Honestly

When you think you heard it all
 Oh contraire
Its only the beginning
If I must say
So deceiving
The way things look 
I believe nothing
Not even in a book
What's real 
Anymore
People lie so good
Truth hurts 
But words are misunderstood
The world is getting better
Or is it worse
My kids will know this story
But first I must rehearse
It becomes so unique
Then its not
You hear words like fleek
Then you tie the knot
Who made this up 
You ain't hot
Mediocre things
The game will never change
You write in history
It remains the same
You think you made new
But truly
Its just old news
