[00:00.00](Intro)
[00:00.03]Kennedy Jones don't rap
[00:02.61]You know those times
[00:05.25]Just get inspired
[00:07.16]You hear some, some hotness like this
[00:09.72]Like this Gramatik instrumental
[00:13.17]You just wanna drop some truth
[00:15.85]Well here it is
[00:17.82]Gramatik, Kennedy Jones
[00:22.09]
[00:22.13](Verse 1)
[00:22.19]Grammatically I can speak infetecly about the mortar tragedy
[00:25.79]And when I tell the truth they getting mad at me
[00:27.77]Empty handed leading couldn't stand to be a family
[00:30.27]Watching ma switch sided, like I was watching Vanity
[00:33.15]This ain't no fake news no nothing's trumping Kennedy
[00:35.63]I keep my head strong while I'm replenishing this energy
[00:38.29]I've been in Venice Beach and they who knew better speech
[00:40.72]They'll try to erase the people in the streets to get 'em of the leach
[00:43.49]These days it's all retweets and likes
[00:45.73]Twitter, favorites and likes flashing when you walking by
[00:48.61]What questions you asking when you wanna vibe?
[00:51.06]Is it about the people or the feeling inside when your phone jive?
[00:54.36]Blowing up 'cause you just post some fire
[00:56.54]Know enough to see through the lies and post by the hype
[00:59.24]If I'm ever by the mic I'll rip in to puzzle pieces
[01:02.15]When completed would spell out the word "truth" by design
[01:05.07]And by the time you hit rewind over a thousand times
[01:07.69]Tryna decide for my last line over a thousand miles
[01:10.19]I've done the same to Hunger Games, in lyrics I be winning it
[01:12.87]Taking over districts, my appetite is infinite
[01:15.73]I just post a preview of this track up on the Internet
[01:18.29]Within two minutes phones going off but I ain't finished yet
[01:21.32]Keeping ? of focus for this message I'm delivering
[01:23.29]To you this is just music, but to me I am living it
[01:26.30]
[01:26.33](Chorus)
[01:26.35]There's no reason for the lies yo
[01:29.17]There's no reason that we can't out grow
[01:31.96]There's a reason for the lies yo
[01:34.50](There's a reason for the lies yo)
[01:37.19]There's no reason for the lies yo
[01:39.76]There's no reason that we can't out grow
[01:42.65]There's a reason for the lies yo
[01:44.64](Lies yo)
[01:46.66]
[01:46.68](Verse 2)
[01:47.64]The reason I can find to front who I really am
[01:50.10]Take a glimpse into the spirit you'll find what's really planned
[01:52.71]At the heart of every individual upon the planet
[01:55.51]Keep it real when I'm on stage or when I'm chilling with my fans
[01:58.03]There's a reason I don't push a hundred thousand dollar whip
[02:00.74]I don't need to stall on anyone to know that I'm a Crip
[02:03.44]With the heart as so replaced by no material or cereal
[02:06.07]Villain drilling holes to an egotistic sillain
[02:08.53]That's why it's chin high, little finger to the pessimist
[02:11.58]'Cause life's a journey not a race so spit the living testament
[02:14.38]Everybody wanna shine until they get the best of every life
[02:17.13]A humans side goes away if you invested it
[02:19.58]Showing love to the ones who hold you down no matter what
[02:22.39]Never let the money change you and always walk the walk
[02:24.94]Mentally I'm growing into what I'm mean to be
[02:27.24]And never let my status establish a partaking for thoughts
[02:30.60]
[02:30.63](Chorus)
[02:30.66]There's no reason for the lies yo
[02:33.19]There's no reason that we can't out grow
[02:36.03]There's a reason for the lies yo
[02:38.42](There's a reason for the lies yo)
[02:41.28]There's no reason for the lies yo
[02:43.87]There's no reason that we can't out grow
[02:46.72]There's a reason for the lies yo
[02:48.69](Lies yo)
[02:53.63]
[02:55.63](Outro)
[02:57.76]Kennedy Jones, Gramatik
[03:03.86]2017 and beyond
[03:07.95]Hip-hop still lives on
[03:11.88]And we out
