Lies We Paid For

M.I – Lies We Paid For
Verse 1:
See the truth about this thing is that…
Ain’t no truth, ain’t no honor / so I’ma state the facts
Play this back & get faded / let me relate on wax
I’m losing faith & I’m saving the little bit I have / Embracing it, paying it back
Getting’ tired of the lies that we’ve all been told
& the profit that’s been driving us, sizing us up is so…
Wrong / and there ain’t no soul in this / soldiers get sent to roam
Then get told they get to go home / But get blown away fo’ they know
And they won’t tell us the truth / so they own us from shirt to shoe
& we gotta pay for the lies that they said in 2002
& I’m sick to my stomach, through with the news & what they pursue
I’m slipping slowly into this depression so give me 2 of them..
Pills you say I should use / & if that ain’t enough then do me a favor
Give me a few more to get me through / this is to much for me to get use to
Killin’ us with prescriptions
Thing is, I’ma need a cigarette so I can think then… I can mention

These Lies we paid for...

Verse 2:
So don’t be mad when.. you get what you paid fo
And I know that you had intentions but didn’t say so
You just tried to play us, we waited & then you laid low
All up in my face & im sayin this ain’t game though
All I see is the same ol’ / all I hear is the pain
All this shit for the fame & it really don’t mean a thing
And I’m laying up in the same boat, saying I’ma change
Lying to myself, yeah I say it so I’ll be sane
Try to justify the way I been sinning, living in vain
Sitting inside an industry where they bill you to get a name
& karma’s been a btch to me, you should know what I’m saying
Cause if you so much as claim it, I’ll wait for you to explain / I’m jaded, losing my way
And my faith in all offenders
It ain’t hard telling the truth & you shouldn’t have to remember
& I never been the type to get stuck up in this world
I ain’t lying, ain’t no pride in fuckin’ other niggas girls…
