Artist/Band: Hilltop Hoods
Lyrics for Song: Illusionary Lines
Lyrics for Album: The Calling [2004]



[Verse One - Pressure]

I once had time on my hands, but now handling time

Is coping with this life cycle and the mandatory grind

My sanity's fine, just falling short of stamina I'm

Searching for some food for thought to feed this famine of mind

And when I'm stagnant I rhyme, it helps the night turn to day

I churn my way through this nine to five and urban decay

Believe me it's bleak, and though the city's breaths in its sleep

It's just a paddock, ain't no where a shepherds leading these sheep

Now most prefer it covered up lie than the truth naked

The truth is ugly like cellulite; please don't publicly parade it

I hate it but to escape it would be luck on fluke

I feel like I'm a dope beat but I'm stuck on loop

But that's my life cycle; freedom means everything to me

And face value's got us believing everything we see

So if our eyes tell us lies the truth is we're blind

So keep on walking straight and narrow down illusionary lines



[Verse Two - Pressure]

I once had respect for this game, but now this game of respect

Is sold to the highest bidder with some fame and a cheque

Now any layman can get respect without breaking his neck

Paying dues, time these crews started paying some debt

It ain't lights and cameras, personalities on set

Distorting realities in their context

With no originality concepts

Who gives a fuck about a salary; this ain't a popularity contest

Cos hip hop ain't faking for ends

Hip-hop ain't fading with trends

It ain't rich kids playing with pens

It ain't the clothes on your back, or the label on them

It's where you're at, so I say it again

It's just my life cycle; music means everything to me

It's just a fashion show, nah; don't believe everything you see

Cos if our eyes tell us lies the truth is we're blind

So keep on walking straight and narrow down illusionary lines



[Verse Three - Pressure]

That's just my life cycle, nothing matters but setting me free

Because my freedom and hip hop be meaning everything to me

Now face values and fashions empower everything we be

Believing everything we hear, and everything we see

So if our eyes tell us lies, then we usually find

Our visions cluttered by this scutter so the truth is we're blind

It's just poison food for thought for these dillusionary minds

So stop walking straight and narrow down illusionary
