Not Just Pretend by Tru$pok Lyrics
{Verse 1}
Sometimes I think I’m dead
Just another ghost emitting out echoes of what I let go a long time ago
And Maybe I was never meant to make it in this life
Just another guy destined to live it out in strife
It’s so scary, no matter how hard you try to come up
Someone is there to bring you back down and
Nine times out of ten they’re a bunch of ridiculous clowns
Bragging about nothing
And Destroying their own towns
At what cost?
For a fucking meal ticket
With illusions of being the boss?
Cuz you think you got what it takes
To reach the top
Really think you’re with it?
You know what you gotta sell to fucking get it kid
{Hook}
{verse 2)
Are you up for it, rookie? for a piece of that cookie?
Can you really live the life they did?
I don’t know more so I won’t go, got to much to loose to ever get sold
And they know, I make em more money if my story is never told
Gonna find out real quik how my rhythm will put an end to the system
Rap was meant to be a weapon against the crooked establishments
Fuck the bitch ass entertainers, we ain't here to ride or die
Both those words been so badly molested and sadly it makes this thug just wanna cry
Gladly investing in something most these fake ass bitches couldn’t derive
It’s just a matter of time before my rhymes hit harder than My tai
{Hook}
{Verse 3}
The schematic of this structure is the number one conductor
The status for my lovers has decreased to mother fuckers
I'm the dark to your light, you need to open your eyes
Come now and take my hand, we can do this together
We can fight to save lives and push back our oppressors
Stand up shout out against the corruption in our government
Tell em you don’t want these twisted politics running it
Promote writing petitions, impeaching these crooked politicians
Demote these corporations behind damn near all our invasions
Stop moping as singles, join together as people
It’s that simple
This is our vision Do you want change?
Then join in on this mission
Sometimes I think I’m dead
Just another ghost emitting out echoes of what I let go a long time ago
And Maybe I was never meant to make it in this life
Just another guy destined to live it out in strife
It’s so scary, no matter how hard you try to come up
Someone is there to bring you back down and
Nine times out of ten they’re a bunch of ridiculous clowns
Bragging about nothing
And Destroying their own towns
At what cost?
For a fucking meal ticket
With illusions of being the boss?
Cuz you think you got what it takes
To reach the top
Really think you’re with it?
You know what you gotta sell to fucking get it kid
