Image Isnt Everything by Mind Over Matter Lyrics
[Refrain]
Jon Reichardt
'Cause it goes on
Yeah it goes on
[Verse 1: Willow]
Image isn’t everything they selling us cheap tricks
Without no receipt 'cause they just like a thief is
And this is where the sheep live, treated like beatniks
Monies man made so thank God for the free things
What do you believe in? Most people nothing
You could really say that that’s a closed off assumption
The whole globe has got faith but we don’t show it the same
Some hide behind money or get a boat load of fame
And then they soak up the pain rolling notes for cocaine
'Cause life is like gambling we got poker to play
And this is my life’s lane I’m driving over the range
With full control of my brain I went and opened the gates
Insecurities hurt keep acting like a tough guy
Every girl's beautiful, that ego must die
'Cause image isn’t everything
Understand that and feel better than we’ve ever been
But monies what they want you to be generous with
So they will tell you it is if they can sell you some shit
Now we got billion dollar industries to welcome it with
They got the people by the balls with an incredible grip
I’m like whatever with this, just call it conditioning
Mind control techniques it’s war that we’re living in
This goes to the teens with a low self esteem
Don’t let any motherfucker take your hopes, we are free
[Refrain]
Jon Reichardt
'Cause it goes on
Yeah it goes on
[Chorus]
Willow and Smiles Again, life’s ill sometimes life might kill
It’s a bumpy road gonna wear that tread on the wheels
Is it a curse that half of what we feel isn’t real
Or a gift that half of what we feel isn’t real
Willow and Smiles again, life’s ill sometimes life might kill
It’s a bumpy road gonna wear that tread on the wheels
Is it a curse that half of what we feel isn’t real
Or a gift that half of what we feel isn’t real
[Verse 2: Smiles Again]
And none of us can predict the knocks life brings us
But some of us forget that we all got five fingers
Either the bullied just cop it from other kids at high school
Or else they go on to bully in a vicious cycle
Be your own person screw what your friends say
Trust me they’re as confused as you yes they
Stressing bout their virginity trying to get laid
'Cause you ain’t cool if you haven’t lost it by tenth grade
Magazines telling teens what they must buy
Twelve year old girls insecure 'bout their cup size
What the fuck right? Ain’t this a damn shame?
Kids begging parents for a tee with a brand name
School yard politics there’s a lot of it
Tough kids pushing you round like they’re problem less
This older kid wouldn’t let me off the bus at my stop
When he finally did I cried walking home nine blocks
And I can’t talk man I got my bully on
To make the cooler kids laugh knowing it was fully wrong
And for my mistakes when I started writing this
I didn’t see myself apologising on a mixtape
But I’m truly sorry, for any pain caused
When we see each other next beers on me
And it’s honestly amazing that you took it
In doing so you’re already stronger than I could be
[Refrain]
Jon Reichardt
'Cause it goes on
Yeah it goes on
[Chorus]
Willow and Smiles again, life’s ill sometimes life might kill
It’s a bumpy road gonna wear that tread on the wheels
Is it a curse that half of what we feel isn’t real
Or a gift that half of what we feel isn’t real
Willow and Smiles again, life’s ill sometimes life might kill
It’s a bumpy road gonna wear that tread on the wheels
Is it a curse that half of what we feel isn’t real
Or a gift that half of what we feel isn’t real
