A little ditty about the everyday White Lies we tell to keep us comfortable.

lyrics

White Lion

Intro
I do it, you do it, we do it
So it's obvious to see clean thru it
She do it, He do it, they do it
So it's obvious to....

Verse
If you gone do it, gone do it, no sense kidding/
unsure of it? Sure you is you the one did it/
patient waitin' 'til after openin' bids/
to snag some appropriate swag off eBay for my kid/
I'd surf craigslist, but don't want any bullshit/
folks claiming they got something good be full of shit/
wouldn't it be a wonderful world if/
the truth would suffice, n we wouldn't have to lie/
but it's not, and imperfect am I/
I'd flimflam a polygraph, right hand on the bible/
lookin a priest in the eye hole, tellin of my inner child/
while he fantasizes, undenied by his smile/
compromise something I'll come to often b4 my demise/
two things I despise, along with niggas n flies/
ignorant I, you take the last piece of humble pie/
perhaps I'll happen upon a bullet to bite/

Hook
At first said I was down to earth, I lied/
why not? Everybody out here lying/
besides what's the difference 'tween you and I/
You lie what's wrong with mine?/

Verse
I don't need an Unsung, my legacy already/
been steadily thrown into my flows party confetti/
slowly rollin' stuck like wet spaghetti, barely/
gettin my act together, more Delirious than Eddie/
at 22, not really knowin what I wan'da do/
comin to...America, have I got somethin' for u/
change is comin in the form of the former/
rhymer drinker, incredible thinker/
avid reader, but since my intoxication/
lines have blurred, and I no longer have my patience/
taking shit for granted up until it's taken/
only to sober again and re-awaken/
in this same lame dream I've been in, unwilling/
in holdin sittin, like whatchu talmbout Willis?/
listening to my cellmate bullshittin/
forget it, how would I know wherein lies the difference?

Verse
Whirl winded, head spinnin' wind in my scalp/
itchin' chilling just tryna figure shit out/
when in doubt, I google, what's it to you?/
who you? Dude there's doo-doo on your shoe too/
who knew the one place built on lies/
has another side if you willing to dive in it/
There's truth to it, what you choose to do with it/
is your business, I don't interfere in ignorance/
then again I must step in when its blatant/
if you gone lie be suave, and naw I'm not hatin'/
I'm just saying I ain't fact checking, asking questions/
or tryna reference any of the mess presented/
just setting ground rules of what I'm not gone do/
lie to your mom, I'm sure she's lied to you/
I'm tired of trying a lot of bullshit comes with lying/
How am i to remember I can't remember who I am/
