Don't take this the wrong way I feel like I'm drowning Surrounded by takers in a world overcrowded Surrounded by liars, don't get me started Let's see who gets further, half or wholehearted Don't take this for granted I know this is subjective Take what's been handed, roll with the punches Let's see who's left standing, or what could be mended If life is a joke, I won't be offended Trust me when I say that this is not the way It's not the way It's not the way I've done all my time for all of your crimes It's not in the rhymes I write line after line It's in the lies you've lied time after time I feel sick To my stomach For all the lies that have been written I feel sick To my stomach For all the lies that have been given In my defense, can you see what I'm up against I want more, I want more Never laid to rest until this all makes sense In my head, in my thoughts everything has a cost Trust me when I say that this is not the way It's not the way It's not the way I've done all my time for all of your crimes It's not in the rhymes I write, line after line It's in the lies you've lied time after time All of this time We've been living a lie In your defense, might as well be laid to rest Nothing more, nothing less Doesn't matter if it even makes sense, in your head, in your head All this time All this time All this time, we've been living All this time, we've been living All this time, we've been living All this time, we've been living a lie
