Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Look at myself, I see my face

In blurry visions everyday

[Verse 2]

Smoke 'n' mirrors

Blind me from the way

Smoke 'n' mirrors

Blind me from the way

[Verse 3]

I see your hidden agenda

Had to send me shit but I'm killing the sender

Run it on my shit, then I left it to render

And ****, I'm the shit, came up quick like I'm Slender

Man, I'm on a high one

Counting all my worries (Oh no, I got them)

Counting all my monies (Oh wait, you want some) suck one

I don't give a shit and I'm not wearing your tees

[Verse 4]

I've got my old girls down here, chilling on knees

I've got my near girls down here, willing to please

I'm on the next ting, quick ting, wired up, check please

Still I'm still a young ting, ain't that something?

Living life like I never thought I could

With my team here around and everything is all good

And then I

[Verse 5]

Look at myself, I see my face

In blurry visions everyday

[Verse 6]

Smoke 'n' mirrors

Blind me from the way

Smoke 'n' mirrors

Blind me from the way

[Verse 7]

I grew up poor, everyday I wore that same dirty Yankee cap

Low over my eyes, I didn't wanna talk to no one, I was angry fast

Forward to a month ago I was in the New Era office

And they let me take what I like, imagine that

I guess things do change, couldn't afford family holidays

Growing up, but today I've been on two planes

Never begged it, why you have to go making a scene?

My bars go over heads like Michelangelo painting a ceiling

[Verse 8]

Life's like a motion picture, we're blinded by smoke 'n' mirrors

And lies that were told to give a desire to go and buy

All of the things that we can't afford, we're convinced that we need

I just want to be happy and not live in the street

They fucking with my chakra, I'm just tryna do me

You idolizing guys that lie and hide behind their jewelry

Their heart is empty and their soul is hollow

Living like there's no tomorrow, I know every moment's borrowed

Half the world's in circles

[Verse 9]

Smoke 'n' mirrors

Blind me from the way

Smoke 'n' mirrors

Blind me from the way

[Verse 10]

I don't wanna get lost on this long road

I've been looking for something, hoping it unfolds

But I see a lot of smoke in the air

And I've been looking in the mirror but the reflection is unknown

Am I going mad, losing my mind?

I tell myself I'm doing just fine too many times

But man, a dead weight, my boy said, get your head straight

I'm like, brother, you can say that again

[Verse 11]

But I never would've imagined this chain of events

I remember when I just wanted some fame in the ends

Yeah, trying to do it all the same as my friends

And it's funny how it switched up, maybe sing your next song

Why we tryna see clear?

Looking thought the mist, but I don't wanna be here

When I get a glimpse, ah

[Verse 12]

Look at myself, I see my face

In blurry visions everyday

[Verse 13]

Smoke 'n' mirrors

Blind me from the way

Smoke 'n' mirrors

Blind me from the way
