False Paradise
[Intro]
These days, people talk a lot but never show up
These days, people really actin' like they know us
I've been vibin', workin', livin' up my lifestyle
You been searching for a false paradise, now
[Verse 1]
Why you
Actin' so crazy (yeah)
Drugged on the daily (yeah)
You been turning up saying one day happiness will save me
Shit don't faze me
Time goes by losing my sleep lately
When they gonna pay me?
When I'm gonna know this is changing?
Gettin' really sick of these maybes (yeah)
In love with the journey not seeing these payments
[?] to my flow now I'm [?]
Double these zeros, your boy is an agent
Turn to a beast when I'm jumping on stages (yeah)
Feeling so vacant
Filling it with the hope that you're giving
Not only doin' this shit for a job, I'm doin' this so I can feel like I'm livin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Everything looks better lookin' from the other side (yeah)
Checking all the facts before you can finalize (oh)
Lotta sad people livin' happy through their lies (oh yeah)
A false paradise, false paradise
[Chorus]
These days, people talk a lot but never show up
These days, people really actin' like they know us
I've been vibin', workin', livin' up my lifestyle
You been searching for a false paradise, now
These days, people talk a lot but never show up
These days, people really actin' like they know us
I've been vibin', workin', livin' up my lifestyle
You been searching for a false paradise, now
[Bridge]
False paradise ohhh yeah
Live a false paradise yeah, yeah
False paradise you can see it in their eyes (yeah)
They be livin' lies (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Used to envy all the others (yeah)
Used to lie about my cover (true)
Tryna live like an open book
Wonder 'bout me then go and look
Was a quiet kid, now I silence haters
Forget the stress, then remind us later
I've been giving out the kindest favors
All in the game tryna to find the paper like woah
Lookin' for results when he first start
I was four years in until I first got
Any recognition, man I was too pumped
Now it's two years later and these views jumped
Got long road ahead
I been workin' hard ain't really gone to bed
Bringing my songs, and a lot said man
Focus on my own, I ain't caring about the rest
[Pre-Chorus]
Everything looks better lookin' from the other side (yeah)
Checking all the facts before you can finalize (oh)
Lotta sad people livin' happy through their lies (oh yeah)
A false paradise, false paradise
[Chorus]
These days, people talk a lot but never show up
These days, people really actin' like they know us
I've been vibin', workin', livin' up my lifestyle
You been searching for a false paradise, now
These days, people talk a lot but never show up
These days, people really actin' like they know us
I've been vibin', workin', livin' up my lifestyle
You been searching for a false paradise, now
[Outro]
False paradise ohhh yeah
Live a false paradise yeah, yeah
False paradise you can see it in their eyes (yeah)
They be livin' lies (yeah)
