K Semp - The Cake Lyrics

K Semp
The lies we tell

Lies popping off like a Smith and Wesson
Tryna steal the show like Esau's blessing
Better slow your roll or you gonna learn your lesson
Corporate greed, yup, that's a new age oppression

Yea, eh yo, money's the obsession
Say what they need to keep your wallet stressing
They messing around with matters of mind
Hoping you don't find out that you're just a blind mouse in the system

Everything is all about the profit
Big Mac and cheese
Obey my steeze, please
You're eating rice and pease
It cost more to be poor
Just check the bank fees, let'm know

Lies popping off like a Smith and Wesson
Tryna steal the show like Esau's blessing (Just let'm know)
Better slow your roll or you gonna learn your lesson
Corporate greed, yup, that's a new age oppression (Just let'm know)

They say
Take your number, know your place in the system
Await to be instructed, accept what you've been given
You don't have to think for yourself
We got that covered
Just keep working hard and hating on each other

If y'all gonna win
Then all'a them gotta lose
Weak dudes get confused
Keep'm singing the blues
Life's tougher in your shoes
And this is your story
All they want is your time, your money and your glory, your cake

It doesn't matter
What's on your mind
What matters is on your screen
Backspace and delete

Everything that you've seen in a book or on TV
The internet is the truth, believe and be set free

They say
Do as your told, there's cake
It's at the end
The cake
It is your friend
The cake
Will make amends
The cake
Will make sense of mistakes past tense
Bring happiness riches
And most of all, fulfilment
The feeling will be so filling
The filling, berries or lemon

The cake
Keeps us in line
The cake
It's hard to find
The cake you cannot taste
The cake is a lie

Lies popping off like a Smith and Wesson
Tryna steal the show like Esau's blessing (The cake is a lie)
Better slow your roll or you gonna learn your lesson
Corporate greed, yup, that's a new age oppression (The cake is a lie)
