Poem
I've told so many lies, that it makes no scense Of shame, pain not havin thangs, crafting stories-true myths Lied about victories, age, life and all Dressed up truths, just wanted to impress all of yall But what I came to realize, everybody tells lies Past things to hide, some of us just have no pride But lies eventually turn to game, so the lie can maintain We maintain the lie, and thats when we start to change Lies build up image, paint a beautiful picture And since they believe the lies, our social statis gets bigger And just like His-Story, lies are truth Images built from youth And lies became me and you Of what people believe to be true Till we're lost in words, behind a mask Turned to actors, putting our true self last But who really cares as long as the lie lives and last See I got ah Mama who loves and cares, but still will lie to me Its called not hurtin feelings, yet it still affects me But its all love, maybe all lies ain't bad, some make you laugh Until your the victom to find that you've been had Like broads lying about their baby is mines I play the yah right-role, but babies will soften you blind So I lie to myself, and say maybe its true And after all the years of support, the lie remains the truth Call it suckered, but these are lies we can live with Mamas baby, Daddy's maybe; so who really is the PIMP, and who's the TRICK But lies make us feel so good when it ain't understood I love; I know she loves me; I know that she should Got my life savings on her finger, creeping with the best man Tiried before we make love, but I don't want to understand So the truth of the lie snaps, but I'm too scared to leave her scuffed up and filthy But her dropping the charges of Domestic Violence, a hurtful lie that has found me guilty But so what...The Government lies, so why should I try To tell the truth, when lies can get you by It seems they come so easy like saying your name Not intending to lie, but the tongue spits game Even the Preachers lies, you see it in his eyes "Which one goes in his pocket; offerings or tighs The teachers down too, only if they knew They got ah degree to teach lies, and they believe its the truth They lied in the Bible, to save innocent lives Women lie for their men, just to remain their wives Every trial swares to tell the truth and nothing but the truth On a stack of Bibles, lies are let lose Though there is truth in every lie, if we'd only listen But WE to busy telling lies to pay any attention LIES......
