time to realize, the music buisness feed us lies but it takes more than that for us to leave it all we´ve been called independent hippies by the people dissin’ us hell I ain´t independent, I depend on my listeners so thank you if you like me and ok if you don´t but fuck you if you don´t listen but still are acting like you know this battle getting old I´ve had it and I know I should laugh at you I only did what I had to do whatever happened to the good old ways of showing gratitude instead of attitude there is nothing I rather do than throwing my pen and pad at you don´t want to follow the tend and swallow the blend of greed and vanity that they feed me gradualy through music media damn right is on I wan´t to know right from wrong don´t want to just ride along but it feels like everytime I write a song pepole are like “drop the microfone, we don´t like your poem” I dont want everyone to love me I just don´t want to die alone
I´m living in a lie, lying in my livingroom driven to boredom, listening to the given tunes feeling that my limbs will begin to shiver soon yet I´m living in a lie, living in my livingroom I´m living in a lie, lying in my livingroom give it to me now, I know I´m not alone to give into the bitter truth everyone and I mean even you are living in a lie, living in my livingroom
they want to see our reason fall behind all I wanted to was to speak what´s on my mind and maybe have me some fun but their damage is done their brainwash is already in effect go ahead and give me your version of credit and respect I´m listening but if we´re talking ‘bout the same thing than there must be a missing link and if you think I just don´t understand what you´re saying you´re damn right indeed don´t know what you´re trying to be and if all yall can call me is a playerhater fine by me but you better belive there´s nothing better than me than being head over heels in love with poetry said over beats but many mc´s are pretending to be some sort of rockstars not what will make me buy a record I hate their tactics as a playstation addict I escape the city of shame but playing videogames all day won´t give me no fame so maybe I should try to get signed and get big in the game “here is your catalog number, now get rid of your name”
I´m living in a lie, lying in my livingroom driven to boredom, listening to the given tunes feeling that my limbs will begin to shiver soon yet I´m living in a lie, living in my livingroom I´m living in a lie, lying in my livingroom give it to me now, I know I´m not alone to give into the bitter truth everyone and I mean even you are living in a lie, living in my livingroom
radio time´s for sake and now they pump their music into your head till you´re hooked on what you´re forcefed but do they realy think we´re that stupid well I guess they do and if wou ain´t they question you until they get the best of you I guess we´re all decived by the western weiw of music as a shallow entertainment without walues or any statements controlled by the ones who make the payments is there any vacant basement see I could use a hideaway don´t get me wrong, I ain´t trying to save hiphop, it´s doing fine it´s all the ill behavior around it that needs a saviour, do me a favor don´t put words into my mouth I never said I would mind being a superstar but I won´t make a fool out of myself just to get far see mistakes like these they often happen and money ain´t the reason I started rappin´ I was lost a while till hip hop took me as foster child always used to think that music was my life, kind of dump ‘cause if you call that music then what the fuck have I become
I´m living in a lie, lying in my livingroom driven to boredom, listening to the given tunes feeling that my limbs will begin to shiver soon yet I´m living in a lie, living in my livingroom I´m living in a lie, lying in my livingroom give it to me now, I know I´m not alone to give into the bitter truth everyone and I mean even you are living in a lie, living in my livingroom
