T. Karras, Mega Ran - Smoke & Mirrors lyrics

Lot's of fake emcees out there that's right
Let's get them bro
Claiming that they're hard with their bars
They ain't hard i can see right through you
Well I know you ain't mean what you speak
That's right
Everything you say and do is just
Pathetic and weak garbage
Let's go

Now I see you, performing in your fancy garb
Acting tough like you Kendrick Lamar
But, I can see through the facade
You ain’t nothing but a fraud
A wannabe emcee who thinks they
Hard in the yard
Claiming you got ties when you ain’t got jack
Saying you’ve never snitched when
You’re really a rat never shot a gat
You put gimmicks in your rap
And went pop when the sales went flat
What’s up with that?
I can see it in your eyes
You’re a kid in disguise telling lots of lies
Going bigger and bigger like air to a balloon
You constantly fear that your
Career will go boom
If anybody dare finds out who you really are
I don’t drive fancy cars or
Flash a lot of money
But, I ain’t a dummy, I know
I was a fool myself
But then I took a step back and said
Screw selling out

You ain’t nothing but smoke and mirrors
There ain’t nothing about you
That makes you real
You ain’t nothing but smoke and mirrors
All the words you sayin’ are lies and spiel

I can smell a fakesta from a mile away
Sayin’ they lived in the ghetto
When that’s a false claim
I’m middle class myself
I’m admitting that right now
So you can’t say that I’m a fraud and a clown
I listened to the beats, studied the lyrics
I got knowledge in me so I can kill it
You can’t even spit, you got ghostwriters
I listened to your music
And it sounds uninspired
How can you even match up
To the title of emcee
Especially when you are low quality
You’ve got no vision on your own
They’re talking in your ear
A&R execs dictating your entire career
That’s why I’ll last
While you become the past trends move fast
Especially when your music is trash
Who cares if you’re number one
Longevity matters
That’s why my fanbase gets fatter
It’s cause I put in the hard work and effort

You ain’t nothing but smoke and mirrors
There ain’t nothing about you
That makes you real
You ain’t nothing but smoke and mirrors
All the words you sayin’ are lies and spiel

Mega Ran, let's go
I can see through the smoke and mirrors
Adjust my glasses, make the focus clearer
Objects are never as real as they appear
Cause, I hear you've been living
In fear your whole career
I've been here, holding it down
Homie you walked in
When it's clear you ain't comfortable
Up in your own skin
Cold soldier with golden controllers
I'm a freestyle machine
You can hold the soda
Follow the leader, get topped up with heaters
Ain't no beatin' this joint cause
There's no stoppin' us either
We unlock the procedures to break
The body in pieces
We keep the combos high meter like I was Maju
Vagetta i fill loose leaf tablets that
Kept the beat average
Now I leave Paris to link with T karras
8-bit, writers guild rep
But, I've been practiced 10 years
And I'm still fresh yes

You ain’t nothing but smoke and mirrors
There ain’t nothing about you
That makes you real
You ain’t nothing but smoke and mirrors
All the words you sayin’ are lies and spiel
You ain’t nothing but smoke and mirrors
There ain’t nothing about you
That makes you real
You ain’t nothing but smoke and mirrors
All the words you sayin’ are lies and spiel
