Hiphop has long been an artform based on authenticity. Still, so many people in hiphop, as well as in life, are confused as to who they are. Scratches by Tobotius. Beat by Ill Poetic, from the album "To Mock A Killingbird".

Odub

Hiphop used to mean something, and Odub believes that it still can. Inspired by real life, he is more interested in making good music that people can relate to

Hip Hop has gotten too hard core. Simple. I take it down a notch....back to the days when rappers had more to talk about than guns, money, jewels, cars and women. Rap with a message, and well, some just for the flow of it.

Independent artist Odub drops "Self Deception", a Hip-Hop track on SoundClick. It is the kind of track that finds the right moment to make itself heard. Representing the charismatic sound of hip-hop in Ohiohiphop, this track speaks for itself. If Hiphop is your sound, "Self Deception" is a strong addition to your playlist.

Lyrics

[intro] 
You could scout (Scout) for gems (Jems), never find your jewels 
In the attic is (Atticus) where the punishment is due 
You all about your boo (Boo), better prime your troops 
Gonna panic when the guns are pointed at you. 

[hook] 
We all got a little bit of evil inside us 
We all feel fear even if we can hide it 
You see your own reflection when you stand beside it 
But is it really you or is your mind just lyin? 

Yeah, We all got a little bit of evil inside us 
We all feel fear even if we can hide it 
You see your own reflection when you stand beside it 
But is it really you or is your mind just lyin? 

[verse 1] 
Has your mind been lyin? 
Your lies been tryin to hold it back? 
Bought your image, sold it back? 
Can't withold the facts, your cold feet ain't quick enough to react 
You're a civilian on a soldier track 
Now how is it that every emcee in the street 
Sold crack so he could make ends meet? 
When half of you rappers are actors 
Actually cleanin floors at Burger King 
And never so much as even seen a murder scene 
You heard of me. I'm in the shadows lurkin 
Don't sleep 'cause I'm always workin 
It takes a certain version of person to raise the curtains 
Make halfway gangsters feel so uncertain, but 
If the truths a burden and your back is hurtin 
From this load you shouldered 
You should roll away the boulder 
Fold the shame 
Or just roll in the flames till your soul is smolderin. 

[hook] 

[verse 2] 
That puzzle piece didn't quite fit, 
It's a tight fit, not the right fit 
So you forced it and flaunted it 
Not that you needed it, only that you wanted it 
Never that you lived it, only that you fronted it 
Lies are a cunning bitch and you must be the son of it 
Running but the brunt of it will hit you like a ton of bricks 
You're not your bank account, you are not your crystal candlesticks 
Live for what you're crossin from your bucket list, 
Fuck your shit 
Why you burden us with this? Tyler Durden duckin fists 
Fuckin up the upper crust who judgin on some sucker shit 
Not just make a buck or quit, I do this for the love of it 
Thought that you could block it but persistence always circumvents 
I heard that you were murderous, not really concerned with it 
In spite of all the turbulence, I can see your nervousness 
I'm certain it's nothing more than being purposeless 
Expose your insecurities, eternally a journalist 

[hook]
