Lake

from Inner Thoughts by Mfasis

lyrics

I woke up today

I dream about cake 

Big fish in a lake

They use me as bait

Don't try me today 

I no longer wait

They boxed me out

I'm finding a way 



They fill me with rage

They'd rather see me dead or in a cage

From a young age 

I knew after death is when you're praised

Life is a maze

We search to get back to the good ole days 

Nostalgia is craved 

But what can I crave when my past was pain?

The world was insane 

They ain't care about my character or my brain

They viewed me the same

As criminals with grillz and a chain 

Heroes die in vain

Cause kinfolk rather see you slain 

Then they're singing your name

The hood's a waste of time, it will never change 



I woke up today

I dream about cake 

Big fish in a lake

They use me as bait

Don't try me today 

I no longer wait

They boxed me out

I'm finding a way 



I'm not ya homie

You want to enrich you and your cronies 

I think that's phony

With friends like that, I'd rather be lonely

Your disdain for me

Is clear as day, the resentment is deep

When you're mentioning me 

You're pissed that flames are released when my pen is unleashed

You envy my talents

And the skills and the brain I easily balance

You're drowning in malice

Demonizing a King won't build you a palace 

My hands now have Callus 

From stiff arming leeches who always act childish

Scumbags are the proudest

The Weakest in the room is always the loudest



I woke up today

I dream about cake 

Big fish in a lake

They use me as bait

Don't try me today 

I no longer wait

They boxed me out

I'm finding a way 



They need a campaign

To raise money for nefarious things 

Your body's a prop

They don't give a damn that your neighbor got shot 

They scream F the cops

Their real plot is to see you get dropped

Then they'll have you doxxed 

Cause their soul is ice shaped like a block 

Their for the culture? Please stop

I hope they're soul eternally rot

They pushing ideals 

Distract you from the fact that they blatantly steal

You waiting for meals

But I can see they're tossing you crumbs 

All of us aren't dumb

Your soul is a lake they drain 'til they get you numb 



I woke up today

I dream about cake 

Big fish in a lake

They use me as bait

Don't try me today 

I no longer wait

They boxed me out

I'm finding a way 



Surrounded by corruption, they all compromised 

I stomp the lies from activists who prophesied a revolution, you ever met a nuisance who thinks your dead body has better uses than resting in peace? Dead men bring wallets relief 

Create confusion, that's a problem with me

Illusions from the media's collusion 

They're full of it... like an ad for Metamucil 

A better future is what you're building for your Cartel only ... your 2 cents may be useless, but its far from lonely 

Souls can't be bounded by chains when they're grounded in truth

Yeah its clear that I'm the fountain of youth..

They gas lighting and I found that as proof  

They use me as bait to reel in the riches they can't swim in to grab themselves

I can tell, they're a walking sickness 

They have a wish list and we're just useless fishes if we can't be the tools to bring the gifts they see on pinterest 

That's a coded sentence cause the WOKE media so offended they're mad that I don't have a Co-defendant the only time I kill's on rhymes cause I'm the coldest wit it, there's no pretending that I'm not an Outcast and the flows acidic

I'm in the dungeon and ima outlast every chosen menace 

 Who selling loud packs with the poles extended 

Yeah they doubt that and I'm so offended 

Im not about it but I can't keep losing 

I'm just tired of Everybody trying to use me
