Pigeon John - Deception lyrics

rate me

[Intro]

Shake it off. Lord, I won't do this song

This is a fight with myself

I wanna gain much wealth

I wanna live by myself

But I'm surrounded by..

I'll keep that to myself

I'm so stupid

[Verse]

Well hello my little friends and look at them run

I'm still at home with no ends and look at them run

Hopping in a tricked out Benz and look at them run

While I'm clocking in as a temp look at them run

It is too late now to affect the whole world, or is it just dated now?

They could care less who invaded now

Really am I silly with the dreams of the milli'?

Top billing with a big fat record deal-ly

First I buy a house way up on the hill-ly

Then I get a girly dressed like Mr. Furley

Met her in Nashville or was it Philly?

Her hair so curly and look at me burly

But my dream deferred, I felt the same words that Langston heard

I watched them pass and it seemed absurd

A decade of dreaming

And it seeming that they just run away with my verbs

And its..

[CHORUS]

Deception. Look at them dancing in the field goal

Deception. I look at me and I'm getting old

Deception. How many records have I really sold?

Deception. Whoops I did it again boy. [x2]

[Verse]

Ten years ago I woke up with a dream in my hand

Ran for a couple of yards, but tripped and fell to my hands

And then got up because the Lord Almighty told me He can

Ran for a couple of more, and tripped and fumbled again

And people asking what you getting up for go get a job

but I gotta carry out this dream or my life I rob

And when I'm gonna work for 45 years up in the mall

And when I'm old and gray wondering where's my calling?

And I'd rather die now than never wonder how

Never ever try now

Coulda' woulda' shoulda' will be

All I sigh how Can I live a mediocre

Life and not ever ask you why

Are we hear specifically not mundane

But a gifted people

We must shine and it must be equal

Live your life cause there is no sequel

Oh it's a reception

[CHORUS]

[Bridge]

Hey, Hey, wait I'm called to do something

I don't know exactly what it is but I'm hunting

Getting lost in this record biz and I'm fumbling

Oops I did it again boy

[REPEAT]

[CHORUS x2]
