The Mirage

Are you lying? Tell the truth! #Rapfame_official #Suno #Ai @Health_awareness [Verse 1] They sold a dream in a paper crown Put gold paint on a rundown town Same old fear in a new disguise Kids read lies through the preacher eyes. Corners talk with a hollow grin Law on the outside, smoke within I seen truth walk with a broken shoe Limp past folks who swore they knew. Paper signs on the judge's wall One man's rise is another man's fall. They clap loud when the mask look clean, But the rot still lives in between. [Pre-Chorus] Tell me who you trust When the dust don't leave Tell me what is real When they sell what you see [Chorus] It's a lie, it's a lie Wrapped in gold and blue It's the truth, it's the truth If it cuts right through It's a lie, it's a lie When the mirror don't choose It's a truth, it's a truth If it costs me too (yeah) [Verse 2] I walk slow where the rumors breed Every smile got a hidden seed Neon saints with a crooked halo Praise in the day, then they chase the payroll. Mama said, "Baby, watch their hands" Some build walls, some draw brands. Make you fear what you never met Then point at chains while they collect. City dreams on a velvet tip Whole block sold for a government slip Now the kids know the game by heart Fake concern with a corporate spark. [Pre-Chorus] Tell me who you trust When the dust don't leave Tell me what is real When they sell what you see [Chorus] It's a lie, it's a lie Wrapped in gold and blue It's the truth, it's the truth If it cuts right through It's a lie, it's a lie When the mirror don't choose It's a truth, it's a truth If it costs me too (yeah) [Bridge] Sometimes the sky looks like a sign But it bends when the hands align I seen a saint with a dealer's stare Seen a devil wear a civil chair. So I keep mine low, keep mine near Read the room like the smoke in here If the world want a mask, let it show I know the trick, I watch it glow. [Final Chorus] It's a lie, it's a lie Wrapped in gold and blue It's the truth, it's the truth If it cuts right through It's a lie, it's a lie When the mirror don't choose It's a truth, it's a truth If it costs me too (yeah) It's a lie, it's a lie But the streets still knew It's the truth, it's the truth When the dream break through It's a lie, it's a lie Let the false light bruise It's a truth, it's a truth If it costs me too (yeah)
