Lyrics
NzA Ft Propaganda – Lying Behind Rhymes
[Intro – Verse 1 : NzA]
Frontin’ about ice is nice
But it’s worth less than a slice of rice if you're forced to lose your life
I dun seen and watched my peeps down in the strife
Committing street crimes daily and avoiding the hype
Adrenalin pumping from echoing shells
Drug deal turn sour my ears ringing like bells
Thoughts aside from cash, h0es and repping the spot
Survival against criminals where you shoot or get shot
Real to core, you’ll never comprehend what I saw
My own bredrin, boared, shot and locked out the door
Helpless to watch with a gun to my brain
Smacked up the bouncer and clutched my Ohm chain
Looking for an exit or a cliché airplane
But my hopes of survival were routed in vein
Running from the thugs, gangsters and murderous killers
Isn’t what it cracked up to be in your escapade thrillers
Emotions wild with hate, anger and fear
A shell piercing my stomach, sharp as a spear
Thoughts of seeing a bright tunnel vividly appeared
Could it be that my ending was finally near?
Back to reality and I’m entirely surrounded
Blood pouring out my gut and my heart over pounding
I look up one last time to God with love
Please send me a signal from heaven above
Suddenly an array of shells begin to spray
Not from the henchmen but ma dawgs from round the way
Handed me a weapon, precise and lethal
Rolled my finger round the potent deadly desert eagle
Eyes scan the area, for my homebouys killer
Spot him running so I swiftly release the trigger
No second thoughts, revenge sold entire dominance
Heart too filled with anger to realize the total consequence
[Chorus: Propaganda]
Damn right Nza, we real to the core
This is a Hip Hop story, you wanna hear more
We don’t play games, we live to convey
The things that go on, you don’t know our way
Lying behind rhymes, serves no purpose
You think you so real, you only scratch the surface
P and Nza, there ain’t no way to denounce
Nth State muthafcuka, you only heard it announced
[Chapter 2 - Verse 2 : NzA]
Locked down in prison
For using a Smith & Wesson
10 years to life, like hell I’m stressing
Chilling with brehs reminiscing on old times
Rollin up dutches and committing street crimes
Now I’m locked up for pulling my finger on a trigger
I lay back in ma cell wishing time would move quicker
Provide crooked cops with some weed for a rizla
So they hit me back and supply me with some liquor
Now I contemplate life and the way I’ve changed
The sacrifices made, and the prices been paid
Out here it’s every man for himself
Look at a bruva funny expect to get dealt
Knives at your throat, irrelevant of wealth
Causing uproars coz I’m awarded with respect
Bruvaz start hatin, runnin moufs grabbin techs
I simply mind my biz n shot some cigarettes
Since born taught to live never having regrets
Minding my own, I hear word that heads want beef
Like a soldier in wrong territory, destined for defeat
Guys from both sides attack mans with knives
Bredrins leaving my side and dropping like flies
This pursue of killing lives will make a bruva cry
So I pull out a nine and start defending mine
No more running, confronting destiny with fate
The story ends abruptly with a barrel to my face
[Chorus: Propaganda]
[Conclusion - Verse 3: NzA ]
This lyrical mirage was written to expose raps fasard
Coz I control the mic, no A&R’s in charge
Fcuk the industry which is conspired by commercial actors
Cross-dressed molesters who imitate being rappers
Fake thug talk, glock holdin and n image conspeculation
Is this the lifestyle we propose for the younger generation?
Rappers lie in their lines on a daily basis
Your favourite emcee real as a peaceful racist
To avoid being fooled read between the lines
Conduct your research and open up your mind
Avoid the hype behind the mic
To reveal what a real emcee is truly like
A personal message to fakes addressed from me
Next time you attemp
