Smoke & Mirrors is a song in English
Sometimes I think of success like is it smoke and mirrors?
Like when I make it would my problems get to disappearing?
Or would it amplify the doubts I'm feeling?
Multiply the time I'm spending
Hoping it's worth it and not the wrong decision
Remove the veil I'm learning what isn't real
It's really a cold world like that nigga from the Ville
And Yeah
We're in the negatives niggas playing sleep like some sedatives
Coroner with sheets on my relatives
Bartender pour me something stronger
Can you slow it all down, can it last longer
Can you dumb it all down for the billboard so it charts longer
Advance getting smaller when you talk smarter
Bunch of lap dogs now you got to bark for your owners
Saying you the boss but it's all bogus
True poet like that rapper that did Flower Bomb Lotus
Got to stand tall like a small forward
World order watch me take this shit and start it all over
I'm toying with you niggas yall some small soldiers
All focused on the next play
Working to the bone like an X-ray
Swear that I'mma go and fly
And you can see the picture clearer if you open eye
This ain't a game James Bond ain't no golden eye
They taking notice cause I'm on the rise
Making records on the fly
Thought that I was joking but I want what's mines
And can you tell the truth is it smoke and mirrors?
Am I still far away?
Am I getting nearer?
Any closer to the prize will I be the winner?
When it's over will I be remembered
Tell me will I be remembered yeah
And can you tell the truth is it smoke and mirrors?
Am I still far away
Am I getting nearer?
Any closer to the prize will I be the winner?
When it's over will I be remembered
Tell me will I be remembered yeah
Know some rappers have a thing for flashing
Chains get snatched they blasting a chain reaction
Take them platinum plaques to the grave for lacking
Yeah he streaming cause he gone now
They acting like he's on now
Said nothing before he died better calm down
And he got shot down it dominoes yall all down
Then win a Grammy man what type of shit is that?
It's like yall rather see a casket with him lying on his back
And if he was still alive yall be quiet as a rat
Yall be silent when the time is for the audience to clap
That's why I chose the name Bravo
Cheering for myself when yall won't
Got to prove them wrong yeah
And when I'm on would the grass that be growing on the lawn
Seem greener than the side that I'm on?
Yeah
I'll tell you once I get there
Far from the finish till the stone gets set there
Yeah
And can you tell the truth is it smoke and mirrors?
Am I still far away?
Am I getting nearer?
Any closer to the prize will I be the winner?
When it's over will I be remembered
Tell me will I be remembered yeah
