The Realist

The Realist was a magazine of "social-political-religious criticism and satire", intended as a hybrid of a grown-ups version of Mad and Lyle Stuart's anti-censorship monthly The Independent. Edited and published by Paul Krassner, and often regarded as a milestone in the American underground or countercultural press of the mid-20th century, it was a nationally-distributed newsstand publication as early as 1958. Publication was discontinued in 2001. more »

The actor in my mind plays a lot of games
He deceives me and goes by many names
It's like my life is one big flick
And I'm the main character but I can't quit
I forget my script. And mess up my lines
I screwed up the movie 'cause I started to rhyme
It wasn't a musical we were performing
This chorus is just the warning
Sometimes I feel like I'm just acting
Which is why I'm consistently rapping
About how you must find the real self
And stop acting like the fake self
You have to stop letting the fake self take over
You can't find luck. Four leaf clovers
You shouldn't let the actor have authority
You shouldn't let him. He's not worthy
Like picking up Thor's hammer
He couldn't do it. Not in all his glamor
But he will lie and tell you he can
He will lie to you and ask you to take his hand but
That won't work out well for you
That's not what I want you to do
It's not what God wants for you
So stop listening to him dude
The actor in your mind is a professional actor
Aka a professional liar
He will get you to do what he wants
If you let him get inside your heart
So keep your heart like a barricaded fortress
Don't let the actor in if he's being an orphan
Cuz just remember that he's acting
No truth here. His career is acting
The actor in my mind plays a lot of games
He deceives me and goes by many names
It's like my life is one big flick
But I'm the main character so I can't quit
I forget my script and mess up my lines
I screwed up the movie 'cause I started to rhyme
I started to spit and now it's messed up
But I'd like to see you shut me up
I know I can't speak for everyone
But I can tell you that I've got one
I've got an actor in my mind
But i don't ever let him see outside
He doesn't get to see the light of the sun
He's locked up now where no one
Can ever see him ever again
Cuz there was a time where he was free to run but that was back when
I was confused and very open
Back when I was dying and I was choking
I was choking on the stuff i was eating
It wasn't food so I was taking quite a beating
I was feeding on the lies of that actor
He was beating me and giving many fractures
My body was broken and it was hurting
But he sparked a passion in me for me to start wording
All my pain and feelings into a beat
I'll explain what I mean. Take a seat
Pain is a big inspiration for my music
Music is the place to go where I'm safe to lose it
It's the place where I let out all my feelings
All my heartache and pain to start my healing
It's a really easy way for me to communicate
You can't heal properly if you have anything fake yeah
The actor in my mind plays a lot of games
He deceives me and goes by many names
It's like my life is one big flick
And I'm the main character so I can't quit
I forget my script and mess up my lines
I screwed up the movie 'cause I started to rhyme
My movie shouldn't rhyme it's not 8 mile
But it should rhyme and it's not 8 mile
The Actor in my Mind
The Actor in my Mind
Makes me mad all the time
The Actor in my Mind
The Actor of my Mind
He's not the Ruler of my Mind
The Actor in my Mind
The Actor in my Mind
Makes me mad all the time
The Actor in my Mind
The Actor of my Mind
Not the Ruler of my Mind
The actor in my mind plays a lot of games
He deceives me and goes by many names
It's like my life is one big flick
And I'm the main character so I can't quit
I forget my script and mess up my lines
I screwed up the movie 'cause I started to rhyme
I decided to change the script
But now y'all look at this
The actor in my mind
Aye. Let's go
The actor in my mind
Hey. Yeah
He goes by many names
Tries to shackle me in chains
But I won't let him cuz I won't play his games
I won't let him get inside my head
It's a fortress. You won't take it 'til I'm dead
Over my dead body
