Lies We Paid For - M.I, Tyler Keyes

M. I — Lies We Paid For

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…

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…
