Artist: Downsyde Album: When The Dust Settles Song: Lies of Honesty Typed by: newos_crib_is@hotmail.com "Excuse me while I light my spliff right now" [Optamus] Louis Slippaz on production Smoked out session in Dazastah's lair It's for all my weed head's, check it [Verse 1 - Optamus] I play the part as a pawn, a king, queen and a knight I'm like an arctic explorer on the hardest of plights Defy the law of gravity with the way we get down And getting up, off the journey, like the Himalay peeps It's like the sooner they see, breaking through with the heat And molten lava busting through the surface, volcanic freak Explosions heat my globe and speeches woven the lamb's fleece Blood runs through my veins, pulsating off beats Take you all there, *Take you all where?*, To the world's end Do it in your head like a call from ex-girlfriends Delving, deeper what you're witnessing now Is a cloud surrounded round people that I like to call doubt It's all about, what we did, what we do, what we can't do What we're gonna do when everybody's gotta follow you Follow me, honesty is the best policy A mark's been made, I take you away from mediocrity [Hook] Quicksand life got me sinking to the earth Bad things happen, take the good for what it's worth Escape all the demons, pushing me to sin Never try to lock my eyes with the chin Slowly we fade, just the birth of a memory Taking many steps off the stride of a centipede Many see illusions, but fail to see reality We see the truth, the truth is imaginary [Verse 2 - Dazastah] Let me take you to a place, higher than the Andes I make you see the pain like eyes are getting sandy It's sweet hurt, like a man in love with a slut Knuckle bleeding labour, we love making the cut Days of insomnia, searching for the dreamtime Soul seeking melodies entrance me like green eyes Spirits bring the light to your face like a campfire Glowing in the light, I illuminate your mind Darkness surrounds, I'm the torture of flames Dazastah is the goblin who knows the right way So follow him, through the dab of the truth I won't open the doors, only show you the clues Be careful what you say because the wall's got ears And the grapevine whispers your secret and fears Echoing in your skull like screams in a chamber I'm stuck in your head like your instinct for danger [Hook] [Verse 3 - Shahbaz] Hidden like a treasure chest covered with vermin Cryptic like a bible, listen to my sermon Burning like a wicked witch, a stake in the heart A vampire alight, living in the dark Thrown in the dungeons, looking from the bars The underground's stone cold, trynna break the cast I want to run free like the man in the iron mask There's another one of me making life hard The reason it's him, it's why I'm locked up I'm body-snatching my twin, now I'm just stuck Frozen in time, like the iceman I kill a cold tear like I'm crying "Free man" I'm living with heathens doing what they do Walking like a Roman, stabbing the truth Kicking up a fuss, revolt like the Jews So listen to these scriptures and hear my proof [Hook] [Scratches by DJ Armee]
