Dax – GOTHAM (Lyrics)

GOTHAM LYRICS:

I think that we’re headed down the wrong road Fakes real and they say real’s fake woke False prophets on these screens everywhere we go But what did you expected when dumb people got smart phones More memes cool make it all a big joke Crown your fake kings and let them sit up on your fake thrones You’re young now but just wait until you grow old When life gets real you’ll remember all these words I wrote I went roaming walked multiple ways For 40 nights 40 sleeps yes multiple days In the dessert no food water searching for the answers but you listen to these people who got nothing to say You wouldn’t know real if it slapped you right in the face Ain’t for the culture I can tell by the sh*t you embrace I’m in Gotham but my minds in a different place So F*ck your co-signs, money, and your radio play I be shaking when I write my music I’ve been anti-v*olent but don’t push me cause I just might do it They won’t give you no credit cause they know you’ll use it And that’s what happens when the master starts fearing the student In this city you’re a number they don’t see you as human Just a puppet they replace for their games and amusement In a city full of angels with the biggest influence I see demons with a platform who just fucking abuse it

In Gotham..

Everybody knows everybody if you ain’t got a blue check you Ain’t anybody Redo, repeat, sleep, double tap, see copy Lost souls unaware they’re turning into dead zombies Everywhere you look is plastic all fabricated Everything you’ve seen on tv was exaggerated. Don’t nobody see you till you get a million followers and when you do they treat you like you’re someone and you’re validated What do you do? How much money you make? Who do you know? What do you drive? Where do you stay? And while you’re answering those questions They’ll be calculating how much of it they can see themselves trying to come in and take If you’re fragile don’t you even try come to this place They gon’ build you just to break you then rebuild you to break Let you reach your own limit then heroically save and that’s exactly how Gotham turns you into a slave

In Gotham Everyone goes and they lose they’re souls cause they can’t control in Gotham Everyone lies it’s an eye for an eye you will lose your mind in Gotham Everyone goes and they lose their souls cause they can’t control in Gotham Living in Gotham Living in Gotham Living in Gotham Living in Gotham

Nobodies from here But everybody come here Wanting to be famous till they realize the price of fame brings close everything that they once feared Consumed by the algorithm it becomes clear life’s a simulation all controlled by a puppeteer blind people leading blind people driving cars to a destination that is unclear while they can’t steer 1 year 2 years 3 years 4 Drugs alcohol addiction morgue Fake friends women gold digging as a sport who convince you, you should live a whole life you can’t afford Nobody sees you, you’re continuously ignored Everybody wants fame they don’t care what it’s for They don’t wanna build theirs, They’re just tryna take yours This is dog eat dog in this messed up world

You think you need this place but you don’t Happiness is not a physical place you call home Did you ever wonder why you feel like you feel when you take that time away from your phone Fake shit goes viral we know this won’t They’ll say they care but will never show Gotham isn’t just a place it’s a mind state Watered by the thoughts that manifest what you grow

In Gotham Everyone goes And they lose they’re souls cause they can’t control in Gotham Everyone lies it’s an eye for an eye you will lose your mind in Gotham Everyone goes and they lose their souls cause they can’t control in Gotham Living in Gotham Living in Gotham Living in Gotham Living in Gotham

Don’t Tell them how you feel cause I promise they won’t call back Everybodies in it for money so it’s all bad Killing off my demons I’m rapping this in all black I ain’t gotta I ain’t gotta I ain’t gotta I ain’t gotta Prove nothing to Gotham they ain’t done nothing for me… for me
