Illusions Lyrics by Mxngo

Awoken

2023

{Verse 1}
I see myself livin’ in a world of success
But it ain’t like what’s told by the rest
My only competitor is all of this stress
That keeps me from being my best
Riding the wave, but I only want crests
Needa remember how much I am blessed
They're making me into more of a mess
I wish that they'd stop saying yes
Cause they're getting me deep in the thoughts of my mind
I swear this happens every time
But I'm straight, as long as I stick to my grind
I hope you see what I'm implying
There's too many snakes on this laddеr I climb
Tryna pull on me, keep me behind
Can't tеll if its a test or I'm getting a sign
That I need to stop while I'm trying
It’s too hard to see which side’s telling the truth
Should I give up, or stay in pursuit?
I thought that by now I’d be making it through
Thought I’d stick to the paper like glue
And I ain’t like the rest that be actin like goons
I’m smarter than all those buffoons
This pressure’s been too tight, when will it be loose?
I thought by now I’d have a clue

{Chorus}
Illusions (illusions, illusions, illusions)
I keep seeing my future self suffer from what I am doing (doing, doing, doing)
You'd think if I made it, then there wouldn’t be anymore losing (losing, losing, losing)
You make it to that number 1 spot, then you find nothing soothing (soothing, soothing, soothing)
That’s what I thought too, man this life is so confusing (fusing, fusing, fusing)
But know that I won’t be like others that’re power abusing (busing, busing, busing)
I tell ‘em to wake up and listen, but they keep on snoozing (snoozing, snoozing, snoozing)
They think all of this is a game, they just find it amusing (musing, musing, musing)
Can’t blame anyone but myself, this is my own choosing

{Verse 2}
I see it so vivid, I’m clearly in pain
This system has put me insane
The irony is it’s all blurry by rain
But the message is clearer than day
I’m praying that isn’t gonna be my fate
It probably will be, at this rate
Do I keep going or should I stay the same?
Cause now this dream just seems vain
Is there any worth in practicing this pursuit?
Right now, I’m thinking there’s no use
Unless me and the world wanna make a truce
So then I don’t end up abused
And then I won’t end up like me in my vision
Just gotta make sure I’m persistent
With this in my mind, I’ll finish my mission
And I’ll conquer all of these decisions

{Chorus}
Illusions (illusions, illusions, illusions)
I keep seeing my future self suffer from what I am doing (doing, doing, doing)
You'd think if I made it, then there wouldn’t be anymore losing (losing, losing, losing)
You make it to that number 1 spot, then you find nothing soothing (soothing, soothing, soothing)
That’s what I thought too, man this life is so confusing (fusing, fusing, fusing)
But know that I won’t be like others that’re power abusing (busing, busing, busing)
I tell ‘em to wake up and listen to me, but they keep on snoozing (snoozing, snoozing, snoozing)
They think all of this is a game, they just find it amusing (musing, musing, musing)
Can’t blame anyone but myself, this is my own choosing
