Bobby J from Rockaway - Everybody Knows (feat. Vivian Green) Lyrics

Everybody knows the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

I see what you're tryna be
Lie to everybody else, you can't lie to me
I know some things are probably better kept privately
But today I got time, got time for me?
I don't hear your lips moving but my eyes can see
It's so hard for you to disguise the lies, deceit
But honestly, this is my time to speak
Took my kindness for weakness?
Shit, fine with me
Got, skeletons in my closet I'ma break em out
Every time I give an inch you just take a mile
Miss me with your fake daps and your faker smiles
Congratulations, shows over, take a bow
Never thought that I would say aloud what I'm saying now
So let's put it on the table I'ma lay it out
And keep it real, while you keep it fake with me
I keep my lips sealed so your secret's safe with me
But

Everybody knows the boat is leaking
Everybody knows the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolate
And a long-stemmed rose
Everybody knows

Remember? We were like best friends
Way back when, we were like freshman
And my feelings never wavered
I consider you my dog to this day but you treat me like less than
Just a whole different energy
New personality, whole new identity
Let's put the ego and bravado aside
I'll swallow my pride
I can't keep this bottled inside
So here goes (Goes)
As the years go by (By)
I keep thinking bout the days we was like brothers (Now)
We appear foes (Foes), I don't know why (Why)
We were supposed to take flight like the Wright Brothers
Right brother? You were my keeper too
I guess things change, so do people too
But you can't blame people for what people do
Cause

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Nobody gotta know that the only one that you care about is yourself cause you selfish
Nobody gotta know, I ain't gonna air you out
I did everything to help cause I'm selfless
Nobody gotta know you fronting
Shut don't worry bout it bro you don't owe me nothing
So don't doubt the truth in these lyrics
And I'm talking bout who? If the shoe fits, wear it

And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach if Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this sacred heart
Before it blows
Everybody knows
