Artful Deception

by Kind Dub

/

about

As artists we work hard to pursue our creative dreams. We have to be mindful of the crooks and the ones out to prey on our artistic endeavors. The machine must be fed constantly, however we refuse to buy into the ploys and the hype. This is why we put in the hours and investments to carve our own lane and achieve our own process for creativity that no one else can influence or alter. This is much More Than Music. Our mentality for creative entrepreneurship trickles down from the way we live our lives, and we choose not to entertain the trickery or illusions.

lyrics

Yo this life is but a dream, this life ain't what it seems
But we gotta keep it moving right
Out here plottin all these schemes money man and the machine
Ain't no shortage of the grease why
They got our back against the wall hope you pivot you don't fall
Or you bounce back real nice
No success without the fails why I keep it off the rails
Double up get it back twice get it back

Get it back when we movin like a rapper tryna make a stack
Give it back with the movement Colorado all up on my back
They try to sell you all these pipe dreams
Packed it passed it to the left
Proceed to do our own thing
Pressing albums built a studio and did the math
Self-investments turning circles jotting down my past
Looking to the future more than ever like a stars path
Hardly put my head to the pillow cause I know

Yo this life is but a dream, this life ain't what it seems
But we gotta keep it moving right
Out here plottin all these schemes money man and the machine
Ain't no shortage of the grease why
They got our back against the wall hope you pivot you don't fall
Or you bounce back real nice
No success without the fails why I keep it off the rails
Double up get it back twice get it back

The games to be sold but we fed up and we’re tellin it
Tired of the feds and the politics they sellin it
Payin all the taxes so the man can just embellish it
Pissin off the man cause the system need dismantling
Blowin up the game and all the scenery and
When it comes to the shootin yea I got the camera in my hand
Yea it’s much more than music buildin out the plan
Foundation is cemented time to make it last

Yo this life is but a dream, this life ain't what it seems
But we gotta keep it moving right
Out here plottin all these schemes money man and the machine
Ain't no shortage of the grease why
They got our back against the wall hope you pivot you don't fall
Or you bounce back real nice
No success without the fails why I keep it off the rails
Double up get it back twice get it back
