Swäm - Lying Lyrics

First time I lied I don't know why but I was good at it
Naturally inquisitive, always stirring up some shit
Workbooks and extra workload help me stay downstream
In 5th grade we had 4 teachers I was the ringlead
Sensitive too many questions would make my eyes leak
Indicative of my obsession to make these folks pleased
M-m-momma said f*ck these niggas they don't even like me
P-p-problem is center stage I like the way the light beam
Specially how life be
Honestly its frightening
Cause you gotta be faster, stronger, smarter than the whites be
These niggas on the TV so basically its light-speed
And we moved you were whites be so you better go ivy
I was not going ivy so basically I'm lying
I was not going engineer so basically I'm hiding
I was not going doctor, those dreams they are dying
These dreams they aren't mines so my empathy declining
Think of your ancestors
Think of your ancestors
Last time I lied it was petty don't know why
You think Swämi yogi, truth stretching all the time
Eating fruits with yogurt I'm extending on my time
Lying to myself like my health not on decline
I know I'm gaining weight
Im working on my posture
Wallet got bigger so I'm eating all the pasta
Lobster lasagna I'm Garfield to the nonsense
On my road to Zion I'm head butting my conscious
On my road to one-ness
On my road to Rick Rubin my beard is looking scrumptious
No Cobbs on my function
No dibs on my one space
I was running marathon I had to keep set pace
I was tryna record break
Imma set the record straight
Imma keep it sensitive and open as I legislate
Please pardon my temperament
I was only lying cause the truth can get too intimate
Initiative and prying we might never get to think of it
