The Illusionist - I'Dees

Softly spoken, But she had her way with words Sewing up my conscience to cover up her wounds, oh Materialistic, black dress and Tori shoes Wrapped up in accessories to conceal her every move I didn't see this coming So here we are, You caught me off guard And now I'm stuck in love With everything you are When you went off the deep end I buried my head I knew that I was stuck in love With everything you're not, I hope you know I hope you know I hope you know I hope you know I should have never signed up to play But it felt so right until it turned into a game, yeah And that black dress (black dress) faded to grey And the smoothest skin (smoothest skin) withered away I should have seen this coming So here we are, You caught me off guard And now I'm stuck in love With everything you are When you went off the deep end I buried my head I knew that I was stuck in love With everything you're not, I hope you know I hope you know You caught me off guard, I hope you know Don't hate the player you created this game Karma's a bitch that the whole world hates You caught me off guard so here we are So here we are, You caught me off guard And now I'm stuck in love With everything you are When you went off the deep end I buried my head I knew that I was stuck in love With everything you're not, I hope you know So here we are, You caught me off guard And now I'm stuck in love (Now I'm with my heart upon your sleeve) With everything you are When you went off the deep end I buried my head I knew that I was stuck in love With everything you're not, I hope you know I've got you nervous but you know you deserve this I've got you nervous but you know you deserve this, baby I've got you nervous but you know you deserve this, baby

Should I believe in your prophecies? Does it lead me towards false ideals? Where is the evidence Can you show me some proof? This is irrelevant to the people you elude Separate from all your wishful thinking I want to prove what my heart is seeking It's hard to focus with this distance How can I mend this war between us? I've given all my trust in what you believe Will you be reaching back to me? Stay in this picture no further decay The risk will come at a price I'm willing to pay We were fearless with a passion for life Now are we forced to say goodbye (Say goodbye) Programmed over time (Adapted) Was I meant to take this path? Confined out of touch (Absent mind) Set me free to feel alive I placed my trust in you I noticed the threat in our exchange The days goes on with no security It's hard to focus with this distance How can I mend this war between us? I've given all my trust in what you believe Will you be reaching back to me? Stay in this picture no further decay The risk will come at a price I'm willing to pay We were fearless with a passion for life Now are we forced to say goodbye (Say goodbye)

You know I I don't get why I need to live with all of this I'll never be one of you I feel so misplaced, I just need my own space I've seen way too much of your Hate and disgrace that I've lost all my faith (You will never...) (You will never...) (You will never...) You will never push me down You will never see me fall the same 'Cause I have seen, I have seen All the things you've done I will never feel so lost I will never be suppressed again By such a weak, such a weak Such a weak, man I know everybody likes The way how I act that I am part of all of this But darling, I'm just an illusionist But I think that I can't deny That I wished I was more alike Someone with your type of consciousness 'Cause I won't miss a thing that I'm living with (You will never...) (You will never...) (You will never...) You will never push me down You will never see me fall the same 'Cause I have seen, I have seen All the things you've done I will never feel so lost I will never be suppressed again By such a weak, such a weak Such a weak, man And I taught myself how to be my protector Sometimes you need to save yourself From someone considered a lover Sometimes life can turn people so bitter That hurting someone doesn't even matter And I hope I can save myself (Save myself) (You will never...) (You will never...) You will never push me down You will never see me fall the same 'Cause I have seen, I have seen All the things you've done I will never feel so lost I will never be suppressed again By such a weak, such a weak Such a weak, man

Darkest times, I seem to shine brighter My whole life I trained to be a fighter Cold winters, had to weather the storm No one really know whats going on All along seems to be my mood Painting pictures. I'm just getting to it Strictly art Watch me show my vision Money was always the mission When you got none, exactly what you miss it Could you judge me for my obsession I want the cars, the clothes, the money, the shoes Respect. It's just my goals definitely my time to blow Something bout the screams at the shows only time a nigger feel at home I ain't searching for no validation Getting in my zone, clear the way Im on my throne When we come in Know we ain't coming to play around See that grey hound, war path. Keep your face down We ain't running The chief always knows the way around In this game son, we ain't here for that water down We be scoring in the goal They can't keep the whole squad locked up Yeah we running through the town We got the squad packed up We the best at that. We just keep the Vale riled up We got the Vale fired up We got the Vale fired up Spitting fire at the principle Always been a cynic Now I've changed All these war games ever brought me was pain I tried to change name cause I struggled with my identity Grew up in a household putting limits on my energy My girl keeps telling me, thats what made you Cory KayCe But she doesn't know exactly how my mama raised me All these curses in my verses. These lines full of sin HyerVale on my back. Just let the story begin When we come in Know we ain't coming to play around See that grey hound, war path. Keep your face down We ain't running The chief always knows the way around In this game son, we ain't here for that water down We be scoring in the goal They can't keep the whole squad locked up Yeah we running through the town We got the squad packed up We the best at that. We just keep the Vale riled up We got the Vale fired up We got the Vale fired up Every chief takes the lead so I move in my element Had to question if SIN was even relevant Should I shelf it? It soon became evident That when I waste time I also waste my relevance (This time!) I got goals to reach for (This time) I got people I'm trying to speak for Show them a better way let 'em know that they mean more We shoot for the stars because dreamcatchers need more When we come in Know we ain't coming to play around See that grey hound, war path. Keep your face down We ain't running The chief always knows the way around In this game son, we ain't here for that water down We be scoring in the goal They can't keep the whole squad locked up Yeah we running through the town We got the squad packed up We the best at that. We just keep the Vale riled up We got the Vale fired up. We got the Vale fired up We got the Vale fired up. We got the Vale fired up We got the Vale fired up. We got the Vale fired up We got the Vale fired up. We got the Vale fired up
