Not What It Seems
Unveiling Life's Illusions: Not What It Seems by Can't 'Si' Me
Lyrics
Now a days it is not what it seems, yeah
Nowadays, reality is often different from appearances.
Now a days it is not what it seems
Reiteration of the idea that things are not as they seem in contemporary times.
They making a joke outta living your dreams
People mock the pursuit of one's dreams, turning it into a joke.
I don't care if you serving to fiends, or you bussing your card, or you pack in your jeans
Indifference towards others' activities as long as it generates income.
As long as it bringing in green, you moving it clean, who knows you might fuck with the team
Approval of earning money legitimately, possibly with a group (the team).
Im looking for plugs to build, if he gonna benefit not everybody a eat
Seeking connections that bring mutual benefits, emphasizing shared success.
If im gonna keep it real, half of the bridges you burned coulda been the one out
Regret over burned bridges and missed opportunities.
If only you knew the real things that I've done you might look at me different not call me your son, mom
Revelation of undisclosed actions that might change perceptions.
Sorry I roll with a gun if im keeping it real none of this shit be fun, no
Acknowledgment that a dangerous lifestyle isn't enjoyable.
I wanna go tropical maps & just bring out the fam don't want live in the trap
Desire to escape a troubled environment and bring family together.
But if I just sit live in the trap, and step on a rat then that's my life getting wrapped im trapped
Fear of being trapped in a negative cycle with potential consequences.
Next thing I know that im tapped im calling up numbers not calling me back its facts
Feeling monitored and ignored, possibly in a difficult situation.
Im tired of wasting my time I don't give out my time please don't give out my line
Value placed on time, reluctance to waste it on unproductive pursuits.
Whipping my elbow 360 degrees, got a 8 of the wock in the freezer to freeze
Reference to drug-related activities and the cost of doing business.
One thing about business is nothing is free
Assertion that nothing in business comes for free.
If you looking for handouts then don't look at me
Resistance to providing handouts, prioritizing self-sufficiency.
They look at me funny whenever I speak
Perceived judgment from others when expressing oneself.
I gotta side that they don't wanna see
Having a hidden side that others may not want to see or understand.
Im planning my years im not planning my weeks
Planning for the long term rather than short-term goals.
Im pushing a button accel on the speed
Driving forward with determination and speed.
When I turn the oven 300 degrees
Symbolic reference to turning up the heat or intensity.
Im using a service that's covered in trees
Utilizing a service that is abundant and readily available.
Im cooking in chunks the rest I don't need
Efficient use of resources, discarding unnecessary elements.
They want me to stay but I gotta leave
Feeling the need to move on despite external expectations.
Got family and people depending on me
Responsibility towards family and others who rely on the person.
Mmmm depending on me, mmmm depending on me
Emphasis on the weight of dependence from various perspectives.
Mmmm depending on me, mmmm depending on me, mmmm depending on me
Continuation of the theme of dependence and responsibility.
One mistake was giving my heart, since then its feeling apart
Regret over a past emotional investment that went wrong.
Since a kid showed no face, no face, no way
Growing up without revealing vulnerabilities or emotions.
Its only trust myself its otm or it is no way
Self-reliance as a guiding principle, with little trust in others.
Just trying to stack my paper for a super rainy cold day
Focused on financial stability for unpredictable future challenges.
Now a days it is not what it seems
Reiteration of the theme that appearances can be deceiving.
They making a joke outta living your dreams
Repetition of the idea that dreams can be ridiculed in the current environment.
I don't care if you serving to fiends, or you bussing your card, or you pack in your jeans
Acceptance of diverse ways of earning a living, as long as it's profitable.
As long as it bringing in green, you moving it clean, who knows you might fuck with the team
Encouragement for legitimate and clean financial activities within a group.
Im looking for plugs to build, if he gonna benefit not everybody a eat
Continued pursuit of beneficial connections for mutual growth.
If im gonna keep it real, half of the bridges you burned coulda been the one out
Reflecting on missed opportunities due to damaged relationships.
If only you knew the real things that I've done you might look at me different not call me your son, mom
A plea for understanding and empathy given undisclosed experiences.
Sorry I roll with a gun if im keeping it real none of this shit be fun, no
Acknowledgment that a dangerous lifestyle isn't enjoyable.
I wanna go tropical maps & just bring out the fam don't want live in the trap
Desire to escape a troubled environment and bring family together.
But if I just sit live in the trap, and step on a rat then that's my life getting wrapped im trapped
Fear of being trapped in a negative cycle with potential consequences.
Next thing I know that im tapped im calling up numbers not calling me back its facts
Feeling monitored and ignored, possibly in a difficult situation.
Im tired of wasting my time I don't give out my time please don't give out my line
Value placed on time, reluctance to waste it on unproductive pursuits.
Whipping my elbow 360 degrees, got a 8 of the wock in the freezer to freeze
Reiteration of drug-related activities and the cost of doing business.
