M80 YP - As It Seems (feat. Temper Beats) Lyrics

I done seen great days played out on a tv screen
Come to find the cuts they gotta hide inside behind the scenes
Nothing is as it seems
(One more time for me)
Nothing is as it seems
Yeah
We tryna live our lives through these Kodak moments
But often find ourselves when we cold or at our lowest
Never take no pictures, don't want nobody to notice
And wonder why the way we see ourselves feel outta focus
You not just the highs or the lows, no
Not just surrounded or alone
Or in and out yo zone
If that's all you truly had, man life is short
Embrace what's in between and show love to all your folk!
Cause what else truly matter more than finding joy and spreading it?
How can I be happy if my people don't reap the benefits?
The right people goin help you when you bout to reach your precipice
And when we counting stacks we get to sit back and reminisce bout all these times not having it
Enjoying the lavishes that come with all the statuses
Imitating greatness, in our hand the fishbowl glasses is
Six shots of Lobos each, we bout to be some savages
Facing all the liquor how I face most my challenges
As a kid I was always told that I was talented
As I got older I was told to be sum average
They wrote out a plan for me and mad that I ain't having it
Said I could be anything and snatched it when I'm grabbin it
You'd be mad too if you was promised the world and the first thing they do is bury you
Chop you at yo knees, leave you weak
And then complain they gotta strain they obliques tryna carry you
Reminding me that
Nothing is as it seems
(One more time)
Nothing is as it seems
(But I've seen)
I done seen great days played out on a TV screen
Come to find the cuts they gotta hide inside behind the scenes
Nothing is as it seems
(One more time)
Nothing is as it seems
