Lies We Paid For

M.I – Lies We Paid For Verse 1: See the truth about this thing is that… Ain’t no truth, ain’t no honor / so I’ma state the facts Play this back & get faded / let me relate on wax I’m losing faith & I’m saving the little bit I have / Embracing it, paying it back Getting’ tired of the lies that we’ve all been told & the profit that’s been driving us, sizing us up is so… Wrong / and there ain’t no soul in this / soldiers get sent to roam Then get told they get to go home / But get blown away fo’ they know And they won’t tell us the truth / so they own us from shirt to shoe & we gotta pay for the lies that they said in 2002 & I’m sick to my stomach, through with the news & what they pursue I’m slipping slowly into this depression so give me 2 of them.. Pills you say I should use / & if that ain’t enough then do me a favor Give me a few more to get me through / this is to much for me to get use to Killin’ us with prescriptions Thing is, I’ma need a cigarette so I can think then… I can mention These Lies we paid for... Verse 2: So don’t be mad when.. you get what you paid fo And I know that you had intentions but didn’t say so You just tried to play us, we waited & then you laid low All up in my face & im sayin this ain’t game though All I see is the same ol’ / all I hear is the pain All this shit for the fame & it really don’t mean a thing And I’m laying up in the same boat, saying I’ma change Lying to myself, yeah I say it so I’ll be sane Try to justify the way I been sinning, living in vain Sitting inside an industry where they bill you to get a name & karma’s been a btch to me, you should know what I’m saying Cause if you so much as claim it, I’ll wait for you to explain / I’m jaded, losing my way And my faith in all offenders It ain’t hard telling the truth & you shouldn’t have to remember & I never been the type to get stuck up in this world I ain’t lying, ain’t no pride in fuckin’ other niggas girls…
