Rushden & Diamonds - What It Seems

You know Michael
What's goin' on
There's been one thing that's been on my mind
What is it
One thing I've been noticing every single day
I think I see it to
Everybody's out there trying to live
The million dollar dream
Pick it up

Hey
Hey
Hey
All I see is people out there trying to live the million dollar dream
You know it
You know it
But when you just look a little closer nothing's quite like what it seems
Hey
Hey
Hey
All I see is people out there acting like they're in a movie scene
One million dollars
Two million dollars
But when you just look a little closer nothing's quite like what it seems

Lately I see kids try to front just like they're winning But ever since the beginning Michael's pushed it to the limit
If you're in it represent it
Put your hands down this ain't Vegas
All I see is people copying my style
You ain't Elvis
It's a very well known fact
Rappers don't know how to act
You should at least up your style
People want there money back
These days everyone's an act
With a worthless drum pack
Tryin' to chase the same sound
But you cannot be the man
Sucker

All I see is people out there acting like they're in a movie scene
One million dollars

But when you just look a little closer nothing's quite like what it seems

More authentic than a Rolex
Jealous of where I get to go next
In a chaperoned Bertone with a Trojan Roman David complex
Lately all I see is average rappers trying to meet their quotas
But if they focused on their craft perhaps they'd get to go and join the conquest
People out here taking pictures of their salads on vacation
While they could be trading stocks and bonds and traveling the nation
Um
I don't mean to brag um
Listening to a Donald Fagen
In an Aston Marten Vanquish station-wagon
Cannons blazin'
Ha ha

Tell me why you're dreamin'
Cause there's gotta be a reason
Tell me why you're dreamin'
Cause there's just gotta be a reason
Why you act like that
Ah ha
Ah ha
Why would you act like that

Ha ha
Bunch of Goddamn unprofessionals
True
Everything I said
I mean it
You meant it
I mean I meant it
Yes
Goddamnit
ha ha ha ha
Michael
Oh
