Deception

Lord, I won't do this song

This is a fight with myself

I wanna gain much wealth

I wanna live by myself.

But I'm surrounded by...

I'll keep that to myself

I'm so stupid

Well hello my little friends and look at them run

I'm still at home with no ends and look at them run

Hopping in a tricked out Benz and look at them run

While I'm clocking in as a temp boy look at them run

It is too late now to affect the whole world, or is it just dated now?

They could care less who invaded now.

Really am I silly with the dreams of the milli'?

Top billing with a big fat record deal-ly

First I buy a house way up on the hill-ly

Then I get a girly dressed like Mr. Furley

Met her in Nashville or was it Philly?

Her hair so curly and look at me burly

But my dream deferred, I felt the same words that Langston heard

I watched them pass and it seemed absurd.

A decade of dreaming and it seeming that they

Just run away with my verbs.

And its:

Chorus:

Deception. Look at them dancing in the field goal

Deception. I look at me and I'm getting old.

Deception. How many records have I really sold?

Deception. Whoops I did it again boy. (2X)

Ten years ago I woke up with a dream in my hand

Ran for a couple of yards, but tripped and fell to my hands

And then got up because the Lord Almighty told me He can

Ran for a couple of more, and tripped and fumbled again

And people asking what you getting up for go get a job

But I gotta carry out this dream or my life I rob

And when I'm gonna work for 45 years up in the mall

And when I'm old and gray wondering where's my calling?

And I'd rather die now than never wonder how.

Never ever try now coulda' woulda' shoulda' will be

All I sigh how can I live a mediocre

Life and not ever ask You why.

Are we hear specifically not mundane

But a gifted people.

We must shine and it must be equal.

Live your life cause there is no sequel.

Oh it's a reception

Chorus

Hey, Hey, wait I'm called to do something.

I don't know exactly what it is but I'm hunting.

Getting lost in this record biz and I'm fumbling.

Oops I did it again boy.

(Repeat)

Chorus (2x)
