hear me?

You gotta be there

But I was too young to know this life aint fair

Couldn't even see you but knew you was there

Pretty and perfect when he wasn't there

But I was a child, hope you forgive me here

These smoke and mirrors, man is all I can see

When you could've been there been lying deceased

When you could've been there with nothing to eat

I write this in jist of the man I've become

I'd put two bullets if it wasn't for some

Put that on my kids and the kids they become

See I had the light, you were sat in the dark, ness

Like the monster, submerged in the sun

Just like the monster, believe you they won't

But my ears were open, try drain it with sound

The screams getting louder soon as I'm in town

Your next door neighbour in a tower of fun

Your next door neighbour in a tower that drum

Your next door neighbour, man that couldn't do none

Smoke and mirrors

Holding me back now

Smoke and mirrors

Seeing you reach now

Smoke and mirrors

Can't see you right now

Smoke and mirrors

Holding me back now

Smoke and mirrors

Seeing you reach now

Smoke and mirrors

Can't see you right

Out of the blue

These memories keep rushing in

Spearheaded by these deadly sings

Spreadheaded by the man of your dreams

Playing roulette like its Russian

Black and blue, painting you in his sins

Every night, like the canvas of jin

I toss and turn, thinking how it could end

I hope and pray God can make his amends

I hope and pray baby make it to 10

I hope and pray he know that I been praying

I hope and pray she pray when I am dead

I hope and pray hoping you are all set

I hope and pray that I got your respect

I hope and pray that you got his protect

I hope and pray

P.s neighbour from 10

Smoke and mirrors

Holding me back now

Smoke and mirrors

Seeing you reach now

Smoke and mirrors

Can't see you right now

Smoke and mirrors

Holding me back now

Smoke and mirrors

Seeing you reach now

Smoke and mirrors

Can't see you right

You ever felt you couldn't do something cause you were young?

Remember my Mum getting followed by this one here bum

Man I was only 4 or 5, to me he was giant

If he see me now, I best he wish he didn't try, uh

To me you are important, so I gotta tell your story

And even though its overdue, I hope they hold this closely

To a point they no longer deal with deal shit

This shit is troubling

And I gotta leave it here
