Smoke And Mirrors lyrics

​Set it off!

Early in my life, the act of hearing art
Kept me from falling apart, craving to create
I couldn't be like them
I couldn't settle down then, dry up and die

Why the f*ck we survived is to my surprise?
Six years of sweat and fear, that was all we ever had
It was just enough but for what? Fast love
Fake f*cks, bad luck and all those impossible months

The best times imagined
We were broke and dragging
Our lives behind us laughing
The youth war passing

If I knew then, what I know now?
I would have slept less, no memories to be missed

Everything has changed
Now it's a game of numbers, a competition, f*cker
Know your place, egos dominate and
Money discriminates and I don't fit

I look at others and I see beneath
While others look my way to look down on me
I never had sh*t to prove
For myself to get the kids like me through
And that will never change no

You're the self-proclaimed heir to the industry
But this industry never meant sh*t to me
You're the self-proclaimed heir to the industry
But this industry never meant sh*t to me

Never blessed with the mind of a business man
Nor impressed with the depths of the feeders hands
Never blessed with the mind of a business man
Mind at rest with the heart of a simple man

I know it's never too late
That's why we choose to display, new strength!
