If perception is reality
Then what do i really see
What you dont know wont hurt you
But what you always wonder will kill you
Is the truth really the best way
Im not one to say
Im not innocent in this game
In the end were all the same
Somebody trynna be somebody
And deep down we all think were nobodys
Perception is not reality
Its all the you DONT really see
When hes contemplating on carrying notebooks or a gat
In his new jansport backpak
So smart
But wont do his part
Becoming a product of his environment
This is not what his grandpa ment
With his last few breaths
He told him always be your best
Or that girl who goes home just to get abused
You dont ever see the bruse
And when you do
You go ohhh
Who beat your
Bringing up all the past
She goes along with it
You dont even notice
She dont even trip
So how well do we know anybody
You only see what we choose to tell everybody
