Recorded at EarArt Studios by Tim Neuhaus
lyrics
This picture's taken of these god's among us it's a
part of our lives
It's all just faking as this man shakes my trust it's been
racking my mind
An artists lacking if his word aint his bond or do we
live this facade
Thinkin i know him cause i love all his songs but I've been
wrong from the start
I know its not that simple idols they come they go
but to me he was a symbol, guess I should've known
all this platinum and gold, would take a part of your soul
all this platinum and gold
Our lives adjacent to these kids who trust us just keep it,
out of you mind.
This portraits painted of a life drenched in lust to see it
could take you alive.
I'm sick of waitin second guess what i trust but one man
won't change my art.
Met inspiration he was cold he was false
i guess it tears you apart.
I know its not that simple idols they come they go
but to me he was a symbol, guess I should've known
all this platinum and gold, would take a part of your soul
all this platinum and gold
I watched my idol fall 40 bottle polished clean
and he was the first who taught me not to believe
in a gangsta's dream
Hip-Hopcracies a bitch as he downs another fifth
up the ignorance just a bit with ever single sip
Ya know its not the man you used to be but more the man you choose to be what you gave through the mic is fallacy that gets to me.
Singing now Im sober hope you saw my cold shoulder,
They say your views change every day you grow older i put that ink to my skin to remind me back when, it was me sis n pops singin califnornication.
Up with the birds you know he shares that lonely view but i guess its our fault cause we put him on that pedestal.
