Irony Lyrics by ProVerb

The Read Tape - Proverb

2015

[Intro by Melina]
Funny how we could still live here
Freezes moments as we standing
No longer looking for indifference
But isn't it Ironic
Things change when you change how you see things


[Verse 1]

Yeah Is it only the blind that truly appreciates sight
Only on your death bed that you appreciate life
Only the deaf appreciate what noise sounds like
And the incarcerated appreciate the outside
It's only when you're give that you truly receive
And it's only whеn something's missing, that you truly need
It's only when you listen that you'rе truly speak
And it took prison to find the long walk to freedom
It takes a real winner to admit the defeat
And it takes the inner strength to admit your weakness
You gotta be a student to be a great teacher
And sometimes, you gotta follow to be a great leader
Often it takes the hard times to truly thrive
And sometimes you gotta fall for you to truly fly
Sometimes it takes darkness to truly shine
And often it's rock bottom for you to truly rise (isn't it ironic)

[Chorus by Melina]
Funny how we could still live here
Isn't it ironic
Freezes moments as we standing
Isn't ironic
No longer looking for indifference
But isn't it Ironic
Things change when you change how you see things

[Verse 2]

Yeah you ever noticed how the younger wannabe older
But then the older would do anything to be young again
A higher worst enemy is some of your friends
Instead of telling them to walk we continue to wrong with them
Sometimes you feel alone in the best company
And sometimes when you are alone you're in the best companee
You gotta lose yourself to get where you wanna be
What's considered valuable could mean nothing to me (isn't it ironic)
The most knowledgeble wanna know more
While the most ignorant are happy to remain so
And love is why many people go to war
And peace is what they're always fighting for (but isn't it ironic)
These companies are nothing sure they're crooks
They will rob you blind while thy force you to look
But me am still an Author that's off the books
Here comes the chorus that off the hook


[Chorus]
But isn't ironic
Funny how we could still live here
Isn't it ironic
Freezes moments as we standing
Isn't it ironic
No longer looking for indifference
But isn't it Ironic
Things channge when you change how you see things
Isn't it ironic

[Verse 3]
A list MC so let me be
And am a slave to these beats coz they set me free
The shine is so blindin as you can see
The rhymes is so fastfoward, they gotta rewind me (isn't it ironic)
Cats got amnesia let me remind them MCs
They're fronting like they're on but they're behind the scenes
Claiming they got it on lock but I find the keys
There dues are fully paid up you see when i recite the free
Am like a pro running a beginner course
Oh better yet the game of rugby on the tennis court
And when ever they finish where the winner starts
And am very out spoken about my inner thoughts (isn't it ironic)
Got my head stuck in the chest I think with a heart then I write untill there's nothing left (Isn't it ironic)
What makes it worse is that he's one of the best, i mean i past verse on some next

[Outro by Melina]
But isn't it ironic
Funny how we could still live here
Isn't it ironic
Freezes moments as we standing
Isn't it ironic
No longer looking for indifference
But isn't it Ironic
Things channge when you change how you see things
But isn't it ironic
Funny how we could still live here
Isn't it ironic
Freezes moments as we standing
Isn't it ironic
No longer looking for indifference
But isn't it Ironic
Things channge when you change how you see things
Isn't it ironic ironic ironic
