Illusions Lyrics by Smif-N-Wessun

The ALL

2019

[Intro]
Yeah, think, think, think
Boy, hahaha
Now look at this kid, man, look at him, man
Look at this guy

[Verse 1]
How you out here moving dumb acting like life is sweet?
You a grown man, take a stand or be a casualty
Some beef is never ending, war is unpredictable
Can't trust everybody, that includes ya people too
Quick to judge and hate on you, saying how you did them wrong
How the hell is he my man? He ain't even put me on
It get even realer when a brother in his feelings
Depressed and ambitionless, I pray for the children
Some say my suit will make me unrecognizable
Everybody ain't a devil, I can see the god in you
Success come with failure, I been up and I been down too
How you act when you have everything is what defines you
Pray five times a day, tryna find my way
Talk about a weapon, yeah, so now what critics gon' say? Nothing
Gotta dress the part, keep a loyal heart
Told you from the start, only light can remove the dark

[Chorus]
Yeah, you need to stop fuckin' around (Around)
You got your head stuck in the clouds (The clouds)
Don't get caught in all the confusion (Watch)
Success is real, fame is just an illusion
Be yourself, no artificial ingredients (No)
Know your wealth, without health fortune is meaningless (Oh)
Don't be deceived, proceed with what you believing in
Follow your goals and dreams, we plant the seeds in them
Yeah, we plant the seeds in them
Follow your goals and dreams, we plant the seeds in them
What you believing in, follow your goals and dreams

[Verse 2]
Some say when you believe in the unbelievable
That's when you achieve the unachievable
And by applying that work ethic that leaders do
Each effort effective with life aggressor, some methods seem unreasonable
By all means necessary, my worst enemy is me, my own adversary
Know it's hard playing the games God hand ya
You lose when you dealing with delusions of grandeur
Yeah, it's great to have an imagination
Imagine greatness not having to sell your soul to Satan
I walk a crossroads exploring my limitations
All that glitters ain't gold, exposing imitations
Scary what some'll do in moments of desperation
Steps we making and cherishing every breath we take in
But please, don't be mistaken
We enjoin' this race until our final destination

[Chorus]
Yeah, you need to stop fuckin' around (Around)
You got your head stuck in the clouds (The clouds)
Don't get caught in all the confusion
Success is real, fame is just an illusion
Be yourself, no artificial ingredients
Know your wealth, without health fortune is meaningless
Don't be deceived, proceed with what you believing in
Follow your goals and dreams, we plant the seeds in them
Yeah, we plant the seeds in them
Follow your goals and dreams, we plant the seeds in them
What you believing in, follow your goals and dreams
