WHAT IT SEEMS
WRITTEN BY LORD DIAMONDS, MICHAEL RUSHDEN
PUBLISHED BY VOLUNTEER PUBLISHING (SOCAN)
SPOKEN INTRO: You know Michael / what’s goin’ on? / theres been one thing that’s been on my mind / what is it? / one thing I’ve been noticing every single day / I think I see it to / everybody’s out there trying to live / the million dollar dream / pick it up.
HOOK: (Currency) X 8 / (hey) X 3 / all I see is people out there trying to live the million dollar dream / (you know it) X 2 / (currency) X 3 / but when you just look a little closer nothing’s quite like what it seems / (currency) X 3 / (hey) X 3 / all I see is people out there acting like they in a movie scene / one million dollars / two million dollars / (currency) X 3 / But when you just look a little closer nothing’s quite like what it seems.
RUSHDEN: Lately I see kids try to front just like they’re winning / but ever since the beginning Michael’s pushed it to the limit / if you’re in it represent it / put your hands down this ain’t Vegas / all I see is people copying my style / you ain’t Elvis / it’s a very well known fact / rappers don’t know how to act / you should at least up your style / people want there money back / these days everyone’s an act / with a worthless drum pack / tryin’ to chase the same sound / but you cannot be the man / sucker
HOOK: Repeat
LANK: Buyin followers to look important / Oh yeah / Fake it til you make it is the notion / Oh yeah / Use whoever just to get noticed / Oh yeah / Money over everything's your focus / Oh yeah / Look at the other people that be flexin on their pictures holdin up alot of cash / Now they have alot of fame thinkin to yourself / Hmm I want that / But everything isn't what it seems / This is what you run in to / You meet those people you look up to / And find out that they're frontin too / Ooh
BRIDGE: Tell me why you’re dreamin’ / cause there’s gotta be a reason / tell me why you’re dreamin’ / cause there’s just gotta be a reason / why you act like that / (ah ha) X 2 / why would you act like that.
DIAMONDS: More authentic than a Rolex / jealous of where I get to go next / in a chaperoned Bertone with a Trojan Roman David complex, lately all I see is average rappers trying to meet their quotas / but if they focused on their craft perhaps they’d get to go and join the conquest / people out here taking pictures of their salads on vacation / while they could be trading stocks and bonds while travelling the nation / um / I don’t mean to brag um / listening to a Donald Fagen / in an Aston Marten Vanquish station-wagon / cannons blazin’.
