L.I.E.S.

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......
