Hopsin - Fly lyrics
rate me(Verse)
I was taught that education was the only way to make it
Then how'd I get so much money inside my savings?
My teachers never saw the heights that I was fuckin’ aimin’
Did the man who invented college, go to college?
Hm, ok then, am I the only one who noticed humans on the same shit?
Y'all thoughts are sailin’ on the same ship
And if that's the case, then that's the reason that you ain't shit
Let me enlighten you my nigga, just let your brain drift
First off, the best type of markin’
Is marketin’ that doesn't feel like marketin’
It makes the people feel like they apart of it
And when it's done right, corporations think it’s marvelous
They feed us these ideas and then we place ‘em in our hearts to sit
It's why players are good at gettin’ chicks
It's why Nike is good at sellin’ kicks
It's why Disney is loved by all the kids
Why McDonald's owners are super rich
We too blinded to ever see them pitch
See when this happens we take our health, wealth, lives and just hand ‘em off
Thinking that we did this from organic thoughts
I know you seen parents trick kids with candy, toys, and Santa Claus
The same method is used to trap adults
But instead of candy now are money, religion, drugs and alcohol
Mention that shit and its go arouse us all
I done seen niggas get into fights over cigarettes like a pack of dogs
They get you hooked and then they laugh at y'all
(Hook)
I really hate to break it to you but you're life's bein’ play with
You have not witnessed the world cuz you're stuck in the Matrix
Everythin’ we built on, have been taught is all a lie
Open your eyes, open your mind, and fly
(Verse)
Man, can't you see we're robots who know not
What we do when we have no shot
In the real world until we climb out of this ice cold box
Your all life has been part of a whole plot
To keep you at the bottom while they on top
Stay quiet and they won't stop
They always try to show us what we don't got
They do it to all of us ‘til we finally break and go cop us a gold watch
Knowin’ we need the cash for rent
My ass is sick just thinking about how rich
And powerful all these bastards get
They package ideas like its oxygen
They make us feel as if we don't got it we fucked and we cannot fit in
This fuckin’ system is not your friend
And understand they controllin’ your thoughts cuz they got a lot to win
Niggas get turned away when I mention this
Ignorance is bliss but I don't give a fuck
I don't censor shit, the Matrix is real when you invented it
It's way too intricate, for you to ever realize that you're a fuckin’ simpleton
(Hook])
(Verse)
Yo, fuck Hollywood, fuck all these reality shows
Makin’ us feel lame unless we're blowing’stacks on new clothes
Makin’ us feel like we ain't cool unless we have a few hoes
Makin’ us feel like we ugly, unless we have a new nose
I see naturally beautiful women get Botox, fake tits, fake lips
They so brainwashed and it doesn't make sense
Focus on your life and the path you're pursuin’
Cuz you're all too busy worried ‘bout what Kim Kardashian was doin’
Check it, most of this shit that you sheep are watchin’ on television is fake as fuck and is not real
I rebel against it, it's the Devils business, they just reel y'all in
If they say it, we do it, yo, I'm tryna tell y'all man
The system created the stereotype for the Black image
That's why my people are scared to be different, why don't you get it?
I'm done practicin’ these ridiculous rituals
It's time I become a real individual, just do me
(Hook)
