illusion

[Intro] It's all an illusion (ooh-yeah) [Verse 1] Chasin' euphoria through media Searchin' for more clothes, more cars, more hoes, more ways that shows We're in a state of bliss (or) That's what we insist on Must admit, it must feel kinda shit To live like that, worryin' 'bout Who's on the list, who's got the most chicks Sellin' your rover 'cause you needed a benz Discoverin' new gadgets and new trends The amount of cars you've got makes you a better man Gotta look like that, to become a friend Forever chasin' that heavenly lifestyle Drivin' miles to get the newest purse Piles of one-time-used clothes Thrivin' in the land of fabricated hope A temporary release goin' up in smoke [Chorus] Materialistic, not that realistic That's why we chase it The world's too real to face it Can't comprehend it, oh The materialistic illusion Functions as a solution In reality, it's a prison Take a breath and listen [Verse 2] Findin' new ways to celebrate every day Plannin' your life down to the second Apparently that's how to behave Gas yourself up, don't worry 'bout what you're lackin' Actin' chill, though you hurry a lot Scary times call for carin' minds Don't ever spill your boilin' hot Usin' credit cards for sharin' lines Rottin' from the inside But look in your garage See how many cars you've got Ain't no need for advice Just gotta haul ass through life Pour another drink and immerse Remember the motto to keep ya hype You first in the universe [Chorus] Materialistic, not that realistic That's why we chase it The world's too real to face it Can't comprehend it, oh The materialistic illusion Functions as a solution In reality, it's a prison Take a breath and listen [Bridge] Thinkin' wealth and luxury will bring us peace But it's just an illusion, (oooh-ooooooh) Thinkin' wealth and luxury will bring us peace But it's just an illusion, (oooh-ooooooh) [Verse 3] Accumulatin' random objects to hide the pain Searchin' for joy in things you don't need Usin' possessions to show the gain Deep down inside you know It won't succeed Tryna' colorize what's black and white Tryna' separate the bad from the wrong Tryna' keep up with the guy that's been Tryna' keep up with the guy that's got the newest stuff Fear of missin' out 'Cause it's meant for you to take part in it all Never bailin' out 'Cause you feel better when you're not alone They say money can't buy happiness If that's true Why does society convince it's what you should pursue Caught up in this materialistic race But true happiness comes from a different place [Outro] [Chorus] Materialistic, not that realistic That's why we chase it The world's too real to face it Can't comprehend it, oh The materialistic illusion Functions as a solution In reality, it's a prison Take a breath and listen [End]
