[Verse 1: Dereau] Montage of success, the Tiger Gina's hair salon Take a threat and set it up like Siderbaum Sodom and Gomorrah, just the saddest song One day you're here baby boy then the next you're gone Same story, life hellish like Dannemora Pop told me he the Heir Apparent, way over 40 Had the world lost it, few times over Guess respect and feeling like a somebody most important No age limit windows tinted My God what becomes of a Idol Mind n***as out here wasting time, debt to they waistline Rum got me slumped, I picture a free Palestine Success like you that n***a in ya Idol's eyes Freebase this track, old school like 85 I feel a lost cause trying to free 85s Still maintain this 8 to 5, I'm trying to stay alive [Hook: Dereau] My God My God My God what becomes of a Idol Mind My God Life's Hard, It happens every time [Hook: Kino Watson] This little Idol Mind O Oh O Oh Idol Mind Idol Mind [Verse 2: Dereau] Don't mistake my enemies to be your friends The devil outside but the truth within Just stopped my Aunt's relapse, that's nothin She kept me from being kicked outta ma duke stomach Look around, all I see is the suffering n***as gay for a check, the sh** is disgusting Deumanize black males like we nothin Better man up and let broth fill yo cupboard Confirm my worst fears we live in the last years Enough to take a grown man, bring him to tears My God what becomes of a Idol Mind My God who you gon send to lead the blind One day boy you gon be our preacher A burglar is better, least you know they stealing Ask God for the truth and pray he reveal it But it's locked in the Vatican, It's one big secret
[Hook] [Verse 3: Dereau] Yeah I made a little money, it's gone now Life like a creek so I'm putting my toes down Line my dress pants and wait for the showdown And thank God that I got something to show now Cause words cause movements, telekinesis Trying to move through the Matrix and pick the leeches Won't yield for the money the fame or the women But thank God I walked in before she tried to end it [Hook] [Bridge: Dereau] Dereau Kino Young Oz The devil tempts every man But A Idol Mind tempts the devil, AJ [Spoken Word: AJ] Oceans oscillate us all apart from actuality and I am but an isolate isle Watching sanity smile beneath the canopy of our past lives That keep me rolling like tides but I'm sure As if we were nomads with no gods Trying to fight against the odds But we never give our lies to break even So you'll notice that, no man ever makes it in time to believe in That's when we find ourselves Still alive, But each breathe-in's uncertain Still lurking on waves gone by Looking down despite the skies Cause pa**ive eyes never cried for my demons And time waits for no season, nor reason at all No purpose nor Poise Just lost little boys making castles out of sand to spite the water As we drift alone and fade into that midnight curtain Steady wishin on waves gone by Stars, nice cars, and those material things that never bring you happiness But we continue to scheme We never seem to wake up We love the glitz and the gleam But hate the work that make it worth it, it's a pitiful thing Idolizing the dream But idol eyes never seen below the surface know that worth lies in your purpose Peace
