Idol Minds Lyrics by Dereau

Work In Progress

2011

[Verse 1: Dereau]
Montage of success, the Tiger Gina's hair salon
Take a threat and set it up like Siderbaum
Sodom and Gomorrah, just the saddest song
One day you're here baby boy then the next you're gone
Same story, life hellish like Dannemora
Pop told me he the Heir Apparent, way over 40
Had the world lost it, few times over
Guess respect and feeling like a somebody most important
No age limit windows tinted
My God what becomes of a Idol Mind
Niggas out here wasting time, debt to they waistline
Rum got me slumped, I picture a free Palestine
Success like you that nigga in ya Idol's eyes
Freebase this track, old school like 85
I feel a lost cause trying to free 85s
Still maintain this 8 to 5, I'm trying to stay alive
[Hook: Dereau]
My God My God My God what becomes of a Idol Mind
My God Life's Hard, It happens every time
[Hook: Kino Watson]
This little Idol Mind
O Oh O Oh
Idol Mind Idol Mind
[Verse 2: Dereau]
Don't mistake my enemies to be your friends
The devil outside but the truth within
Just stopped my Aunt's relapse, that's nothin
She kept me from being kicked outta ma duke stomach
Look around, all I see is the suffering
Niggas gay for a check, the shit is disgusting
Deumanize black males like we nothin
Better man up and let broth fill yo cupboard
Confirm my worst fears we live in the last years
Enough to take a grown man, bring him to tears
My God what becomes of a Idol Mind
My God who you gon send to lead the blind
One day boy you gon be our preacher
A burglar is better, least you know they stealing
Ask God for the truth and pray he reveal it
But it's locked in the Vatican, It's one big secret
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Dereau]
Yeah I made a little money, it's gone now
Life like a creek so I'm putting my toes down
Line my dress pants and wait for the showdown
And thank God that I got something to show now
Cause words cause movements, telekinesis
Trying to move through the Matrix and pick the leeches
Won't yield for the money the fame or the women
But thank God I walked in before she tried to end it
[Hook]
[Bridge: Dereau]
Dereau Kino Young Oz
The devil tempts every man
But A Idol Mind tempts the devil, AJ
[Spoken Word: AJ]
Oceans oscillate us all apart from actuality and I am but an isolate isle
Watching sanity smile beneath the canopy of our past lives
That keep me rolling like tides but I'm sure
As if we were nomads with no gods
Trying to fight against the odds
But we never give our lies to break even
So you'll notice that, no man ever makes it in time to believe in
That's when we find ourselves
Still alive, But each breathe-in's uncertain
Still lurking on waves gone by
Looking down despite the skies
Cause passive eyes never cried for my demons
And time waits for no season, nor reason at all
No purpose nor Poise
Just lost little boys making castles out of sand to spite the water
As we drift alone and fade into that midnight curtain
Steady wishin on waves gone by
Stars, nice cars, and those material things that never bring you happiness
But we continue to scheme
We never seem to wake up
We love the glitz and the gleam
But hate the work that make it worth it, it's a pitiful thing
Idolizing the dream
But idol eyes never seen below the surface know that worth lies in your purpose
Peace
