Brandon Batarseh - Not Just Pretend lyrics

{Verse 1} Sometimes I think I'm dead Just another ghost emitting out echoes of what I let go a long time ago And Maybe I was never meant to make it in this life Just another guy destined to live it out in strife It's so scary, no matter how hard you try to come up Someone is there to bring you back down and Nine times out of ten they're a bunch of ridiculous clowns Bragging about nothing And Destroying their own towns At what cost? For a f**ing meal ticket With illusions of being the boss? Cuz you think you got what it takes To reach the top Really think you're with it? You know what you gotta sell to f**ing get it kid {Hook} {verse 2) Are you up for it, rookie? for a piece of that cookie? Can you really live the life they did? I don't know more so I won't go, got to much to loose to ever get sold And they know, I make em more money if my story is never told Gonna find out real quik how my rhythm will put an end to the system Rap was meant to be a weapon against the crooked establishments f** the b**h a** entertainers, we ain't here to ride or die Both those words been so badly molested and sadly it makes this thug just wanna cry Gladly investing in something most these fake a** b**hes couldn't derive It's just a matter of time before my rhymes hit harder than My tai {Hook} {Verse 3} The schematic of this structure is the number one conductor The status for my lovers has decreased to mother f**ers I'm the dark to your light, you need to open your eyes Come now and take my hand, we can do this together We can fight to save lives and push back our oppressors Stand up shout out against the corruption in our government Tell em you don't want these twisted politics running it Promote writing petitions, impeaching these crooked politicians Demote these corporations behind damn near all our invasions Stop moping as singles, join together as people It's that simple This is our vision Do you want change? Then join in on this mission
