Smokey Mirrors

If you catch me sober, if you catch me sober
Pass me the ****, pass me the ****
If they **** me over, if they **** me over
Know theres no hope, know theres no hope
And as I get older, things get cold
Yeah they get cold
And as I get stronger, the pain lasts long
Yeah it lasts long
If you catch me sober, catch me sober
Pass me the ****, pass me the ****
If they **** me over , if they **** me over
Know theres no hope, know theres no hope

I dig deeper
Cause thats the only way for me to reach ya
Shallow minds can only tell the time
Pity, pity, you should read the signs
They want full control of what we do
They want me to go to war with you
Put us on a screen cause they amused
Bet Ill give em somethin they can view, yeah
Like how you like me now?
Young black man glow, how you like my style?
Get an independent chick , have her wipe me down
Bet theyd rather see me treat her like some type of child
But I cant be the menace
Pass me the Woods if you see that Im stressin
Tell you the truth just to give you direction
Lie to yourself and you stoppin your blessings
Know what its like to be facin depression
Seen it, I lived it and I dont regret it
Theyll pull up on me and aim with their weapons
But I cant live with this constant oppression
Im feeling relentless
I need **** conventions
Maybe then therell be peace and connection
Maybe then we can be what we destined
Pass the **** through the tension, yeah

If you catch me sober, if you catch me sober
Pass me the ****, pass me the ****
If they **** me over, if they **** me over
Know theres no hope, know theres no hope
And as I get older, things get cold
Yeah they get cold
And as I get stronger, the pain lasts long
Yeah it lasts long
If you catch me sober, catch me sober
Pass me the ****, pass me the ****
If they **** me over, if they **** me over
Know theres no hope, know theres no hope

I like bein lonely
I needed that time to get to know me
She thought in her mind she was the only
My heart is so cold its damn near frozen
I like bein lonely
I needed that time to get to know me
She thought in her mind she was the only
My heart is so cold its damn near frozen

Pass me the ****, pass me the ****
Know theres no hope, know theres no hope
