"Lying Man" lyrics
JZAC & Gringo the MC Lyrics
[JZAC:]
When they tellin' stories 'bout me
They'll never say I was a lyin' man (A lyin' man)
The truth will set you free, well, it hasn't worked for me
Fuck it, let me go and switch up my entire plan
Never wanna lie, cheat, steal
But it might be time to try my hand (I'll try my hand)
Maybe I'll go further in this world if I turn into a lyin' man, I'll be a lyin' man
In a world that's full of evil where the good guy tries
To save the world, but the good guy dies
Should keep on askin', "Where the good guys hide?"
But won't hesitate to kick 'em to the curb
Every single time a good guy slides
They said to be a good samaritan, try our best
Don't go lyin' to the IRS, you better pay up
I saw you step on every person on the way up
And life rewarded you, now it's a layup (Hey, hey, hey, heheh)
I've seen some backstabbing, rattrapping
No-good-intention-having people find an easy way to the top
And I'm not sayin' it didn't come back to bite 'em in the ass
But sometimes it really makes you stop and think
What if I didn't take the high road?
When they tellin' stories 'bout me
They'll never say I was a lyin' man (A lyin' man)
The truth will set you free, well, it hasn't worked for me
Fuck it, let me go and switch up my entire plan
Never wanna lie, cheat, steal
But it might be time to try my hand (I'll try my hand)
Maybe I'll go further in this world if I turn into a lyin' man, I'll be a lyin' man
[Gringo the MC:]
Maybe if I bought some likes and followers, and held the [?]
In pictures like I'm ballin', I'll be on
Or maybe if we took the time to chop it up
We find that we've been proppin' up the pedophiles and violence all along
See, maybe life an appetizer in an olive garden
In a bigger universe, and our creator's tryna see
If I put the potential of a god into the mental of a dog
Is he gon' live his truth for what it's meant to be?
Or is he gon' try for a lil' power
Trade his life from his [?] just to feel the vibe
A liar dies every time he forget a lie
A lion really only dies when he really dies
[JZAC:]
When they tellin' stories 'bout me
They'll never say I was a lyin' man (A lyin' man)
The truth will set you free, well, it hasn't worked for me
Fuck it, let me go and switch up my entire plan
Never wanna lie, cheat, steal
But it might be time to try my hand (I'll try my hand)
Maybe I'll go further in this world if I turn into a lyin' man, I'll be a lyin' man
Every politician is a piece of shit
Most celebrities are a piece of shit
Half these millionaires are a piece of shit
Wait, maybe I should turn into a piece of shit
And finally get these loans paid
And cover all these health insurance costs without deductibles and co-pays
I'm waitin' on the okay
Things were goin' good, I got ahead
Until I hit a low and had a couple slow days
Man, I just wanna better my fam, this a honest day's work
I'm 'boutta trade it all in and do some credit card scams
Or start a charity for clarity, supportin' a cause
Keep the money, don't report it as fraud
Please, I'm beggin' you, shh
When they tellin' stories 'bout me
They'll never say I was a lyin' man (A lyin' man)
The truth will set you free, well, it hasn't worked for me
Fuck it, let me go and switch up my entire plan
Never wanna lie, cheat, steal
But it might be time to try my hand (I'll try my hand)
Maybe I'll go further in this world if I turn into a lyin' man, I'll be a lyin' man
In a world that's full of evil where the good guy tries
