makangani - the great pretender lyrics

the great pretender, pretending life away
the love defender

he doesn’t know where he stands, he’s lost and confused
searching for ways and paths to take him to what’s good
a smiling mask for the world outside, but a sad face to himself
he knows deep inside he’s only fooling himself
searching for wealth and strength, but in all the wrong places
he gets so close, so often, that he can even taste it
and then he backslides into his sad world again
time on a constant basis he’s merely wasted
cried to himself and to a god he’s not sure existed
heart mind spirit, severed, twisted
he’s really tried to get the gist of things, but maybe never hard enough
he’s losing touch and he is tired of his pretending bluff
sometimes the midas touch he wishes is all he could have
then he sees he’d have nothing, and have nothing to withstand
or stand with nothing ’cause then he’d be completely alone
incomplete with no home, incomplete like the clones

the great pretender, pretending life away
the hate contender, but the hate just seems to stay
the love defender, trying to find his way
but without truthful honesty, i said the love just goes astray

the great pretender, pretending life away
the hate contender, but the hate just seems to stay
the love defender and he’s trying to find his way
but without truthful honesty, i said the love just goes astray

against the world, this cat reckons the world owes him
but with that mentality, the world owns him
he knows many people, but n0body knows him
he seems to use and abuse and take advantage without controlling
ancient spirit, but hasn’t yet truly come of age
reluctant to pay, this cat wants to get paid
refuses to give, and is ever so ready to take
talks of mother nature but natural laws he always breaks
the great pretender, living in his world of fake
how long will it take to get things all right
to execute this fight to regain his inner sight
and rid his bothered spirit of all blurs and all plight?
no longer concerned with the parasite hype
he needs the formula, and is seemingly ready to get it
he’s got to stop taking life for granted and begin to respect it
protect and present honest truth without resentment

the great pretender, pretending life away
the hate contender, but the hate just seems to stay
the love defender, trying to find his way
but without truthful honesty, i said the love just goes astray

he seems to know which way to go to get the right answers
but he’s too scared to bite the bullet and take those chances
big heart packed with love like dorothy’s lion with lost courage
big talk, but can’t seem to take advantage
opportunities rise, instantly erased by fear
living with lies is all he knows, but he’s got the burning spear
he can be the warrior-souljah of strength with no worries
sagila, shield and spear will be all that he carries
shield is truth and spear is the fear he abolishes
walking on strong with a positive perspective
sagila means he’s strong-headed irrationality rejected
he’s ready to stop blaming the world to become sincerely connected
he’s ready for change and to give change in return
he’s ready to humble, man i said he’s ready to learn
inside still is the fire which eternally burns, so he internally turns

the great pretender, pretending life away
the hate contender, but the hate just seems to stay
the love defender, trying to find his way
but without truthful honesty, i said the love just goes astray
