they treat me like I’m not here
cause I’m not there
to them reality is excuses
and they don’t even care
Life is never fair
much less laissez faire
it’s disappointing chasing come ups
like smoke in the air
it’s getting harder along the way not to lose your way
Life tests your faith and your pride in the same day
and all the double talk and insinuation getting outta hand
you light that match and burn that bridge when you take a stand
cause the argument was never for the kids’ sake
they rather cultivate hate than alter their fate
and in the end no one wins
cause it’s not a race
but you disseminate
because you rather save face
and the bullshit that you spread can’t cover a lie
and as time flies, they start to realize
what was lost can’t be gained
what’s inherent can’t be trained
and then they question the façade that’s been maintained
then it’s laissez faire
you want to clear the air
but the lies that they’ve been told are too much to bear
and in the end no one wins
cause it’s not a race
