smoke 'n' mirrors

ksi

look at myself i see my face

in blurry visions everyday

smoke 'n' mirrors

blind me from the way

smoke 'n' mirrors

blind me from the way

i see your hidden agenda

had to send me shit

but i'm killing the sender

riding on my shit

then i left it to render

and nigga i'm the shit

came up with like i'm slender

man

i'm on a high one

counting all my worries

counting all my monies

suck one

i don't give a shit

and i'm not wearing your tees

i've got my old girls

now here

chilling on knees

i've got my new girls

now here

willing to please

i'm on the next ting

quick ting

why not check things

still i'm still a young ting

ain't that something

living life like i never thought i could

with my team here around and everything is all good

and then i

look at myself i see my face

in blurry visions everyday

smoke 'n' mirrors

blind me from the way

smoke 'n' mirrors

blind me from the way

i grew up poor

everyday i wore that same dirty yankee cap

roll over my eyes

i didn't want to talk to no one i was angry

fast-forward to a month ago i was in the new era

office and they let me take what i like imagine that

i guess things do change

couldn't afford family holidays growing up

but today i been on two planes

never begged it

why you have to go making a scene

my bars go over heads like michelangelo painting a ceiling

life's like a motion picture

we are blinded by smoke and mirrors

and lies we're told to give up her the desire

to go and buy all the things we can't afford but convinced that we need

i just want to be happy and not live on the street

they fucking with my chakra

i'm just tryna do me

you idealize some guy that's lying and hide behind the jewelry

their heart is empty and their soul is hollow

living like there's no tomorrow

i know every moments borrowed

smoke 'n' mirrors

blind me from the way

smoke 'n' mirrors

blind me from the way

i don't wanna get lost on this long road

i've been looking for something hoping it unfolds

but i see a lot of smoke in the air

another look in the mirror but the reflection is unknown

i'm a grown man loosing my mind

i tell myself i'm doing just fine too many times

but man a dead weight

my boy say

get your head straight"
