The Green Balloons
[Intro]

[Verse 1: SkyBlew]
What's life if not livin'
Some drive but not driven
Pointing fingers like we never been forgiven
You chasing the image of fast cars
The women of vast bras
But the scars much deeper than facades
Some believe in God, most believe in the scientific
Others found a dark side, I won't get too specific
What's wrong with a civic?
But we living in the age of materialism
Flashy things imperialism
Is going on behind closed doors
You know the powers that be
Control your brain now you want what you see
C'est la vie T.V. got you in a daze
You wanna live the good life but you gonna have to pay
Fantasizing about the big houses you don't even own
So technically, you ain't even got a home
Knee deep in debt while celebs own jets
I mean, you renting but you still spending all your checks
Idolizing all the new fashions and trends
Won't even help a friend when you got a hand to lend
Let me stop going in
Cause when those balloons pop in the wind
You gonna see where the grass ends, my friend
[Hook]
They say the grass much greener on the other side
But get there turn out to be another lie
Lie, lie, yeah another lie
Lie, lie, just another lie
They say the grass much greener on the other side
But get there turn out to be another lie

[Verse 2]
You want the life that you see on the screen
Infatuated by the green, think you living the dream
Bright lights, big city, but the shining is vague
And that's the part that they don't portray
Now you in a disarray because you're feeling so worthless
And nothing really changed, was it worth the purchase?
Holding on balloons in your thousand dollar outfit
Floating to the greener side, but I highly doubt it
That you'll want to stay once the lie's been revealed
I bet that whole illusion start looking less real
But I'mma have to chill, I don't wanna sound preachy
Cause most mute the truth, never ask can you teach me?
The blind lead the blind while the minds turn swine
Undermine what they have
Cause they'll rather dine with a silver spoon
Green balloons popping in the wind
Floating to reality of where the grass ends, my friend
[Hook]
They say the grass much greener on the other side
But get there turn out to be another lie
Lie, lie, yeah another lie
Lie, lie, just another lie
They say the grass much greener on the other side
But get there turn out to be another lie

[Verse 3]
The luxurious life, the curious type
Would pursue, flirt with the night
In search of delight that you keep dreaming about
And fiending about, but scream when the demons is out
People kill for the glamour, desolate the life
That you once loved just to live the unknown
Cause the other side never been shown or exposed
Ironic how they say all that glitters ain't gold
We learn from the wise ones with four or five sons
That been there
They tell you stay strong
Don't succumb to the evils of the world
It's hard living minimum wage
Plus the mirage getting thrown in our face
Got us questioning fate, but I embrace what was given to me
The simple things hold a greater merit eventually
The grass dies from the root
Now you stuck with the truth
And a string in your palm
No balloons to recoup
[Hook]
They say the grass much greener on the other side
But get there turn out to be another lie
Lie, lie, yeah another lie
Lie, lie, just another lie
They say the grass much greener on the other side
But get there turn out to be another lie

But get there turn out to be another lie
But get there turn out to be another lie
But get there turn out to be another lie
But get there turn out to be another lie
