Illusions & Delusions
It’s not easy in the moment
No matter what they foment
I don’t care what they say
It’s my life at the end of the day
Eventually the truth will set you free
After all, that’s God’s decree
You’ve got to trust them red flags
Cuz they’re not helping you with your bag
Singing and whistling their siren’s song
It’s alright, this time next year I’ll be long gone
I call them masters of illusion
And manipulators of delusion
Sometimes they’re a mime
And other times they give you a dime
It’s all smoke and mirrors on the stage
Working for an audience who will gauge
Their support based on a fake
Don’t get too close, it’s only half baked
Some will see right through it
Others in the fan club ‘til there’s a fit
What matters most is the show
They careful not to blow
Will do anything to maintain their cover
Even sell a story to your lover
Just like a candy bar with too much wrapping
It’s all pretend that they don’t love a good thrashing
Over and over, it’s an illusion and delusion
Give me something pure, I’m not into all that fusion
They talk a good game
Loving the limelight and the fame
But when that shit begins to gets real
They nowhere in sight when you start to heal
Always looking out for themselves
Even though they look like a saint or one of Santa’s elves
Don’t put them on my shelf
I’m staying far away to maintain my health
Deception reigns supreme
Even playing along with those memes
But they sinister and dark
And the contrast is extremely stark
What happens in the front or the back
I got the receipts, they just stacked
Learning to let go and let God
What I’m doing, they can’t stop
Masters of illusion and disguise
It’s trial and error til none are wise
Can’t help their wicked lies
Give me a dime for each one and I could buy a million pies
Silly rabbit, it’s all just tricks
Can’t break my spirit with them sticks
I’m staying alive no matter the price
It’s my turn to roll the dice
If they’re triggered, they work even harder
I like the opposite, I work smarter
No interest in going toe to toe
I already see thru their shit show
Illusions and delusions that some of us see
They’re not as good as they pretend to be
Stealing everybody else’s ideas as their own
Only makes ‘em a copy cat on the phone
Been at this a long time
Salty and sour just like that lime
Their game is a game only they know
Delusions and illusions are their show.
