Selling Lies - Marty McKay, Canibus

I’ve become so tired

Of the blurring lines

Take away all control

They’re just selling lies

We live what they conspire

We’re just wasted lives

Make sure you take control

Of your mind

Content provider, nonetheless wiser

Recycled sources insiders regurgitating their own vomit

There’s only ever one constant

They’re liars, bone deposits hidden in the closet

High powered lawyers are hired

You have the right to remain quiet …

Blackmail with green cash in a white wallets

Blue collars living off grid in a cottage

Where the media reporters are childish

Cellos, keyboards and violins

There’s no surprises, nobody’s smiling, there wilding

Soft disclosure, providing a cushion for hard exposure

Snake Eyes told you GI Joe lost to Cobra

Randolph Hearst a Media Mogul

Talkin' to Rupert saying;

«I told you to handle the scandal like you supposed to «Tell me what you got in mind?

Besides fabricated paradigms

On second thought

I don’t have the time!

No evidence supports what they find

Jedi minds, look’em in the 3rd eye

And hypnotise, worldwide, with more lies!

And 1 by 1

They beat the drum

Don’t fall in line

And 1 by 1

They beat the drum

Don’t fall in line

«Are you talented… yeah»

«Are they interested… depends what you share»

«Are you sensitive… only when it comes to my career»

I prefer my peace and my quiet, cooler hands prevail put out fires,

transition from performer to writer, as an artist I’ll never retire,

but as a man I made a decision to fade away back to the islands,

in a small hut, grow my own vegetables horticulture and such, this frickin'

media is just too much, I’ll disappear in yellow submarine below the ocean like

Ed Snowden, then return with after the planet flip over, I’ll rage against the

machine and disappear like Zach, make a impact, then exit stage right — like

that

The same ole' media game again

Got to be real careful what you say to them

They kicking dirt on ya' name again

If I was you I wouldn’t play wit' them

They only love you until they don’t have to

They only wanna' gain your trust — that’s how they trap you

4G 5G doesn’t even matter

They’ll kill you with your own metadata
