smoke & mirrors - patrick p.a.t. barnett lyrics

smoke & mirrors

(verse)
games corrupt to the core, yet we all wanna sign up?
soon it erupts in war, and we’re all in the line up
its f-cked say no more, and this ain’t no wind up
see, wealth and fame consumes a mc’s mind & youth
reality hits, you realize you blind to the truth
vitality slips, when your times confined to the booth
this grind is uncouth, and every single line is the proof
these walls a have you screaming, go berserk if you may
that old saying has some meaning, “all work and no play”
living the life you been dreaming, only perk of your day
besides trying to out rhyme every jerk in your way
believe or not, most would go and murk for the pay
let’s face facts, huh, ain’t no escaping the truth.. if you..
bring the streets to the mic then you’re not safe in the booth
people delete who they like, might as well get used
you taking heat to the fight there’s no making a truce….

(hook)
what you see on tv is the smoke & mirror factor…
actors caught in raptures were reality isn’t captured…
tv, plays with your mind, there’s to many fake ballers…
no control over there lives, they just take orders…
it’s all just smoke and mirrors, lights, camera, action..
little reality enters, perhaps that’s the attraction?

(verse)
there’s more to hip hop than all the glamour and glitter
you got the haters, tryna throw salt in the mixture…
an critics pull apart grammar all in your scripture
so next time your dreaming… slam that in the picture
once again, harsh reality come to hit-ya…
now, this business is known for abusing folk…
games crammed with some cons, they’ll use you folk
pay close attention, you will lose no joke
self educate… don’t get left confused and broke…
learn from mistakes, remember all the “do’s and dont’s”
you spend years being tossed, from pillar to post
battling everyone just to prove you’re iller than most…
be warned, it can be a career k!ller to boast
just a simple toast when you know your deal is a winner…
don’t give haters a chance to cap-peel a beginner
see out here sh-t is real, no smoke and no mirrors…

(hook)
what you see on tv is the smoke & mirror factor…
actors caught in raptures were reality isn’t captured…
tv plays with your mind there’s to many fake ballers…
they’ve no control of there lives, they just take orders…
it’s all just smoke and mirrors, lights, camera, action..
little reality enters into it, perhaps that’s the attraction?

(verse)

lets say that you get in the game
you make a lil change
where you signed want you to change
cuz they gave a piece of change
in advance
at last
you’ve got your first chance
you strive to be unique just not the same song and dance
but your youtube ain’t poppin’
mixtape floppin’
label a&r’s start lookin for better options
its the end for you
situation gettin critical
rumors on the net bout the label is gettin rid of you
and it was all good just a week ago
you claim you’re being strong
but your soul getting weaker yo
one hit wonder
yeah you definitely not a keeper though
that’s that, really, that’s rap
by the way that advance money they need it right back…..gone
