Jedi Mind Tricks - Trail Of Lies Lyrics & sample
[ Lyrics ]
"So, another year, another drama
She reportedly collapsed at a Hollywood night club
She looked like she was on something
[indistinct] intoxicated
In the land of make believe you are mine
In the land of make believe Im doing fine
In the land of make believe you are mine
In the land of make believe Im doing fine
Turn the television off cousin, that aint nothing for a girl to see
I got a niece and best believe she means the world to me
And she dont need to see the shit they think a girl should be
Ninety-pound skinny bitches, that aint even girl to me
Essentially that shit designed to take a hold of you
Telling lies to your vision, take control of you
They find different ways to take your fucken soul from you
A show about a model make your self-esteem low for you
Everything is fake trust me no one that lovely
I met alotta famous people and they fat and ugly
I aint any better I just think the fact is funny
Dads will take a little girl and pimp her for the cash and money
And whats going to become of them in like fifty years?
When Hannah Montana turning into Britney Spears
They chew you up and spit you out cuz no one really cares
And aint nobody going to hold you when youre really scared
Where their parents at cousin this is really bad
Is this the mutha fucken manager or really Dad?
Is he concerned about his daughter or his silly pad?
This aint going to change nothing, I just think its really sad
In the land of make believe you are mine
In the land of make believe Im doing fine
In the land of make believe you are mine
In the land of make believe Im doing fine
Turn the television off cousin, its a tool for them to clog the mind
Conservatism, liberalism, they divide the line
The natural feelings of a child is to be calm and kind
Then they show you as for the marines and they decide its time
So they can send you to a war behind their fathers crime
Then send you home missing a limb and not provide a dime
Then the news tell you the cops is on the block for people
Ima put it plain and simple, cops is evil
Take the television show Cops for example
Thats the shit they want America to watch and sample
Never showing you how dirty they really is
And that they hide behind their badges and that they really bitch
I aint never met a pig in my life, that I aint want to catch a body on a jig of my knife
[yeh]
Thats another fucken topic for another day
Ima tell you how they try to get you in another way
They tell you theres something wrong with you, you need their drugs
But their aint nothing fucken wrong with you they being thugs
They sell drugs in commercials at the same time
Like a mother fucken up for the same crime
In the land of make believe you are mine
In the land of make believe Im doing fine
In the land of make believe you are mine
In the land of make believe Im doing fine"
Eminem Named Best Rapper Alive
Eminem has been voted the Best Rapper Alive in a new poll by Vibe magazine. He was named number one by readers in an online survey. Eminem beat Jay-Z to the title in the final round of voting with 69 per cent but he doesn’t think any single rapper deserves the title.
“It’s obviously an honour to have won the fans’ support by being voted the Best Rapper Alive. I don’t think that there is any one rapper that is simply the best, though. Everyone who was in consideration and many others are the best at certain things, and at what they do. But since Vibe’s offering the distinction, hell yeah, I’ll accept !”
