The great pretender, pretending life away The love defender He doesn't know where he stands, he's lost and confused Searching for ways and paths to take him to what's good A smiling mask for the world outside, but a sad face to himself He knows deep inside he's only fooling himself Searching for wealth and strength, but in all the wrong places He gets so close, so often, that he can even taste it And then he backslides into his sad world again Time on a constant basis he's merely wasted Cried to himself and to a god he's not sure existed Heart mind spirit, severed, twisted He's really tried to get the gist of things, but maybe never hard enough He's losing touch and he is tired of his pretending bluff Sometimes the Midas touch he wishes is all he could have Then he sees he'd have nothing, and have nothing to withstand Or stand with nothing 'cause then he'd be completely alone Incomplete with no home, incomplete like the clones The great pretender, pretending life away The hate contender, but the hate just seems to stay The love defender, trying to find his way But without truthful honesty, I said the love just goes astray The great pretender, pretending life away The hate contender, but the hate just seems to stay The love defender and he's trying to find his way But without truthful honesty, I said the love just goes astray Against the world, this cat reckons the world owes him But with that mentality, the world owns him He knows many people, but nobody knows him He seems to use and abuse and take advantage without controlling Ancient spirit, but hasn't yet truly come of age Reluctant to pay, this cat wants to get paid Refuses to give, and is ever so ready to take Talks of mother nature but natural laws he always breaks The great pretender, living in his world of fake How long will it take to get things all right To execute this fight to regain his inner sight And rid his bothered spirit of all blurs and all plight? No longer concerned with the parasite hype He needs the formula, and is seemingly ready to get it He's got to stop taking life for granted and begin to respect it Protect and present honest truth without resentment The great pretender, pretending life away The hate contender, but the hate just seems to stay The love defender, trying to find his way But without truthful honesty, I said the love just goes astray The great pretender, pretending life away The hate contender, but the hate just seems to stay The love defender and he's trying to find his way But without truthful honesty, I said the love just goes astray He seems to know which way to go to get the right answers But he's too scared to bite the bullet and take those chances Big heart packed with love like Dorothy's lion with lost courage Big talk, but can't seem to take advantage Opportunities rise, instantly erased by fear Living with lies is all he knows, but he's got the Burning Spear He can be the warrior-souljah of strength with no worries Sagila, shield and spear will be all that he carries Shield is truth and Spear is the fear he abolishes Walking on strong with a positive perspective Sagila means he's strong-headed irrationality rejected He's ready to stop blaming the world to become sincerely connected He's ready for change and to give change in return He's ready to humble, man I said he's ready to learn Inside still is the fire which eternally burns, so he internally turns The great pretender, pretending life away The hate contender, but the hate just seems to stay The love defender, trying to find his way But without truthful honesty, I said the love just goes astray The great pretender, pretending life away The hate contender, but the hate just seems to stay The love defender and he's trying to find his way But without truthful honesty, I said the love just goes astray
